Wedding Wednesday - Decoration

When it comes to decorations for a wedding there are almost too many options, it is easy to become overwhelmed.   We're pretty lucky in that our venue really doesn't need much dressing...maybe just some candles and a few vases of flowers, but on my searches I couldn't help, but fall for these beauties!

Wedding Wednesday...invitations

Yesterday we posted out our invitations.  After working on them for the last couple of months it was a relief to get them out of the door, but also slightly nerve wracking.  We had put our heart into them...what if people didn't like them!?  We do so I guess that is all that really matters!

our invites lined up and ready for their envelopes...

Whilst we designed our own invites there are so many great resources out there to find your perfect match.  Some good places to start are Etsy and Paperless Post

Fingers crossed our guest will love their invites as much as we do!

Wedding Wednesday - Photos

For me the photos are one of the most important parts of the day.  After all the hullabaloo has died down the photos are the thing you can both look back on.  I am also hoping that they will capture many moments that we don't manage to see.  With all this in mind we really wanted to make sure that we picked the right photographer, so after booking the venue finding our photographer was the next priority...step up Mister Phill!

Aside from the lovely images on Phillip Allen's website and blog what really drew me to him was his explanation that he creates "still images that are filmic in tone and exploratory in nature"  He continues that he loves "to tell stories through images" which all sounded just perfect to me.

We're meeting him in a couple of weeks to talk about the style of photos we like, I'm hoping we'll have lots like this to look back on...

The last two images were taken at Shell Bay where we are having our reception, fingers crossed the sun will shine us as well.

Its going to be awesome!!

Wedding Wednesday - Let Them Eat Cake!

This weeks wedding post is all about cake.  We've had so much fun looking at all the different style of cakes out there...who knew there were so many!?  We've not had any tastings yet, but I am very much looking forward to that stage, hopefully I'll still fit in my dress!

We particularly like the ruffled effect and are hoping that we'll be able to achieve this with butter icing...
