Be you Be loved

The amazing creative minds behind Anthropologie & Urban Outfitters launched their latest creation BHLDN yesterday. 

(how appropriate to launch a wedding website on Valentines Day!)

The site is overflowing with beautiful images and will soon provide a mood board tool for brides to compile all their ideas in one spot.

The selection of shoes, accessories, and dresses are so beautiful, and not typically 'bridal'. Definitely worth a look bride or not!

Stamp & Ink

As I wait patiently for my custom made Oscar and Ruby stamp to arrive, thought I'd share these pics.

These stamps are made by Brownpigeon and would be so great to use for a bit of DIY stationery. Grab a couple of ink pads from Spotlight (15 bucks each) and away you go!

P.s Happy Valentines Day! 

I hopped in my car at 6.30am this morning to discover Steve had placed a single red rose on the steering wheel, along with a handwritten card. So sweet. It really is the little things that get to me. Tonight we'll be eating leftovers and watching an old classic b&w movie. As is our Valentines tradition. Can't wait. 

I am baker

Have you visited the blog of I am baker? Amanda is one talented lady. And generous too, as she includes tutorials and step by step guides to help mere baking mortals like myself attempt to recreate her works of art. The heart cake is her variation of the rainbow cake which has been all over the blogosphere, and even I was able to make. Think I'll be leaving this heart one to the experts though!

As fate would have it

I tend to find myself heading out on a lot of 'blind dates' in my job. Meeting clients, wedding pro's and even sometimes awesome twitter and blog friends, where the web world and real world come sliding into one excellent reality. I'm always excited to see which twist of fate brings a connection into my life.

Yesterday I met Marissa, who found me through the ever resourceful Ms Polka of Polkadotbride.

I knew it was fate as she suggested we meet at a super cool cafe called Clipper (have you been? You should, it's on Glebe Point Road and has vintage bikes on the wall).

Marissa is a photographer and runs a studio called The simple things studio, she also collects props (see...fate). And even has a cute little old red fire-engine for kids to play on.

Sun spotlight anyone?

Yup, she makes camera shaped cookies!

Um, excuse me? I NEED to pinch those cheeks! So adorable

Have a lovely weekend.... xj

Mae Mae

Friends of mine just returned from an epic trip to the U.S of A, they had a great time and of course posted numerous awesome pics on Facebook (what did we do before FB? Slide nights?*).

Once my jealousy subsided, I got to thinking how fab a Miami/Art Deco themed wedding would be!

This invite set by Mae Mae Paperie isn't art deco (or even Miami) per se, but those cool colours and palm trees are kind of the vibe I see this theme heading towards.

Megan is one talented designer and stylist! I've posted some more of her work here, and she was recently featured on the Queen of all wedding websites here

*nope. That was our parents. Slide nights, cheese fondue and punch. What an era.

Thankyou for voting

Thank you so much to everyone out there that voted for Oscar and Ruby in The Lane competition!
