Choosing your wedding Dress, Celebrity Dresses and all things Vera Wang!...

I have been memorised recently by the designs of Vera Wang. Everyone knows her as brilliant designer but she is also one of the most chosen designers by celebrities for her brilliant craftsmanship for wedding dresses!

There is a Vera Wang Wedding dress store in Sydney which I would definitely make at trip for just to have a look at her dresses! I love how she has a whole range that are red, cream and black not just the conventionally white dress!! BLACK! Who would think to wear a Black dress on their wedding day! But I have seen photos and the bride just looks stunning!! What do you think?

I think that is is great to continue with traditions in weddings otherwise where would NB Garters stand?:) ...but vera' s revolutionised wedding dresses and taken them to the next level!

By using such delicate materials of organza, tulle, silk and lace these dresses will transform your wedding day!

I think it is so wonderful how Vera can design your dress. She puts so much love and care into each and every design. She is so unique as a designer  i have fallen in love with her!

I think that this is absolutely stunning! 

Vera is so popular with celebrities at the moment too! Hillary Duff wears a Vera Wang Mermaid dress which transforms her in to a princess! She looks so grown up with her hair up too!:) This dress i great for slim or curvy girls. I just love how the vintage style mermaid dress is fitted down to her thigh I think it is so sexy! 


Kim Kardashian also chose Vera Wang for her wedding! She looks like PRINCESS! She didn't just have one dress! Kim wore 3 different Wang dresses on her big day!:) A great idea if you can't choose which dress to wear!

I wish we could all have a  Vera Wang Wedding dress!:-)

Personalised, Edible and Budget Wedding Favours

Being a Wedding Photography gives you great insight into ideas for Weddings. There are so many elements to a Wedding no wonder it takes over a year to organise! You have everything organised from your flowers to even your Bridal Garter but what about your guests? One of the smaller but important elements to a Wedding are Wedding favours for your guests. They have become more of a necessity for some brides but I think they are more of a personal thank you  from you and your husband for your guests to take away with them. Here are some of my favourite Wedding favours the have featured in some of my Weddings.


These are a home made jam and relish made by the brides grand-mother. I think it is a really thoughtful and personal gift from the couple and it really reflected the vintage theme to their Wedding. By far my favourite idea! So personal but also great to stay within your Wedding Budget!

jam, wedding, favour

Another awesome idea for a Wedding is personalised Roc candy! Not only do your guests go away with lollies to eat, it is also personalised with you and your husbands/ wifes name! They make the perfect Wedding Favour. This hand crafted candy is crafted to your own design and choice of flavours, wedding bonbonierre is personalised and fun for your guests!

You may have noticed a running theme with these featured wedding favours so far... well I did! They are all personalised with the bride and grooms name but they are also all edible! I found a couple more edible wedding favours as featured in La Belle Bride.


These DIY Edible Wedding Favours make for the perfect gift to your guests... and who doesn't love chocolate! Edible gifts can also be packaged in any way to suit the theme of your wedding! Bonus!


As featured in The Knot this bonbonniere is handmade and personalised for your guests. At the end of the day chocolate is always going to be a winner!:-)
