Popular Pineapples

Pineapples are EVERYWHERE at the moment - home wares, fashion, stationery - you name it, it probably exists somewhere with a pineapple on it.

And weddings are no exception, with this tropical fruit making a refreshing entrance in quirky beachside weddings.

Nail Art - Wedding Nails

Nail art continues to take the world by storm and brides are getting a bit more creative when it comes to their wedding nails. No longer content with the typical french mani, swarovski crystals, glitter and teeny tiny painted flowers are being used to create some very lovely designer digits.

Watercolour love

How enchanting is watercolour? The slight hint of colour, building up and overlapping with more colour to create dreamy, translucent layers of subtle softness. Romantic and a little bit whimsical, watercolour is perfect for any pretty pastel wedding.

The Non-book Guest Book

The traditional guest book, with it's gold foil edges and neat little lines, will always have a place at weddings, but sadly not really a place in our homes. Banished to a bookcase or in a dark drawer they rarely see the light of day, after the day itself is over. Which is why I love the clever alternatives that put  the well wishes of your wedding guests on permanent display. Whether framed upon a wall, on a custom made love seat or on a quilt destined to become a family heirloom, these are constant reminders of your special day and the special people that helped celebrate it.

Navy and Fuchsia

Classic Navy Blue and bright Fuchsia are the hottest couple in town right now. Sophistication meets sassiness in this show-stopping combination that will have your wedding stand out from the crowd.

The prettiest dresses in the world

I thought my first Weddinsday post after my (absolutely amazing!!) trip should be something pretty special. And special is definitely a word I would use to describe these spectacular gowns. Along with exquisite, captivating, stunning and divine. If you are not familiar with the graceful designs of Anna Campbell, you really should be. Each dress, made by hand in Melbourne, is a vintage inspired love affair of dreamy silk, delicate lace and intricate beading. Basically the type of dress that makes me want to get married all over again.

Minimoons

Today's Weddinsday will be the last for a while as I am about to take off to South America for our delayed honeymoon! Trekking through Machu Picchu isn't exactly the romantic beachside escape most newlyweds go for, but we already had a mini version of that in Noosa right after the wedding, which brings us to todays post of 'Minimoons'.

Weddings are hard work. So much organisation and planning goes into the day that it is often hard to look beyond the day itself. And if, like us, you are wanting an epic honeymoon on the other side of the world, it is almost impossible to plan both at the same time. Minimoons are the perfect solution. An easy, local escape long enough to let you unwind after the wedding crazy, but not so long that it uses up all your annual leave.

Até mais!
