Rustic Wedding 2015

Hello My beautiful Brides. Today I am inspired by all things rustic. It is definitely trending this year and is set to be trending for 2015. The wedding season is upon us in Australia.

These are some of the key elements to a rustic wedding.

Mason Jars filled with candles or fairy lights. They look so elegant just hanging in the trees.

Another lighting idea of the wedding table is candles made from trees. I love both of these ideas because they are eco friendly and you can make them yourself.

All this burlap and beautiful spring flowers fit within the rustic theme. Oh and you can't forget a waste coat and contrasting gingham shirt! It may seem casual but in actual fact an look quite smart if done properly.

For the bride- a rustic garter. You can haven customised with a burlap flower or if you have a slim fitting free stick to the plain ivory rustic lace with fastens up in a corset style tiffany blue bow at the back.

How beautiful is all of this lace! You can't go wrong with an off the shoulder lacy wedding dress this season!

How cute is these rustic table of treats. black boards, chalk , tree stumps, burlap- all essentials to your rustic wedding!

I hope you are feeling inspired for your rustic themed wedding!

Do I need a Ring Pillow? New to Natalie Briggs Collection 2014

Hello my beautiful brides/ brides to be! its getting cold here in Perth- the rain keeps pouring and I'm getting a water leak in my house! Not cool! I just hope my sewing room doesn't get flooded again:(

I have been a busy bee today since the weather doesn't want me to go outside and I have finally created a new matching beaded lace ring pillow with removable pearl and rhinestone brooch!

Some of you may not have thought about using a ring pillow- but it makes the cutest accessory for your page boy! if you still not sure head on over to Emmaline Bride Blog for more ring pillow info!

Using matching beaded lace that I use to hand make to vintage lace garter, I have wrapped the lace around the pillow to create a matching set.

I love the brooch in the centre- It really makes a statement on the pillow and will keep you rings safe!

The matching lace can be seen on the Vintage lace garter. This adds a touch of class and sparkle to your bridal lingerie!

Made of the softest double sided satin it is soft to the touch so you can relax on you day!

Available now in my Etsy Shop

One of the most popular wedding colours is Pink. And i can see why! This treasury is made up of Etsy wedding team designs and it is stunning! You will brighten up the wedding day and the whole mood with a bright colour such as hot pink!

Now if your stuck of a theme one of my favourite themes is a garden wedding. I think it is for a more understated wedding with lots of craft and handmade features perfect for an Etsy Wedding!

How to choose your wedding colour theme?

As you are all aware i am a little obsessed with Vera Wang! She just ones up with new fresh ideas for wedding fashion and that is what is trending at the moment! Will you be opting for an alternative wedding dress this season?

After her Black inspired collection, I have recently discovered her beautiful grey toned dresses! Who would have thought you could look like such a Princess in Grey!?

I was so inspired by this dress that I put a little grey treasury together so that your whole wedding colour theme could be grey! If you don't want togo all grey for your wedding what a perfect colour to choose because there i no colour that doesn't go with grey! Especially PINK and Grey!!

Vera had added a soft blush satin bridal Sash to this stunning grey gown and they compliment each other perfectly. The different coloured Wedding dresses are perfect for a second marriage or that alternative wedding because lets face it- we are constantly breaking tradition from where weddings once were!

To finish off todays blog I have found beautiful bridesmaids dresses in grey satin with pink bouquets! I love this colour combo!

And Finally! Why not go for a grey wedding and every other wedding accessory PINK!

Good luck wedding planning!

How Instagram your wedding!

Do you

With technology trending and getting bigger and bigger each day its growing faster than we can keep up with it!

Trending at the moment is using #hashtags and Instagram to share and collect photos of your wedding day!!

Since everyone has smart phones now a days, what a better way to share all of your Wedding photos with everyone! It is also a great way of sharing your Wedding photos without them being plastered all of Facebook and clogging news feeds!!

So heres how:

1. Create a hashtag. This will allow you find your photos on Instagram. Type your hashtag into Google to make sure its not already in use as you want it to be original and easy to remember (short is best). Something like #edwardswedding

2. Have a sign on display that reads something like: “If you Instagram, use hashtag #yourhashtag.” It can be something as simple as a chalkboard sign.

3. Include the hashtag in your wedding program, or give out cards with the hashtag.

4. Have a sign at each table reminding guests about which hashtag to use.

5. Run a slideshow of the Instagram photos at your wedding reception with your hashtag by using the Evenstagram app.

6. After the wedding, remind your guests about the hashtag via social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter etc.)

7. Let your guests see all the photos online post-wedding by creating a slideshow with Statigram.

8. Print your Instagram photos using Printsagram. You can have your photos turned into mini books, calenders or posters. Due to Instagram copyright restrictions, you will not be able to print your guests’ photos. To get around this, simply have your guests email you the original files of the photos that you want to print

Have fun Instagramming!

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!

Photo from www.verawang.com

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!

Photo from www.verawang.com

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!

From this:

To this:

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!
