Rebecca and Ryan’s Vintage Country Wedding
When vintage bride Rebecca married her beau Ryan at a beautiful country estate, they stayed true to their 1950’s theme, with pretty swing dresses made for dancing, cute pups of honour on ceremony duty and thrift shop finds as reception decor. We’ve fallen in love with every thoughtful detail!
Ultra Violet Wedding Inspiration
Pantone’s colour of the year for 2018 is a decadent purple hue inspired by the night sky, so it’s only fitting that this Ultra Violet, navy and gold wedding inspiration introduces a subtle celestial theme! Edison bulbs glow like stars overhead, illuminating navy linen topped with cosmic clusters of florals and rich gold place settings. Amethyst geodes and agate slices bring us back to earth, featuring in illustrated stationery, intricate cakes and place card favours.

Michelle and Nathan’s Classic Winery Wedding
Michelle and Nathan’s winery wedding is a classically beautiful celebration in an elegant palette of navy and purple. We love their idea of a BBQ lunch with guests the day before the wedding, Michelle’s advice on how to keep the planning as stress-free as possible, and the sweet in-between moments captured on the day – every couple should take a moment to admire their reception setting with champagne in hand before the party kicks off!
