If you were inspired by our pervious post about button and beaded bouquets, head on over to Offbeat Bride for a fabulous DIY tutorial and have a go at making one yourself!
Using beads, buttons and antique brooches is fast becoming the new trend for bridal bouquets.
Imagine shimmering and sparkling down the aisle with these exquisite designs which are not only unique, but will last a lifetime and become and incredible heirloom to pass on.
When I first saw Collette Dinnigans new bridal collection a few months ago I knew it would fit in perfectly with our magically romantic wedding in the Aussie bush. Called 'snow white' the collection uses a gorgeous mix of dreamy fabrics - tulle, lace and plenty of pretty sequins.
We've been getting a few nice little mentions around the place for 'i do' it yourself at the moment that I want to share. Etsy featured our tie the knot save the date in their weekly newsletter and on their blog. Madeit added our hummingbird invitation to their newsletter, and the Indie Bride featured a few products on their blog. Thanks everyone.
With the temperatures outside hitting record lows, I think it's about time we got really wintry on the blog. But unless your hitting the snow in Perisher on your big day, a winter wedding in Australia isn't really about ice and snow flakes. A quick google of winter weddings and you can see there aren't a lot of ideas out there that don't involve Christmas! So lets see what winter wedding ideas we can come up with that are uniquely Australian. And what's more Aussie than the bush and a gum tree?
This month we're going to take our inspiration from the beautiful ghost gum with its smooth white trunk. A colour palette of soft grey, white and silver for a dreamy and romantic Australian winter wedding.

Lets kick the new month off with some new designs. We've been pretty busy this past week producing some gorgeous new boarding pass invitations, just perfect for destination or travel themed weddings. Shown above is the magically romantic pink travel ticket, and our lovely vintage inspired antique chic design. (I just love the old paper texture effect and the handwritten font on this one.) At $30, the file fits two invites to a standard A4 page for easy at home printing.
