  • Villa Botanica, Heaven on Earth?

    Villa Botanica, Heaven on Earth?

    After being ripped from his idyllic tropical home in New Caledonia and sent to boarding school in NSW’s comparatively dreary Southern Highlands, Ralph Hogan sought comfort in his simple daydream: that he would one day meet a princess and build her a castle in which they could both live happily ever after. Of course, he…

  • Win The Party Book

    Win The Party Book

    Be it a wedding or a baby shower, what’s the point of throwing a party if it’s not fabulous and fun, right? The thing is, not all of us are creative or organised enough to throw a basic party, let alone a fabulous and fun one – but we can be – with a little…

  • Just Married cake topper

    Too, too cute! A ‘Just married’ cake topper!

  • Pink maybe coral but beautiful

    Whether you’d call this coral or pink, we love this ruffled delight! It’s simply stunning. Not sure how easy it will be to dance in though, or sit in, for that matter.

    Bahaha! I seriously can’t stop laughing :)) Happy Friday, folks! Erm, how does a picture like this even happen?

  • Five fun (non-boozy) hen’s night alternatives

    Five fun (non-boozy) hen’s night alternatives

    Your hen’s night is supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. It is, after all, your last big outing as a single woman with your gal pals but, depending on just how hard you and your girlfriends celebrate, you may not even remember it. Whether your party days are behind you or you’d just prefer something…

  • How can I involve our children in our religious wedding ceremony?

    How can I involve our children in our religious wedding ceremony?

    Both my partner and I have two children each and all are under the age of eight years. We’re having a religious wedding ceremony and would like to involve them somehow. Any suggestions how we can do this?  It is absolutely wonderful that you and your fiance wish to weave your families together, not only…

    Ohhh, dripping with flowers. How lovely and romantic – as long as you or your partner don’t have any pollen allergies. Aaaachoo!

    For truly fragrant foliage in your wedding bouquet, why not try sprigs of herbs? This simple arrangement contains rosemary and sage (we think!). The best bit? You could even sprinkle some on your meal come dinner time.

  • Details, details….

    Most people wouldn’t even notice a bride’s intricately detailed heel on her big day, but that won’t matter. it’s the little details that make your wedding day special. What little detail will you have on your wedding day that most people won’t even notice or know about, I wonder?

    Looking for something a little different in wedding jewellery? What about this luminous pearled collar necklace from Ann Taylor?It would look stunning with a strapless wedding gown – and you could wear it again!

  • Autumn wedding

    This shot, by Jessica Mae Photography, is fabulously casual but still quite striking. I love the position of the groom’s leg and the way the bride’s hand is just resting on it…

  • Stylish crown for the bride

    A crown of golden flowers and freshwater pearls. Sigh. It looks as romantic as it sounds…

  • Matching shoes and parasols

    White bridesmaids’ dresses are all the rage, but if you want to add pops of colour, why not take a leaf from this bride’s book. Each bridesmaid wears shoes in one colour of the rainbow – and it’s paired with a matching coloured parasol. Great idea…

    We’ve seen this trend cropping up more and more in recent months: Provide guests access to an ipad (or smartphone) and have them leave a video message or video advice for the bridal couple at some stage during the celebrations.  

  • Twin flower girls

    These two absolutely lovely little flower girls make my my heart flutter a little. There really is nothing like a sister, eh?

  • Inflate and save the date…

    This idea for sending out wedding invitations or Save the Dates is sheer genius. Attached a printed balloon onto a basic piece of cardboard and send it to your guests. When they blow it up, they’ll have access to all the important details! Like I said, genius!

  • Make it work, fill the marriage box

    A thought-provoking definition of marriage. Make it work, don’t expect it to work on itself. What do you think? Agree or disagree?

    10 honeymoon spots for couples who love adventure

    Modern newlyweds are a different breed of traveller to their parents and grandparents, which is why it’s not surprising we’re seeing an increasing number of couples opting for honeymoon itineraries that are more  about once-in-a-lifetime experiences and challenges, than endless days locked away in a hotel room or sipping cocktails by the beach. While hotel…

  • Elegance is gray…and pink too

    What a great combo of colours and textures, from the cushioned seat cover to the floral centrepieces and the textured tablecloth.

  • Pink rose balls for the bridesmaids

    How pretty! Pink rose balls for the bridesmaids. Which do you prefer, a rose flower ball or a traditional bouquet?

  • Up, up and away…

  • Dior’s timelessness in a single dress

    ‘Chambord‘ by Christian Dior would make a truly memorable and modern wedding gown, even though it’s from 1954! It’s on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and is a beautiful combination of silk, simulated pearls, beads, sequins, rhinestones and – plastic! Fantastic!

  • Half-dress?

    What a dress, well, half dress? Old world bustles and furbelows meets short, short skirts! Though, I love it in combination with those shoes.

  • DIY Invitation Disaster

    What is the worst thing that can happen when you make your own wedding invitations? You make a mistake, that’s what. And not just any mistake. Nooooo. A monumental mistake.

  • No power? No problem! The wedding MUST go on!

    No power? No problem! The wedding MUST go on!

    Nothing was going to stop Canadian couple Samantha Branton and Nick Collett from marrying last weekend, not even a city-wide power outage, the result of the polar vortex currently freezing its way across North America. Instead, they wed in a dark church and supped on platters of (very) cold food at the reception afterwards. They…

  • Lara Bingle and Sam Worthington married?

    We all know that Aussie model Lara Bingle and her Avatar actor beau Sam Worthington are a couple, but, it seems, they may now be a married couple – at least that’s the impression Bingle’s best friend is giving the Internet. Last night, Bingle’s bestie, Vicki Lee (@VickiLeeLee) posted the picture above with the caption,…

    Mr Ferrell, truer words were never spoken… LOL. “Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with sloooooooooooooooow internet to see who they really are.”

    Truer words were never spoken… LOL.

  • Catherine Middleton – a fairytale dress for a real-life princess

    Catherine Middleton – a fairytale dress for a real-life princess

    When Catherine Middleton married Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, her dress was aptly described as being a fairy tale dress for a real-life princess. The £250,000 piece was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, the iconic British couturier being selected for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its appreciation for traditional workmanship. Catherine’s veil…
