Client Wedding - Kate & Brendan - Classic Regency

It's lovely to receive photographs from a clients Wedding Day, so I was particularly excited to receive these photos from Kate & Brendan to end the year on a high note! Kate & Brendan fell in love with mini Moko's Regency Wedding Stationery collection. They were keen to introduce the soft grey of the bridesmaid dresses into the designs and so I developed a classic colour combination with the soft grey offset by a subtle off white colour.


Above: Flowers were by supplied by a very talented friend, Bridal Gown from the Pronovios Collection at Fashions by Farina and imported from Europe, Regency Order of Service Covers by mini Moko, Bridesmaid dresses from Hugs for Brides in Rockdale, the Wedding took place at All Saints' Anglican Church in Hunters Hill and all photography by Darryn Mckay at Mckay Wedding Photography.

Birth Announcements for a Boy

Okay, as promised here is an inspiration board for the little fellas!

These birth announcements were inspired by a trip to the zoo. I think it's always quite nice to introduce some contrasting colour when designing stationery for little boys and girls, otherwise everything gets over dominated with baby blue and pink. In this case I have used orange for my Elephant Family Birth Announcements to the left and Giraffes Birth Announcements to the right, which really helps to add more fun to the designs.

Top left going clockwise: Elephant Family Birth Announcement at mini Moko, Transportation Bib at Design Child, Pull along Helicopter at ekidna kids, Cot Set at Red Plum Linen, Terry Growsuit at PureBaby, Heimess Frog Pram Toy at ekidna kids, Custom Made Names at fudge design, Blue Strp Blanket at Red Plum Linen, Mamas and Papas Barnaby Buttons Chatterbox Bear at ekidna kids.

Birth Announcements for a Girl

I recently designed a new range of birth announcements. When I am designing new stationery, I am always on the look out for willing models. In this case a good friend of mine offered this amazing picture of her daughter Beth when she was a little baby!

To the left is a beautiful soft pink, vintage styled, birth announcement with a contrasting dark chocolate intricate floral frame. To the right a happy pink elephant family parade across the top of the birth announcement, offering an adorable way to share the exciting news of your baby's arrival with your family and friends. Both designs come in other colours including neutral tones too.

Watch out for some birth announcements for little boys in the next few days!!

Update of Facebook Status at the Altar

So, did you see the news the other day?

That's right! Just after the minister announced a couple man and wife, the groom took his phone out and updated his facebook status from 'in a relationship' to 'married' to a round of applause and laughter from the congregation!

I had to chuckle when the minister turned to the congregation after and announced "its official in FACEBOOK and it's now official in MY BOOK!!"

Client Wedding - Janelle and Daniel - Hamilton Island

This week I am thrilled to be able to share with you photographs from Janelle and Daniel's wedding on Hamilton Island. They were a gorgeous couple to work with and I loved every minute of creating their beautiful wedding stationery.
As the wedding was based on Hamilton Island, Janelle was keen to introduce a strong yet simple beach theme into the stationery design. I loved the idea of using a star fish and its striking burnt orange matched the bridesmaid dresses, flowers and men's ties.

Above: Janelles beautiful wedding gown, contrasting burnt orange bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen ties were by Catherine R Couture in East Ivanhoe, Victoria. All jewellery was made by Jeanette Maree in Prahan, Victoria. Flowers were by Starcut Flowers, Mackay, Queensland. Starfish Wedding Invitation an by mini Moko.

We wish Janelle and Daniel all the best for the future xx
