Inspiration Board #6: Tropical

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

This weeks inspiration board comes from a new mini Moko wedding stationery collection called Delightful Dahlia in a stunning tropical range of colours. A dear friend of mine commented that this invitation design reminded her of fireworks which made me smile and think  how appropriate! This inspiration board is all about the joy of summer time and gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. It’s all about fun and laughter with a good dose of sunshine thrown in for good measure. I love the cake which is highly detailed with dahlia petals and yet is also very simple and elegant. The pom poms for the reception are so much fun and again remind me of dahlia flowers. And wouldn’t you just love to be whisked off at the end of the celebrations in that gorgeous classic car?

Inspiration Board #5: Classic Pink and Green

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

I always love to do a modern twist on a classic theme, which is why I love the Classic Monogram Wedding Invitations by mini Moko in this Inspiration Board. The monogram itself is a lovely traditional approach often used in wedding stationery, but what gives it a twist, is the striking hot pink and green colour combination. When planning your wedding you should never be put off my using colourful wedding invitations. It doesn’t mean that these colours have to overtake the day but simply used subtly throughout. For example, keeping your wedding reception table ware a neutral white but then placing a zing of hot pink flowers every now and again would be enough. Again with the cake, stunning detail yet mostly white with a delicate burst of pink flower and green leaves. Think colour in the detail and all will click into place.

You know when a colour combination works well together when you see it all the time in nature, so why not give this striking colour combination a go. The full wedding collection comes in twelve different stationery products ensuring that you stationery theme is maintained all the way through your day. It is also available as an Engagement Invitation too.

1). What’s your favourite way to relax at the weekend?

Start the day in bed with a cup of tea made by dear Husband, and have our three children jump in bed with us. Once out of bed, a nice full cooked breakfast with fresh coffee. A day spent in the garden, or a walk in the park. Finally retiring with a big bowl of prawns, washed down with a nice glass of white whilst watching the children play. Oh, and I have to check my emails at least once a day, or I would not be relaxed.

2). Favourite restaurant?

Waterfront, Southbank, and anywhere that serves good quality seafood. Or, if we’re in the mood for Japanese, Sozai, Armadale.

3). What book are you reading at the moment?

The last book I read was SPROUT the Life You Love by Sarah Prout. It is a collection of stories by businesswomen, on how they’ve achieved their success. It is a truly inspiring book for any female entrepreneurs or those striving to become one.

4). What did you last go and see at the cinema?

Ummmm . . . Can’t remember, it would have been available on DVD for quite some time I’m sure.

5). What is your favourite wedding story?

Gosh, hard one, there’s so many. I think it would have to be from a wedding where the week prior, sadly, the Brides Grandmother passed away. I organised with the Groom to find a round brooch which belonged to her Grandmother and place inside it a photo of her. He had the florist attach it to his Brides bouquet. It was a beautiful and emotional surprise for the Bride, and meant her Grandmother would be close to her on their Wedding day.

Thanks Joanna for sharing with us….and what a beautiful wedding story, how they should be – full of emotion..

Link Love #21: Sydney Wedding Registry

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Well, up until recently it was always Melbourne Wedding Registry, however it looks as though recently that has all changed and here Aasa Neeme tells us more,

‘The Sydney Wedding Registry opened on Oxford Street Bondi Junction in July of this year. It’s the sister company to the successful Melbourne branch which is located in Armadale, Victoria.

The company offers a complete gift registry service to couples who are looking for a more interesting selection of gifts than the department stores can offer. What really makes them stand apart though is good old-fashioned customer service, from staff who know their products inside out. The service is completely free for couples and the user-friendly website allows couples to also create and manage their lists online, if they wish, which makes it perfect for busy couples. Guests can also buy online from anywhere in the world.

The Sydney Wedding Registry showroom is open from Wednesday through Sunday, and welcomes all couples and their guests. Appointments are offered but couples are always welcome to come without an appointment to browse and ask questions.  For more information visit: www.sydneyweddingregistry.com.au

1) What’s your favourite way to relax at the weekend?

Weekends are actually usually spent with our lovely couples showing them around the showroom and helping them put together their wedding lists, but on my days off I like to spend time with my partner cooking a meal together or going to see a film.

2). Favourite restaurant?

Red Squirrel in Coogee is fabulous, almost like having dinner at a friends house and not like a conventional restaurant at all!

3). What book are you reading at the moment?

I’m half way through The Girl who played with fire, I want to finish before I can see the new film!

4). What did you last go and see at the cinema?

We saw the Social Network it was really interesting and beautifully shot.

5). What is your favourite wedding story?

There was a bride I saw a few years back who was having a very large wedding, she was quite stressed and always a bit all over the place when we saw her. Two weeks before the wedding her fiancé called the wedding off, it was awful and I felt terrible for her. But 12 months later she contacted us, and it was like speaking to a totally different girl, she was 3 months pregnant to a man she had only met a few months back…but she was so relaxed and blissfully happy. They had decide to have a very small and intimate wedding with close friends to celebrate their union and joy at bringing a baby into the world…..and I couldn’t help thinking things had definitely worked out for the best :)

Thanks Aasa Neeme, I wish you all the success with the new Sydney venture !

As promised earlier in our sneak peak,

‘My business is Natasja Kremers Photography.  I specialise in a mix of fine art and documentary photography.  I love what I do as I’m a hopeless romantic and I adore documenting love stories.  My studio is located in Subiaco and I photograph mainly in Perth and the South West of Western Australia.’
