Summer Sessions - a Hawaiian Luau

Last weekend Gabrielle's sister in law turned 30 and to celebrate she put on a Hawaiian Luau. It was a hot 36 degrees and everyone had a lovely time relaxing in the sun, drinking Coronas while watching their kids have water fights with one another. It was the perfect summers day and to wish Erin a happy birthday, we set up a Hawaiian themed photo booth.

Foodie Friday - Australia Day Super Styling

Check out these amazing images by Katie of 'What Katie Ate' for 'Real Living' Magazine that we discovered while searching for inspiration for this years Australia Day celebrations. Loving the way the food styling has given a nod to the green and gold, and completely adore the decorative and floral elements that have been incorporated, fun & unique but refined - love it!

one year on - delighting in the details

As promised last week, here's a little indulgence (mostly on the part of M hehe!) Appropriately timed of course as Mary celebrates her first wedding anniversary with H... it was lovely to smile over these details again, the year has gone so quickly!

One truth every couple discovers is how quickly the wedding day goes & no doubt one of the pieces of advice any couple gets is to just take it all in as much as possible and enjoy every moment, and from our experience this couldn't be more true. For those walking, stepping, running, jumping or dancing down the aisle anytime in the future, make sure that you set aside several occassions, they only have to be 5 minutes here or there, throughout the day where you can take a quiet moment just to yourself and with your new mr or mrs, these will more than likely be some of the most memorable and imporant minutes you have on the day. Brett Hartwig of Allpics captured these wonderful little moments between Mary & Hamish just over a year ago nearly to the day, & Mary has loved looking back over her fave b&w's (here) too, that portray the casual elegance and joy of the day perfectly.

Foodie Friday - French Macaroons....

Tomorrow is my first year wedding anniversary, and it got me thinking about all the fabulous experiences I shared with my husband on our honeymoon (here)... One of my favourite memories is enjoying the most delicious authentically french macaroons from LADUREE in Paris so I thought I'd share just a few of the pics I took of these amazing treats... Oooohhhhhh! they were so light and melty and the flavours were to die for... they really did taste as good as they look & would be the perfect addition to any dessert banquet or buffet!

If you want to try some of these amazing treats more locally, Callum (from Australia's masterchef) sells a line of them at Providore in the Adelaide Central Markets, & the amazing From Scratch Patisserie is most definitely worth a visit at the Adelaide Farmers Market at Wayville... definitely definitely worth it!

Happy weekend! M

For those who will Travel

We have followed the blog of KC and Sarah Giessen for a while now and it was very exciting to see Style Me Pretty had featured Sarah's latest amazing wedding invitations. You really must go here and see them and watch the gorgeous video of Sarah making the invites.

The lovely photos of the couple were done by one of our favourite photographers Kyle Hale and the other images were taken by KC Giessen

Oh So Lovely!

Fabulous photographer Jill Thomas captured these gorgeous images of a first anniversary dinner party arranged by amorology weddings in a orange grove in California. We know there are plenty of orchards here in Australia where this could be translated just as effectively, or even set up just in your own back yard under the canopy of your favourite tree. This setting captures our love of texture, layering and eclecticism... L O V E!

Sunshiney Daze

M was require to spend the weekend at the Gold Coast for work... oh darn! so we couldn't help but share these sunny images to help share the joy and beachy goodness!

Sharon Montrose is a fabulous! In fact fabulous isn't a word that justifies the talent and wit that goes into these gorgeous and lovable images! Make sure you check out the Animal Print shop or her Etsy shop, you will spend hours flicking through all the cute photos trying to figure out which one's you want to get if not all of them!
