I'm super excited to show these photos from a joint effort with Daniel from Keepsake Photography!! If you are a bride planning a beach or nautical wedding day then this photo shoot collaboration is just for you! It took place at Mollymook and has both a rustic and timeless feel to it, keeping the lovely bright florals as the main part of the theme. Often couples can get carried away with choosing typical 'nautical' items for their beach wedding, and they forget that they can include some of the more feminine details. This photo shoot proves that you can combine both beautifully!

Lilygrace Flowers created the floral arrangements and Style My Aisle took care fo teh styling for the photo shoot as well as the Teepee and rustic table. The makeup was by Sophie Rogers Makeup Artist and Percy Handmade let us use some of their gorgeous gowns and hair pieces. To finish it up we used some of our own Sail and Swan product to tie the theme together. Our relaxed, rustic and feminine style matched perfectly!

A massive thanks goes to everyone for taking part, and especially to Daniel for inviting Sail and Swan to be part of the project!

Happy 2015 everyone! I have been away on holidays over Christmas and there’s so much to catch up on. Thanks to everyone who was at the Glen Ewin Bridal Fair over the weekend – I will be sharing more about this soon! For now I thought I’d share some photos from my travel to Bali. It was my first time there and I would highly recommend it if you’ve never been! Below are some highlights from the trip – walking through the beautiful rice paddies and climbing a volcano. The views were absolutely stunning at the top of the volcano as we were above the clouds. For a relatively small island there was a lot to do in Bali, but we also spent a lot of time resting and relaxing in the pool. I’ve come back refreshed which is just what I needed and I can’t wait to get stuck into this year!

This week I thought I'd make a feature of these Stylish Wedding Invitations. They are from our Classic theme. What exactly is 'classic' I hear you say? To me, something classic is something that is timeless. It won't go out of style or age easily. It is simple, elegant and can fit in easily with what is around it. Deciding to have a classic wedding theme could be one the best decisions you make!

So here is some info about these gorgeous invitations which are just are too lovely!

They feature a sophisticated and elegant design, with simple text and clean lines. The design also features two fonts; each font has a slightly different feel and balances the other perfectly. These classic wedding invitations also feature a timeless colour scheme - soft grey and a lovely gold. These fairly neutral colours are understated and stylish, and can match any wedding theme well! However if you would prefer to use different colours, the theme can be adapted to use any specific colours you would like!

If you are planning a classic wedding, then we'd recommend checking out 'The Knot' which will provide you with some great tips and ideas!

Who doesn't love a design based on old love letters and romance? This collection of floral vintage wedding stationery does just that! Originally flicking through an old and worn out vintage book, I thought to myself that the old and beautiful pages were too lovely to leave on the shelf. Don't get me wrong, I love new designs and the constant trends and inspiration that surround me everyday! But there is also something so special about an item that shows its age; the imperfections marking its use and frequent handling over the years, hand scribbled notes here and there, and - if you're lucky enough - names and dates. Books like these not only reveal a story within their written content from page to page, but also in their imperfections and flaws.

When it comes to weddings it got me thinking that each couple has their own story too, and when they choose the details of their wedding they are choosing something that, in a small way, tells and compliments their personal story. So I came up with this design 'Love Letters', a set of floral vintage wedding stationery. It features all the elements we have been discussing above - the lovely aged paper, romance and sense of story, with a hand written style font. The modern look to the font contrasts with the vintage flowers and roses, tying the entirely old fashioned theme into something a bit more contemporary and up to date. It is almost a modern day love letter if you like. The warm and rich tones of the old paper are set within the vibrant pinks, oranges and yellows of the vintage florals, finishing this design off with some intricate yet eye catching details.

I thought I'd share my latest photos with you of these charming handwritten calligraphy envelopes. They feature my personal calligraphy style which has a modern twist to it, with a flowy cursive feel. It has both a relaxed and beautiful feel to it, and suits the Sail and Swan Wedding Stationery range perfectly! These charming handwritten calligraphy envelopes will add a beautiful touch to your wedding day and surprise your guests upon their arrival in the mail.
