Sneak Peek

I thought I would give you all a sneek peek of the photo booth we set up at our wedding. I LOVE this photo of us! Shona took it with her iphone using the hipstamatic ap.

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! Its going to be a massive 6 page spread apparently! Its so very exciting, even Jarrod jumped up and down.! So make sure you all rush out to get your issue in June to see some of the first pictures! Because I wont be posting my selection of the photos till its out!

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!

I wish I lived here

How nice it would be to sit outside on a clear winters night all rugged up with friends, red wine, good food and lots of candles. I'm looking forward to winter in some ways, the beach is at its nicest on a cold winter day when all the dark greens and gray blues come out. I will miss summer though.

More Simply Bloom

I'm really loving the photography of Vania and Christine from Simply Bloom at the moment. Their photos are so delicate and whimsy and I always find myself daydreaming of how the events they photographed played out.

And once again, I am obsessing about a rustic turquoise theme.

A backyard cheese party

On the weekend, I went to the engagement party of one of my bridesmaids. It was such a lovely relaxed atmosphere in her backyard with touches of yellow and lots of cheese! Even the cake was made of cheese! The weather was balmy and the wine was flowing and did I mention lots of cheese! Some of the most incredible cheese I have tasted!

Happy Valentines Day

Normally Jarrod and I don't really do the whole Valentines thing, but we figured seeing as it is our first one as a married couple we would do something. So I have a fancy lunch prepared for him today and he is taking me out to dinner and a movie. Do you celebrate Valentines Day? Do you go all out? or are you one of those people that think it's just another day designed for spending a lot of money?

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day and that it is full of love and laughter x

Inspirational Interiors

I came across this article from the cool hunter and was mesmerised by the life that this interior brings. The crisp white is softened with the geometric layering of the ceiling panels and given an energetic lift with the greenery. The life that plants bring into interior spaces is still greatly underestimated.
This venue would make a wonderful setting for a classy summer lunch time event and early evening. With cucumber sandwiches and martinis, succulents, white Singapore orchids and maybe the occasional birds of paradise. One day... one day when I'm a successful and rich event designer (ha!) I will design and build an event venue just like this with a large timber deck overlooking the water.

Simplebloom photo shoot

There is something so beautiful about light turquoise in a vintage setting. Its such a delicate colour. I would love to do a rustic wedding with light turquoise, lace and twine out in the country with hay bale chairs and calico table cloths. This photo shoot by SimpleBloom is so beautifully inspiring.
