oscar and ruby: February 2012

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

We are so excited and honoured to be featured in the latest issue of Cosmo Bride that is on the shelves as we speak.

This was a shoot we worked on with a great team, down at Roseville Bridge, Sydney.

The shoot that almost didn't happen as it rained, and rained and rained. The day before, the night before and the day of.

Our gorgeous bride Ang, had to have hair and make up done, in the rain.

Our gorgeous table was set up, and then quickly covered up with a tarp due to, more rain.

Poor Mandy with her gorgeous Vera Wang dress was justifiably anxious about the muddy ground.

And our fab crew of models and helpers spent a lot of time standing around waiting for each rain cloud to pass before we could shoot again.

Credit to our amazing photographer, Nadean who managed to somehow come up with the goods despite the un-cooperative weather!

A huge thankyou to all that were involved on the day.

How gorgeous is the FREE printable from the awesome girls over at Wedding Chicks!

Here is a little tutorial on how to sew a cute valentine for your loved one (s)

I have been making these as placecards and it occurred to me that they would make a pretty cute and quick valentine.

Step one: Trace your shape onto some thick card stock

Step two: use a pin to make holes in your design.

* matching the colour of your pin to your embroidery thread is not necessary

It helps to use a piece of foam behind your card stock.

Prevents stabbing yourself or making bends in the card.

Step three: Thread your needle with some embroidery thread

Step four: Sew your design

Step five: Repeat!!

Have fun and happy valentines lovers!!

P.s excuse the white paint on my perfectly shellaced nails.

Got a few projects on the go.......

We are slowly slowly adding some props and pieces for hire to our facebook page.
