Spring 2011 Haute Couture
Love love LOVE Couture Fashion Week. If you need some fashion inspiration then CFW is the place to go to get it. The standout show was easily Elie Saab. What this man can do to a dress is quite simply put ah-mazing. I have no doubt in my mind you'll see a few of his couture pieces popping up on the Oscars red carpet in a couple of months. Alexis Mabille went, again, for a pretty neutral palette with splashes of black and deep colours. I loved her skirts with billowing trains. So pretty! Valentino weren't as outstanding as expected. The new team behind the label, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, showed an ultra feminie collection, although as far as couture goes it didn't scream 'look at me'. The flat neutral used paled in comparison to Elie Saab. For all the looks from this years shows visit www.vogue.com.au. I'll wrap the shows up on Monday so stay tuned!

Wedding Party 2011, Our Space
Images from the Wedding Party are beginning to roll in and I wanted to share a few with you. I'll start with our own area -- as all 117 vendors who participated know, it's a great outlet for creativity.
I was going for a soft, pink, Victorian, quirky feel, with accents of black to keep the look a tiny bit edgy. I enlisted lots of friends, who all independently understood what I was going for and delivered magical products that all worked together to create a little bit of a startling atmosphere, just as I intended.

You can see the gorgeous Juliska glassware, Match pewter-edged china and cutlery. LMD's Lewis Miller created the divine arrangements. An Amsale favorite crinkle chiffon dress in the background stands before my favorite piece, the full size Taylor Creative black horse!
I love to incorporate the ladies of Navy & Lavender's favor towers wherever I can. Doesn't this fit perfectly? What an innovative sweets display!
The inspiration for the shoot came from these amazing laser cut flat bird cages. Some hang inside flat, fold-up stands, and some were hung as beautiful, delicate mobiles. Available at the Wedding Library.
Here's how it came together. Linens by Nuage Designs, with a pink silk dupioni underlay. The Victoria ghost chairs just melt away, but the velvet armchairs and modern Taylor Creative fireplace make the mix perfect.
Wu's In
Last November I blogged about the launch of Jason Wu's bridal collection and I'm happy to announce that it is finally available via luxe online store Net-A-Porter. The dresses are gorgeous and for the fashionista bride they would make a very hip choice. If you'd like more info visit www.net-a-porter.com.

Martha Stewart Weddings at the Wedding Party
Our friends at Martha Stewart Weddings are all busily preparing for the Wedding Party this week. I talked to Darcy Miller (MSW Editorial Director) yesterday and she's putting the finishing touches on her "real weddings" presentation. Their graphics department is working on our programs and signage, and the editorial team is pulling together inspiration from the pages of their current issue.
Design direction for many vendors that are presenting with MSW is helmed by the talented Matthew Robbins, who wrote about his inspiration here. His work is always soft, romantic and fresh -- I can't wait to see it on Saturday.

Amanda and David
One of my favourite real weddings in the current issue is Amanda and Davids' wedding. It was shot beautifully by Next Exit Photography and had lots of crafty details. Here are a few more shots from their wedding.
These Badgley Mischka shoes are adorable, you can buy them from Piperlime who ship to Australia.
Amanda made all the ceremony programs herself and had them printed at a local printer, I love the puzzles on them which help pass the time whilst waiting for the bride.
