I like this picture best. Every time I’m happy or sad, this is the incredible person I’ve hugged so much, for support. I hope I’ll always be there to hug him too when he needs me!

Thank you Jen for these wonderful photos! Do check out her blog, Anna Rose Photography to see her amazing portfolio.

We also got the rest of our wedding photos, so I shall share some of our favourites in my next post:)

celebration

Gah! It’s finally over and we can go back to our quiet lives! One of the scariest things about getting married is coming dressed up and being conscious about the fact that everyone is looking at you! I really hope that I didn’t look too out of place with my dress choice. Truthfully it was the only white dress that I could afford for our handmade wedding. I dressed it up with a flower headpiece and orange shoes. That’s it!

The night before our wedding was pretty crazy. We spent many long hours at the art gallery setting up the tables and chairs and doing all the decorations by ourselves. I roped in mum to iron all the table cloths and got my friends to fold the paper napkins. Rich also decided that we should have blue bubble bottles instead!

The flowers were a different drama altogether. The florist rang up to say that the flowers we ordered wouldn’t arrive for the wedding so we used what they had left in the shop; orange mokara orchids, red and yellow James story orchids and orange calla lilies. As for the vases, I just made do with what I had lying around my house and in the art gallery. Truth be told, I was starting to think we would never get any rest! By the time I got into bed it was 3am and then the alarm clock woke me up 2 hours later for the wedding!

As it turned out, everything was so fun and the wedding really reflected our personality and our handmade spirit. We didn’t order a wedding cake so we got everyone to bring a home made dessert to sweeten up our day.

We’re just so glad to spend the day with our closest friends and family. I’ll share more pictures once they are ready!

orange shoes

So I said I was going with an orange theme. Well I finally found shoes to get married in. I thought I would never find one in my size (apparently not a lot of people wear orange shoes) but these ballet flats found me.

What do you think?

I hope my parents don’t freak out. But I think if they see this now, they may not get such a shock on the day. Am I right mum? Anyway, it’s all part of the fun!

A kiss for you

You know in primary school if you were seen talking with a boy, all the kids will suddenly sing ‘Helena and Richard sitting under a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G…’

Well I decided to do my own kissing couple, two love birds, completely smitten by each other:) I really had fun colouring these gift tags and I couldn’t help giggling like a kid.

Enjoy using them for your christmas presents this holiday season! They come sealed in a pack here with matching Christmas wreaths and Christmas stockings. Oh joy!

On the topic about birds, I bought this cute owl brooch made by Lauren from Osier. Isn’t he sweet?

I am in love..

Wednesday wishlist

i do

Wow I am the slackest bride. I haven’t planned anything and it’s been a year. I want to keep it small and informal which is another way of me saying, ‘see, no need to plan!’. My wednesday wishlist is obviously wedding related because I have to get my act together. Boo hoo.

Nautical

I do love all things nautical. Which is really funny because one part of me likes the forest and another part of me likes the sea. When I think of the ocean, I think of white washed floorboards, sailor tops and stripes, lobsters and lemons!

For my wednesday wishlist, I am satisfying the ocean in me!

Leanne's scarf

This is mum looking like a supermodel in Leanne’s scarf. I asked her to take some photos so that I could blog about it. I bought mum an earth tone scarf for her birthday, it was hand dyed by Leanne in warm colours like autumn. Apparently mum’s chinese name is autumn moon. Did I get that right mum? Take a peek in Leanne’s shop: Rainbow Revolution her new range is gorgeous!
