Serious Head Turner

Came across this beautiful little silk tulle gown via a Google.com wedding dress search!

For all you brides-to-be, who know how to party, this would the most perfect rock-star dress ever ~ or perhaps even an inspiration for your second reception dress?

Imagine swishing around the dance floor in this thing - heaven!

The sheer neckline is to die for : }

Monday Swoon - Old Typewriters

Oh how I wish my parents didn't get rid of all their antique possessions from their last move; I would have been the proud owner of one of these beauties!

Typewriting has made a comeback in recent years with many people using them for their uniquely dreamy & pressed block font. They are the perfect addition to any true romantic's stationery collection or even a great wedding/party prop! Leave some plain paper nearby and watch your guests have an absolute ball with fun heartfelt notes & quotes!

Sweet Tunes . . .

Love starting the week with some funky uplifting music! Right now I'm listening to Ingrid Michaelson - a perfect Monday beginning : }

Flower Love

There is nothing more beautiful & ethereal than a handmade flower head piece ~ perhaps one day I will create such beauty of my own and share it with you all! X

Happy Friday followers!

What ever it is that you have planned for your weekend I wanted to leave you with the same feeling I get after my morning coffee { soft + fuzzy + happy }:

"People with many interests live, not only longest, but happiest".

Sinful Sweets

Snapped! It was my Aunt Lauren's 50th Birthday, only a week before our wedding, when you could have found me hiding in the dark corner of a swanky little Brisbane Bistro committing the ultimate pre-wedding crime: total gluttony! Oh what a sin it was, but looking back to that night now I think I tasted the most divine cupcakes known to humanity! Still waiting to meet with my Aunt regarding details of her pastry chef; don't worry followers I will be sure to share :-}

Autumn Colour Inspiration ....

I have to admit, I am a sucker when it comes to all things coloured peach or apricot ~ predicting this Autumn's must have colour!

Focus!

Here are few sneaky images from our recent Engagement Shoot (now married but the shoot took place only just weeks before our wedding)!

Photo Credit goes out to the very talented Sarah from Focus Films Photography!
