Who could forget those gorgeous electric blue shoes Carrie Bradshaw wore when she became Mrs Big/Preston? Those gorgeous little morsels kicked off a trend of brides having brightly coloured shoes with their white gowns. Electric to pastel, blue shoes to accessories, it’s a two-birds with one stone theme – you will have an abundance of luck with Something Blues aplenty!  //// Main image by Level Eleven Photography 1.   Sapphire Dusk Wedding Garter from Rosebud Lips 2.  Twinkletoes Shoes from Hey Lady 3.  Flower bouquet. Photography by Corbin Gurkin, via Style Me Pretty 4.  Suits and blue ties. Photography by Corbin Gurkin, via Style…

I am reposting this engagement shoot today. 1. Because it’s awesome. 2. Because I’m sure as it was originally posted over a year ago, many of you would not have seen it before and I don’t want you to miss out! Guess what? You don’t actually have to wear matching white singlets and denim to your engagement photo shoot. And, although there are stunningly gorgeous beaches here on the Sunshine Coast, you don’t actually have to have your engagement session at one of them. And you’ll never believe this – every last pic doesn’t actually have to be all lovey-dovey! …

In finding this fun little DIY, I recalled the time my mother diligently collected actual wish bones in the months leading up to my cousin’s wedding. That’s a lot of cooked chook and coleslaw family dinners, my friends! //// It was also a lot of discipline between us kids, because we all usually fought for the privilege of being on one end of the pull-apart with a chance to win that wish. Hey, it was the early 90’s, we didn’t have an iPod Touch to amuse ourselves!  So the plan for these wish bones was to have them cleaned up,…

Tom and Katie wanted their guests to have a lot of fun at their wedding, and what says fun more than lawn games? Croquet and boche and badminton had guests mingling and enjoying themselves at the Yandina Station wedding on the Sunshine Coast. CL Weddings and Events provided the lawn games gear, which was a real hit with all the guests, young and young at heart!  //// The pretty vintage styling included a lot of DIY by the couple and their families, with the rustic country venue lending itself to the theme quite nicely. In fact, Yandina Station is a…

A little birdie will not have any part in the following proclamation. I am out and proud about the fact that… it's my birthday! It's not what you would call an important one. Last year I had a big party for my 30th, so 31 in terms of milestones is nothing on the surface. However, I feel it is somewhat significant for me, because unlike last year with all the glitz and glamour of my fancy roped-off Brisbane nightclub soiree with ballerina cake (a nod to my childhood ballet days), I am accepting of what is occuring. There is no…

These are the cutest thing since sliced white bread made in a Disney’s Thumper-shaped tin, then wrapped in pink edible foil, and painted with a sweet twinkle in his little bunny eye. That’s a thing, right? No? Should be, just sayin’.  //// So, as I was saying, these cutie patootie party hats are super simple to make, and would be perfect for amping up the festivities at your Bridal Shower or Hen’s Night! Forget the penis straws and tacky fuschia veils, get your crepe paper on! You and your bridesmaids could knock a few up for all of your guests,…

There is only a short amount of time left to get your entry in to win the best present ever for your groom. It is a photo shoot with gahmayzing photographer, Jodi McDonald, shot entirely on film, of you in your delicates. A beautiful, tasteful bridal boudoir shoot your new hubby will go gaga for, and you will be thrilled to have in years to come once, let's face it, gravity takes hold. Oh, I know, we all want to believe it won't happen to us, but we're all in the same boat here, ladies!  The prize includes professional hair…

This weekend I am off to old Brisbane town for an event I have waited for all year long! I will be absorbing the knowledge of three of the most popular bloggers in the whole world for two full days at The Blogcademy. I can tell you right now, friends, I am most definitely going to be that geek in the front row, scribbling notes frantically and raising my hand, "Ooh, ooh ooh! Meeee!" every five minutes. Oh, those poor girls.  Just in case you missed it… An intimate Noosa destination wedding for a UK couple at Little Cove A…
