We were inspired to create this months NYC theme because of two very beautiful weddings, both antipodeans who choose to escape to New York. Today we're going to share the first - Marney and Travis.
Planning their big day all the way from Australia, the couple tied the knot in Central Park watched by close family and friends.
Of course travelling by yellow cab back to the fabulous little outdoor reception with city views. Thanks to New York based photographer, Benj Haisch for his stunning photos. Doesn't it make you want to take a bite out of the big apple for your big day?
I've been very busy the last couple of months, renovating and designing and getting ready for an exhibition in August. Once Upon a Time is a group exhibition held The Art & Design Precinct, 10 Bailey St, West End, Brisbane from the 16th to 26th August.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the work I've been creating for it. I've been focusing on the enchanted forest as my theme:
You cant have a New York City themed wedding without a yellow cab in there somewhere, so how about taxi cab cookies!? YUM. This delicious example is from My Kitchen Addiction.
A car shaped cookie cutter will make the job a lot easier, you can even buy taxi shaped ones, CoperGifts.com has a great selection of NYC themed cutters. Then some black and yellow icing and a steady hand.
If thats a bit out of your league, black and white cookies are a New York favourite - and a lot less fiddly. Check out the recipe here.
How awesome would it be to make your very own city lights skyline? This very clever idea is from Sweet Paul. All you need is some city photos printed out onto card paper or try vellum. Just wrap them around your votive candle holders and cut some windows out to let the light shine through. Cute!
Something sweet to kick things off. Here are a few of our favourite cake finds inspired by the city that never sleeps.

A few great features to start the month off with - 'I do' it yourself'sVicorian Photo Booth Sign was seen in the beautiful second issue of Hello May bridal magazine.
And we were in Cosmopolitan Bride again in their winter issue, with our Entwined Fingerprint Guest Book Tree shown at Millie and Adam's beautiful wedding. If you'd like to see more finished pieces from 'i do' it yourself visit our facebook pages customer photo gallery.
This month on the blog we're heading to New York City with a sophisticated and vibrant urban wedding theme. Hail a cab, jump on the subway but make sure your a city hall on time!
