Michelle and Wilde

Michelle and Wilde.

What a super cute couple.

Although they live in Sydney, they are both originally from Melbourne, so they organised a private residence in the beautiful Daylesford to play host to their wedding.

We were invited along to set up and style the day for them.

This is one of my favorites (among many!!)

Oscar and Ruby in Cosmo bride!!

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 to sew a paper valentine

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!!

Final wedding for 2011

Just scraping in as the last wedding of 2011 was the Sydney reception dinner for our New York based couple Amy and Josh. 

This event was an absolute joy to work on.

 Not only did we have full reign over the private dining room at Flying Fish, but Amy and Josh asked us to style a bridal shoot for them at Nielsen Park.

Having never met Amy in person, and only ever having 2 phone conversations (and many, many emails)

I was quite anxious to be sure that her vision was bought to life.

Thankfully, it was. (phew!!)

Here is a little behind the scenes video of Aleksandra and I setting up at Flying Fish.

Aleks, as always created the most amazing floral installations for the table, and this time out did herself with a spectacular rain forest like display high above the main dining table.

Hope you all had a fab New Years. 

Here's to a great 2012
