Stationery Sunday - Abracadabra!

Love it when we come across truely fun, inovative and inspiring invitations. This one, designed by Black Squid was sent out inviting guests to the Bone Growth Foundation fundraising dinner with a magical theme. Brightly coloured silk scarves (made from remnants and ends of rolls - yay! go recycling!) were tied together and pulled from a tube to magically reveal the details of the event at the end... loving the interactive element, what a great way to truely engage guests in the theme in preparation for the event!

Merry Christmas

We hope you had a wonderful day full of food, family and fun! In celebration of Christmas here are images from our SA Life shoot with Sally from Poppies Flowers and Alicia from Akimbo. Enjoy the holidays and have a Happy New Year!

Merci Madame

Head to Atypical Type A and check out the amazing new letterpress stationery line Alicia has developed for Akimbo... LOVE love love it! & we can't wait to see the cake buffet for more of these divine doily cookies! So in love with these doily cookies, & love how you carried through the palette you used in the invites into the food styling - Awesome work A!

hey mister mister

With more men showing an interest in the details and ambience of their events these days we thought we'd share some styling and detail inspiration that has caught our eyes of late more than suitable for nearly any mister mister in our lives...

Check out Akimbo.com.au for the fab beer inspired invite, LetterboxCo. for the kraft swingtags & numbered amber bottles, The Style Files for the cookware, and Head vs Heart for the Honey brew labels... loving all the golden, earthy & masculine tones.

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

Green and Natural, beautiful

Loving these invites by Alyson behind the Unruly Things Blog... Check out the rest of her wedding here!

Ashliegh and James' Save The Dates

Ashleigh and James are this incredible and relaxed couple who have decided to take on Mary&Gabrielle to design and coordinate their wedding in March. We are extremely excited to be such a big part of what will be an amazing day in the sun of the beautiful botanic gardens. Mary and I have been putting our heads together and have come up with some fun ideas that will truly reflect the couple and the feel of what they envision their day to be. Here are their Save the Date cards we did just under a month ago and we cant wait to carry on this theme through to the rest of the stationery and through to the details in their wedding. Stay tuned, this will be one wedding you wont be able to look past!

Sorry for the poor images, we will eventually have some professional photos of all the stationery.

Loving...

French Company Milk & Paper...
lovely little bits and pieces to give your event a truely unique touch.

Stationery Sunday... DIY longweekend

We LOVE this DIY project from Once Wed here ... what an absolutely gorgeous way to thank your bridesmaids!

Pretty Pretty things

I got so excited when I came across these invites by Erica from Thoughtful Day for Jenna and Jon. They are so fun and colourful and set the tone perfectly for the wedding day which you must check out here. That is something Mary and I feel strongly about with invitations, they are the first bit of the wedding your guests will see and it is so nice to get an invite that teases you a little about what the wedding will be like and also its nice to get an invite and think, 'this is so them'!

Stationery Sunday - Thank You Cards

Gabrielle's thank you cards came up a treat! For their wedding they had a photo booth set up and got a couple of sneaky photos of them for their thank you cards. We printed out the photos with a matt finish and mounted them to 1mm card and tied them with twine to link back to the invitations and other stationery from the wedding.

Stationery Sunday - The Dingbat's Agenda

We are looking at doing our own business cards at the moment and we have a few ideas in the works. So we thought it would be fitting to have a look at these gorgeous business cards by Adrienne over at The Dingbat's Agenda for today's stationery Sunday.

Stationery Sunday - Oh Hello Friend

Danni from Oh Hello Friend, a little while ago did a great DIY guest blog post over at 100 Layer Cake for these dainty vintage Save the Date Cards. Make sure you head over there and check it out!

Stationery Sunday - Simplesong

One of the blogs we love is that of letterpress designer and printer Suaan Song. Simplesong is a gorgeous blog of great everyday inspiration and some amazing examples of her stationery work. Here are some of our favourites from Simplesong's etsy shop.
