can I just have this whole wedding??

Add a little lavender in the mix, and I'm a happy lady! This wedding is just stunning...*swoon* And I LOVE the bridesmaid dress...ahhh...pretty....


Take a look at the whole wedding, here!

save the dates

Along with our engagement invites, I have been making our Save the Dates. Save the Dates don't seem to be a big thing here in Australia, unless you are having a wedding overseas and need to give a decent amount of notice for planning reasons. But since there are a number of people getting married around the same time as us, who run in the same circles (or family!), we decided to include a Save The Date for those invited to the wedding, with their engagement invite. I'm also going to make sure that none of our wedding related things, conflict with anyone else's wedding related things - I don't want to have to put our guests in that position and I want to make sure that each of the other ladies is Queen of her own day and events as well :)

So I was looking at a lot of Save The Dates along with invites to get some ideas. I managed to find one that I loved (and have since created, minus the picture) but these are a few of the ones I saved because I thought they were cute. I seem to really like the carnival-style ones!!! I guess because I would want something more formal for our wedding invites, I liked the idea of something a little more fun for our engagement invites and our STD! The first one is from The Wedding Chicks and I love it, it's very cute...I was very tempted by it...

engagement invites!

Well, since we have now got a set date for our engagement party, I suppose I should start focusing on that, instead of the wedding...and least for a little while! I have actually been playing around with invites for some time now and have made a few different ones. It's a lot of fun! I'm not going to post our actual invite until it's sent out (and it's not quite finished yet) but I thought I would show you a few samples I looked at for ideas, as well as a couple I played around with.

First up, the ones I was looking at before I started playing around on Photoshop - to get an idea! I was looking for styles that would be easy to create myself, but still elegant and these were a few of the ones I saved...(apologies because I haven't saved sources for a few. if you are aware of any, please contact me!)

This is one I played around with on Wedding Chicks:


And finally...two I made myself. The date has changed so it doesn't really matter one the Birdie one. It's more to show you how the writing would have continued! There was actually another one that I made first, and I can't seem to find it. If I do I'll post it :)




Edit: (09/05/2011) FOUND IT!


Like I said, after the invites have been sent, I'll post what we decide to send out. Next post - Save The Dates!
