{Mint} Inspiration Board

Kelly — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:13:09 +0000

One wedding trend we’ve noticed for the new year is Mint! It would be great to include in your colour palette for a vintage-themed wedding. We think it looks especially sweet paired up with blush or gold, what do you think?

A Touch of Vintage

Nicky — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:18:22 +0000

One of my favourite wedding trends is the vintage theme. There are so many different elements that you can incorporate into your wedding from small details like cuff links to signature pieces such as a vintage typewriter instead of a traditional guest book.

I was inspired by a lovely couple I worked with who recently got married to do this blog post. They were looking for vintage telegram inspired invitations for their wedding and we absolutely loved the concept so I’ve put together some beautiful images found via Pinterest to inspire you!

Remember that details count and can make for that perfect day!

Somewhere Over the Rainbow♥

Nicky — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:51:49 +0000

If there’s one thing that people know about me it’s that I ♥♥♥LOVE♥♥♥ colour! You can see it in the work that we (my husband and I) do and we are not afraid to be bold and stand out. I’ve heard mixed reviews on rainbow inspired weddings although I think when done right they can be really beautiful. Why are people so afraid of colour?

Here are some gorgeous rainbow wedding ideas found via Pinterest for you to have a look at, get those COLOUR wheels turning!!!

Behind The Scenes – All For One Styled Shoot

Nicky — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:57:31 +0000

We were thrilled to be a part of this photoshoot back in January! With it’s ‘All for One’ theme it revolved around three grooms dueling over one lucky bride! However our speaking part didn’t make the cut as we couldn’t be heard (room was too loud) which I’m quite happy about because I don’t particularly like to hear myself speak!

Anyways I hope you enjoy watching this gorgeous video of our styled shoot, please source the other vendors underneath and be sure to check out the actual wedluxe style file here.

Flash Mob Proposal♥

Nicky — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 19:28:08 +0000

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!

I’m sure there will be many couples getting engaged today as it is the perfect holiday in which to do so! Today I’m sharing with you one of my favourite engagement videos where the groom surprises his bride-to-be with a flash mob. You can’t help but cry it’s so amazing!

The question is, how would you feel if your significant other did this to you? Personally I think I would be in utter shock and may want to disappear lol! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
