Lyn and Peter

This is a really fun DIY wedding that I want to share with you today! Lyn and Peter were married at the Links Hope Island Golf Club in Queensland where Lyn added lots of fun and special touches with a lot of DIY and sourcing of products from etsy. The bride wore a beautiful Maggie Sottero dress for the ceremony and then changed into a short vintage inspired custom made dress for the reception.

From the Bride: We wanted to create something elegant, soft and romantic with a touch of vintage. It was all about the details for our wedding with many of the elements sourced online through Etsy or handmade by us. We wanted our guests to have a great time so we paid special attention by adding ‘fun’ elements like the candy buffet and foto booth, which was a real hit!

Bridal Market Party, MSW

Jennifer and I had a lot of fun planning the Martha Stewart Bridal Market party with the MS Weddings team this year. Still recovering from last night where guests got to experience delights to the senses: great food, drink, eye candy, sweets, a photobooth, great music and our own mini lavender gifts. Here are only a few shots of the outcome.

A Lavish Affair at The Baths

I visited the lovely Marisa and Michelle from A Lavish Affair in Melbourne last week and was lucky enough to get a peek at a gorgeous wedding hosted at The Baths Middle Brighton. Styled by Marisa and her team, the wedding of Kristen & James was an understated but uber-chic affair with the most gorgeous views overlooking the gorgeous Middle Brighton Baths, on The Esplanade, in Brighton, Victoria. Their 80 guests were seated at one long table so Kristen & James were able to get the most out of the space. The table was then decorated with eight tall vases filled with white tulips as well as an array of smaller vases of Rannuculus and Lisianthus roses. Crystal candlesticks were also a feature on top of the gorgeous mirror runner, which gave the illusion of double the florals and showed off the romantic flicker of the tea light candles. The luxury latte cloth gave the table a fresh, relaxed and sleek feel and looked fabulous with the chairs. If you'd like to speak to Marisa about your wedding feel free to get in touch with her via the website www.alavishaffair.com or to find out more about The Baths Middle Brighton visit www.middlebrightonbaths.com.au.
