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

Look to nature

I love walking back home in summer with all the trees in our street draping over and glistening in the sun. They do tend to take over but that is part of their beauty as well as their amazing vibrant colours. Feeling inspired I decided to put a colour chart together based on the varying colours for future wedding stationery - so watch out. What better source of inspiration can you have than looking to nature!

Beautiful Photography

Well, I'm very excited today to be able to show you some stunning photography from Shannon Mcdonald. Shannon focuses on family portraits that make you smile. It is one of my regrets that we never organised a professional photographer for our son Dan when he was a newborn. I will certainly have to arrange some soon while he still has gorgeous toddler curls and hasn't turned into a stroppy teenager over night...Shannon! You could use these in any of our gorgeous baby stationery too!

So here is the blurb on Shannon,

Shannon McDonald Photography is based on Shannon's love of people and photography.
Her photography style places a very strong emphasis on the 'natural'. She doesn't put babies in plant pots or tiaras or use artificial studio lighting. Her aim is to bring out your families' individual personalities; your smiles and your relationships with each other.

As a mum, she understands how difficult it can be to simply leave the house at times. So, she can either come to your home, where your child will probably feel most at ease anyway, or you can even travel to a favourite park. Either way, she always uses natural light. She is also more than happy to take time out for breastfeeds, snacking, crying or otherwise. Shannon works around you and your family.

Shannon McDonald Photography adores creating memories for people that will stay in their lives for a lifetime and would love to do that for you.
