So much going on!

Wow! I have to say this is all very surreal. Not only am I seeing my husband's and my face in my favourite wedding magazine, but I'm now seeing our faces on one of my favourite blogs! 100 Layer cake have just posted about our wedding on their site... Crazy. When I decided that I wanted to design and style weddings and start up a business, most of my friends and family thought that it was just "another one of Gabrielle's big dreams" and it is only because of the support and shared passion from Mary that this dream is now unfolding into reality. We cant wait to share our visions and style with everyone and hopefully inspire a more creative wedding market in Adelaide and perhaps push new boundaries in events throughout Australia.
Make sure you visit me here at A Summer Picnic Wedding over the weekend, because alongside Mary&Gabrielle's series of posts on our wedding (going from getting ready to the details of the reception), I will be making more personal accounts of the day and sharing with you the details and stories that Jarrod and I felt really made the day ours.

Back from the Honeymoon!

What a trip! I cant wait to post some of the photos. But that can wait. Right now I have more exciting news...Very very soon (any day now) we will start posting on Mary&Gabrielle pictures from Jarrod and my wedding. But because there are so many, it will probably have to be done in a series starting with us getting ready and so on. Also, more exciting news, 100 Layer Cake will be posting about the wedding on their blog too (one of my very favourite for inspiration), so stay tuned to their blog also! And if you don't already know, the Wedding Style Guide's newest issue is out! It is a very surreal feeling seeing yourself in a magazine... strange.

Thank You!

Finally! The thank you cards are done and out in the mail! I'm really happy with them and it is the last piece of stationery for the wedding and now I can focus on other peoples stationery designs.
Photos of the thank you cards are over at Mary&Gabrielle.

Check out the details!

Head on over to a blog by mary&gabrielle and check out the details of the wedding that goes with this wonderful invitation!

I'm about to burst with excitement!!

Jarrod and My wedding is going to be published in Wedding Style Guide in June (as you may know) and they sent me a list of the photographs they are using....TWENTY EIGHT!

I am moving..

So this blog has given me a good run, but it is time to move on to bigger and better things. Finally Events by Mary and Gabrielle will be launching this Wednesday and with that comes a new website and a new blog. It will be much the same as this blog only much much better with more inspiration images, articles, interviews, new weeklys such as Foodie Fridays (which you cannot miss how tasty its going to be)and new Stationery Sundays! So please add the blog to your favourites once again! x

oh and PS, photos from my wedding will be posted very VERY soon! So keep reading Mary and Gabrielle!

Mrs Walsh... sounds strange!

SO We're Married!

It was the most amazing and perfect day! Even everything that didn't go to plan made it amazing, my dad stepped and almost tripped on my dress as he was walking to his seat, Jarrod almost put HIS wedding ring on my finger instead of mine and the music for our first dance didn't work so we had fun and just made the most of a bad situation and danced like idiots (at one stage Jarrod was dancing on his knees). I wish I could show you all my photos right now, but with any luck the wedding will hopefully make it into Wedding Style Guide and so I must be discreet with my photos till then. However you will not be disappointed! The wait will be worth it! I promise!

Here it is...

Mary and Gabrielle's first event!
Held at the picturesque Carrack Hill in Adelaide, the look and feel that Mary wanted for her wedding was whimsical and eclectic yet classy and romantic. I think the wedding suited her to a 'T' and reflected her and Hamish's soft and lovable nature. It was such a wonderful day and not a thing went wrong. We hope you enjoy. x

Unfortunately I cant find my piece of paper with all the vendors on it so I will have to add them later. But they were all fantastic.

Mary & Gabrielle's First Event!

Yesterday was the big day of my business partner Mary, and naturally (because we're starting up an event design business) we both designed and styled her wedding. We have made a pact to help do each others wedding, so I was up and about setting up the wedding, organising all the table settings and flowers, setting up the lolly table, organising the place settings, doing a few errands to organise a few things and it was so much fun!

We had a chat last night and she said she didn't know what she would have done without my help, and she's right, I don't know what on earth I would do for my wedding if i didn't have her. I need to her to set up the picnic rugs and cushions, the cakes table, the lolly table, and set up so many tiny bits and pieces that i wouldn't trust anyone else to do them. And it got me thinking, how on earth do Brides do it all without a wedding planner?? It takes so so sooo much stress off the bride, groom, bridal party and all the parents, its worth forking out the money for! Anyway here are a few sneak peak shots of the wedding.

Mary wanted an all white theme with muted colours coming through the flowers. She hired the rustic bird cages from Lush Lighting in Adelaide and we bought the jars for the lolly table from the lovely Kimberlee over at Brown Button. We had a gorgeous silvery green damask pattern material banner to run down the wall of the marquee and over the lolly table, but it didn't end up happening.

Also I didn't get a chance to get a photo taken of the cake on the lolly table after it was cut because people ran to the table to inhale everything before I got the chance! So that is why there is a big gap on the table. Note to self for my wedding: tell guests they can help themselves for desert! and not at any time during the reception so we can enjoy the aesthetics for a while
