I'm absolutely positively loving the new tourism campaign for Wellington at the moment. So much work must have gone into it creating fabric miniatures of the Wellington region and landmarks. Very clever. Watch the video here.
I've been meaning to design these invitations ever since my very respectable bridal shower - Mystic High Tea at the Observatory Hotel (which I highly recommend, the tea leaf reading was brilliant and spookily accurate). So if you're planning a tea party in any way, these might be just the thing. Available in our online store.
Happy Easter everyone.
Although red is the traditional colour for a Chinese wedding dress, in this case our bride has decided to wear white and have the bridesmaids wear the red. How about this beautiful gown from Rosa Clara 2010 collection which has a slight Asian feel to it, and pockets! Got to love pockets in a wedding dress. Gorgeous model pic from Model Mayhem.
Congratulations to ... oh, anonymous... who has won our little competition to blog about their wedding idea for the month. We loved the idea of a Chinese Australian wedding. Anonymous said:
"My brother is getting married and his bride is originally from Beijing so it will be a Chinese and Australia themed wedding (she is wearing white and the bridesmaids are wearing red). I've been asked to help with the decorations and invites. Any ideas would be great."
So here goes nothing - we've used a colour palette of red and gold that traditionally represents happiness and success in Chinese culture. Chinese lanterns and parasols make perfect decorations. There are many ways origami cranes can be displayed - a tradition for Chinese weddings. Gorgeous little cupcakes in gold painted bird cages, pic via the knot. Fortune cookies to finish off.
colour palette: red, gold
