Honeymooners

Tomorrow Jarrod and I finally begin our honeymoon! First stop London to see my family who couldn't make it to the wedding and to catch up with some of our ex-pat friends, I cant wait to go on my Soho shopping spree! I have been saving for ages to do this! We are in London for 5 days, 2 of which are in the lovely country setting of Sommerset to see my Granny. Then we hop on a train and head to Paris for three romantic nights then we fly down to Nice where we will hire a car, and drive for 1 and a half hours west to Feyance in the picturesque hills of the Provence where we will spend 4 glorious days lying by the pool in the most beautiful house all by ourselves. Got to love having the kindest most generous family friends lending us their holiday house! Then from there we fly to Rome for the last three nights of our trip then head home to reality. Cant wait to lose ourselves in Europe for a while!

See you all soon!

Oh and keep a look out for us in Wedding Style Guide!

A Summer Picnic Wedding

The weather was a perfect 36 degrees, maybe a little too hot to be driven to your wedding in a vintage Buick with no air conditioning, but no body seemed to mind while they sipped on pimms cocktails (except for the hydrangeas in my hair).

A Summer Picnic Wedding

Only a couple of weeks until the Winter issue of Wedding Style guide comes out with our wedding in it! Its so exciting! I cant wait for you to all be able to see it finally! It has been killing me not being able to show you the photos and descibe exctly the feel and nature of the wedding but only a couple of weeks left so hold on! Gosh I miss our wedding! It was so much fun!

I do need to apologise

I have neglected my blog yet again.

Now I don't know if it is the weather, or something in the Adelaide water, but I have been quite unmotivated lately. After slaving away at work I barely have enough energy to change the channel on the TV remote. Don't get me wrong I am LOVING work at the moment. I have designed 2 schools, 2 offices and a waterfront restaurant and all in 5 months and am excited that I am gaining my bosses trust in my designs (which is hard to do when you are new to a firm no matter what you have done in the past). I am just in one of those phases where I feel quite run down all the time and it is rather annoying!

There is so much to do for Mary&Gabrielle, Mary has been wonderful in keeping our blog afloat! I have been trying to get all our quotes right and figuring out our GST calcs and how we keep our records and I am now trying to get together our business plan which we really should have done months ago. Its all very excited that things are coming together and we have got some great clients on the books already!

So now, from today, I need to get motivated again, get inspired again and get back to my life again! I only have 3 weeks till my honeymoon in Europe so there is no excuse to squeeze the last remaining energy I have left and get fit healthy and motivated!

Hope you are all well!

Oh My!

You must head over Martha Stewart to look at the fun, colourful and quirky wedding of Joo and Jacob! Here are a few of my favorites...
The gorgeous stationery was done by the wonderful The Indigo Bunting and the Event design by Kelly from Yes, Please Design. The venue for the reception was held at one of my favourite (and it's eco friendly) Smog Shoppe in LA. If you want to see the creative processes of the stationery and event design head over to The Bride's Guide.

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.

The Look I'm Loving

So winter is almost here! Its getting colder and I'm finding it harder to wake up while I'm all warm in bed with my husband in one arm and my cat cuddled in the other.

I have been having a flick through some blogs to get some inspiration for my new winter wardrobe (which I haven't changed in quite a few years!) and I am loving the long jackets and denim with big statement scarves and black tights and heeled boots. I love these two ladies' looks...What are you loving in fashion at the moment?

Just Peachy!

Style me Pretty a little while ago posted this gorgeous table setting by Carter & Cook Event Co. and I absolutely LOVE it. It is very girly, and I am not normally a fan of peach, but they have used peach in such a beautiful way, especially taking it literally with the peaches as centerpieces.

Thank You!

So we are almost finished our thank you cards! Slack I know! because its been months since the wedding, but we had to wait for the photos and then finalise the gift registry then blah blah blah there are a whole list of excuses that aren't very good! BUT! They are a weekend away from having the envelope stickers and thank you cards fully printed, then all being tied with twine, and slipped in the post.

Happy Easter!

What a gorgeous day it is in Adelaide today. The sun is shining the temperature is perfect and its Easter Sunday which meant a nice long sleep in this morning followed by a surprise breakfast for Jarrod on our balcony, fresh hot omelets with prosciutto, mushrooms, red onion, vintage cheddar and baby spinach and a little fruit salad with lemon juice and a yogurt to finish. He then surprised me with an Easter egg hunt! My favourite! I'm still trying to find the last 4.

In celebration of this lovely occasion called Easter, here is a gorgeous engagement photo shoot by Galaxie Andrews I found on Green Wedding Shoes.
