OOT Boxes vs Bags

We have been planning on using decorated white gabel boxes for our OOT boxes

But I have just found coloured and wedding canvas toes that are really sweet and now I don’t know which to pick???

Or perhaps I should just stick to plan paper bags?

Decisions decisions .......

The hunt is over....and the winner is.............

Our search for the perfect photographer is FINALLY over!

We took a trip to Avoca today to meet with Julie Delisser from Delisser photography. After a few wrong turns and the very very scenic route we arrived. As soon as we walked through the door she made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We talked for a while and explained what we wanted & looked through her amazing photos. Needless to say we absolutely loved her, she is fabulous and her photos are awesome.

 We knew she was exactly what we had been looking for and signed her on the spot! I am actually really excited about our engagement shoot now, it was the one thing I had been dreading and now I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Disney's Couture Collection by David Tutera

We are almost at the point where we will be allowed to sign on the dotted line with WDW.  Sure, it's still a few months away (as you have to wait until the eight month mark before signing contracts), but the signing date is in sight and that is when all our researching turns to planning!  

 

We have been looking at a couple ceremonies & reading up on all the different options for months and months. And I have come to love the David Tutera Collection.

 

This basically leaves minimal work for us after we select the theme collection we want, as everything within each collection has been pre-selected, including the locations, centerpieces, linens and flowers the type of event you selected.

 

Then we get to turn up like guests at our own wedding, knowing exactly what everything will look like and that everything has been taken care of.

You can choose between the following four themes;

Classic Elegance -- a traditional, romantic setting that marries gold and pink and features an abundance of crystal chandeliers and numerous gilded mirrors to create the ultimate formal wedding.

 

Cocktail Soiree -- chocolate browns and ice blues come together with chic lounge-style furniture and an illuminated bar to create a hip and contemporary party environment. 

Enchanted Garden -- soft, springtime palettes of yellow and green create a fanciful floral garden setting amidst topiaries and butterflies in flight.

 

 

Simply Chic -- clean contemporary lines, suspended white lanterns and the use of Lucite and glass in a pure white party space with green accents create a fresh take on a modern look.

 

 

I love all the themes, if we end up with enough guests for a wishes wedding, it will be difficult to choose just one !

DIY Project ~ Slipper Basket

Our slippers have arrived! I ordered a carton of mesh slippers (the round toe ones) and I’m going to put them in an organza bag with a tag showing the size

 

This is a must project,  as not only are we a particularly uncoordinated group but our dance floor is on an outside, uneven wooden deck (with big gaps between the planks). So to be able to dance the night away comfortably & with no injuries we are going to need to change into flats.

 

So this weekend’s DIY project ..... Slipper Basket !! 

 

 

DIY Project - Save The Weekend Part 2

We decided that we wanted our bridal party to receive their “Save the Weekend” cards in style, after all first impressions count!

So we packaged them up in silver & pink boxes together with a mini bottle of “Pink Blush” champagne from Peterson’s Champagne House.

DIY Project - Save The Dates (well actually weekend!)

With the help of my MOH we finished our Hunter Valley Save the Weekend cards yesterday !

I finally worked the design so I was able to use our colours, logo and the gorgeous paper & brads we found on our Melbourne trip.

With a small magnet on the back and a piece of sage ribbon tided around them, they are ready to be mailed out !
