I've Done It Again...

Oh sigh, I've been a bad, bad blogger of late! I promised myself that as soon as I returned from hiatus I would resume my blogging schedule but, alas, that has not happened. I wish I could give a good reason, and I suppose if I used the old noggin I could come up with a plausible story, but I'm not even going to insult you by trying. I've simply been busy and lazy - a terrible combination!

The Shangri-La Matric dance is now only 8 days away, and it's crunch time! Just as soon as I think I have everything I need, I run out of printer ink! So off I go to buy more, only to discover a mere four hours later that I somehow have miscalculated / misplaced a pack of paper - so off I go to buy more! Up and down and on and on it goes!

This is one ridiculously busy month for me, so I solemnly swear that as soon as November rolls around I'll be back to my usual posting schedule! I hope!

But just in case that turns out to be a lie, here's an awesome picture of ninjas to keep you company!

FABULOUS!

Until next time!

Peace and Love!

{Video} Tamlyn & Rodney Teaser Trailer

While on hiatus, it occurred to me that I had never shared our wedding video teaser trailer!! I've wanted to share this for a while to showcase an amazing talent! It looks phenomenal! Elsa from Mona Lisa Productions did an amazing job of making us all look like rock stars! Hope you enjoy!

{Inspiration} Deep Purple

Since I was a child I've been in love with deep purple! It is a colour filled with richness and mystery, a perfectly regal colour fit for any occasion! Here I've combined it with a hint of silvery hues, creamy white and basic black to compliment the deep complexity of the colour. Keep it unfussy!  I'm really enjoying the trend brides are following of wearing coloured shoes with their gowns, keeping it fun, so it's no surprise then that I adore these purple satin peep-toes! The same can be said for this twist on the traditional bridal garter - how gorgeous is this creation!? To round off this look, deck the tables with exquisite purple, crystal-cut glasses, Tiffany chairs and masses of Picasso calla lilies. Seldom have I seen a more beautiful flower, or one so well-suited to this look! And how stunning are these plywood Picasso calla wedding invitations? I love a twist on the traditional, and these are perfect while still maintaining the level of class you'd expect to accompany this colour. I'm in love!

Spring Bouquet Inspiration!

Now that spring is here to stay and wedding season is firmly upon us, I thought I'd share some spring wedding bouquet inspiration to get those creative juices flowing! Any bride would be lucky to be carrying one of these beautiful bouquets down the aisle to the man of their dreams! Keeping colours bright and cheerful, and textures soft and feminine, I've chosen ten bouquets that will blow you away! Feast with your eyes!

And I'm Back!
