ENGAGEMENT INVITATIONS

Shane and I got engaged early 2013 and finally got around to organising the party later In the year.

I was so excited to design our invites, however as much as I tried to convince Shane neon pink would be awesome he wouldn't allow it all over! A lot of people don't realise, but printing neon inks, white or metallic foils is an extra charge at the printers and bumps up your printing costs a lot more.

I didn't want to splurge too much for our engagement but still desperately wanted to add a touch of neon. I did this by creating a custom stamp and finding a neon ink pad online, and just to tie it all in (pun intended) I wrapped it up with a pink cord. I created the instagram tags myself using a stanley knife, brown kraft reinforcement rings and a single hole punch. 

Next up are the save the dates I suppose! xx

KIM & AARON

I was so stoked when Kim asked me to document her wedding with my camera!

With her background in organising amazing events (her 18th birthday party was unforgettable!)

I knew this was going to be one to remember. Everything was a dream, down to the finest details -

the all white dessert bar, flower arrangements, chandeliers, KA candle bonbonniere's

and lets not forget the drinks bar - Aaron the groom made it himself! 

Their daughter Amani was one of the adorable flower girls and their

son Aston enjoyed the day with a nap, waking up just in time for a dance.

Also... how amazing were the fireworks they organised?!

YIOTA & GEORGE'S WEDDING INVITES

I was lucky enough to help Yiota and George design their wedding invites. With them both being from greek families - you can imagine the extravagant wedding that was planned! As the wedding has just been, I thought it was a good time to show you all the invites (don't want any wedding crashers!) 

In keeping with tradition of an elaborate greek invite, Yiota wanted to take a fresh, contemporary approach. She had a theme of bird cages, light hues and sweet touches planned for her wedding and wanted to incorporate the doily detail into the invite. I loved being apart of the design for these invites because I personally love Yiots style and ideas. Thank god George was so trusting in us and let us take the reins - otherwise they would have ended up with mini tv screens from China! (Sorry George haha!)

Island Hour Lookbook

Waking up at 4am on a chilly winters morning was totally worth it for this shoot! We set up on the beach at first light and were ready to go as the sun was rising. Poor Mimi was chilled to the bone modelling just bikinis and summer outfits.

The peacock chair was the main inspiration behind the shoot - I fell in love with them a while ago and had been trawling the internet / garage sales and second hand stores for weeks trying to find one. I was lucky enough to find this one on Gumtree two suburbs away from my house in perfect condition! It was brought to Australia from London in the 1960s and holds pole position in my living room now!
The teepee was put together after a quick trip to Spotlight, just a few scrap white pieces of material and some curtain rods!

The amazing ankle cuffs are from Brisbane store Haute Boheme, and you might even notice a familiar turquoise Koleha necklace in some of the pics! This shoot also featured my pastel chevron print that has been used on the maxi skirt. All other pieces are available at saboskirt.com xx
