Winter Style Story - Provincial Parisian

Our Provincial Parisian Style Story is all about understated elegance. It's vintage class with a touch of rustic charm. In a colour palette of warm neutrals, white and black we created a table setting, a dessert table with a difference and had our beautiful "bridesmaid" dressed in soft, flowing silk chiffon and warm, luxurious fur (faux of course!). White stock and sweet pea flowers and dramtic white and black anemones completed the design.

Anna and Paul Invitations

We designed with Invite With Style some gorgeous invitations based on a Cheree berry design for Anna and Pauls September wedding. Using a colour palette of red, white and grey we created a logo using a scrawly handwritting with tails extending all the way to the edges of the paper and looping into a heart in the middle. The clear envelopes on the backing card were secured by sewing on red thread into little bows.

Pretty Papers

I have the privilege of working with some amazingly talented Australian wedding invitation designers. They have skills I just wish I had.

Invite with Style

Anna from Invite with Style is just lovely! She did the invitations for one of my September brides and they came out beautifully - post to come with images so you can see for yourselves! She also writes a great blog so go check it out.

Follow Studio

For beautiful minimalist design that is somewhow delightfully warm, you just can't go passed Jessie from Follow Studio. Her designs are soulful and lovely, (and come wrapped in brown paper packaging - one of my favourite things).

Ruby & Scarlett

Based in both New Zealand and Australia, Sarah from Ruby & Scarlett has a range of stunning designs on gorgeous french cotton paper which feels amazing.

Follow Studio Fine Paper Goods

I ordered some gorgeous paper goods from Jessie of Follow Studio the other day and it all arrived today in the most perfect little pack. It was almost heartbreaking to open! Jessie is so talented and if all her paper goods are made with love then I definitely felt some of that today. Please forgive my bad photos!

Polka Dot Cookies and Huetopia Design Unite!

I have always been a huge fan of Polka Dot Cookies and Cakes. The designs are gorgeous and the quality is always exceptional. And the taste! The vanilla bean cookies are so scrumptious they leave you wanting more and more. So when I heard they were creating a range of bonbonniere with Huetopia Design I got a little excited. Well a lot excited. Huetopia specialise in the kind of wedding stationary that is so luxurious it's an event all in itself. The range hasn't been released as yet, however if you email Huetopia they will put you on the list to to be among the first to know when the range is finally unveiled. The range features Polka Dot cookies in tins and boxes with exquisite hand detailing such as embossed wax seals. Pictured above is a little taster of what's to come and below are some of my all time favourite cookie favours from Polka Dot Cookies and a few of my favourite designs and ideas from Huetopia's 2009 range.

That's just the ticket!

I've noticed as i sift through the numerous blogs and sites I scour everyday trying to find new ideas that there is a decided trend for invitations and save the date cards to have a fun fair or concert ticket theme. I love this idea because it is so different and since an invite is a preview to the event the ticket type theme really promises a fun and different kind of day. If that's what you're after than consider some of these clever designs.
