Wedding deliveries

I have had a few wedding related deliveries this past week.. I have also had a few comments from people about how organised I am in planning the wedding well ahead of time - I swear planning is my middle name

 - A is not surprised at all.

So what did I receive?

My shoes arrived from netaporter, packed so sweetly....

Unfortunately they are toooo small. They are a size 40 and fit my girl who is usually a 37/38. Back to the shoe searching I continue...

Any suggestions are more than welcome!!

I also received my garters from NanaRoseDesigns - one throw away and one keepsake.

They were such a good price at only $27USD for both.

The pink is a little darker than I expected, but I love them nonetheless. There was also some "Hollywood tape" in the bag to ensure the garter doesn't slip - if I continue to lose weight this will be very important!

I also received some sample invites from Ink and Love.

I previously thought that I had decided what style I would like and it would be like this one I posted, but then I laid my eyes on these beautiful lace beauties...

They are all around the $5mark, which I don't think is too bad at all.

Mum, I and Zoe from Big Apple Red are currently playing around with the idea of using black lace throughout the styling and these invitations will go perfectly. I love the glamour black lace can bring to an event.

What do you think of black lace styling? Have you been to a wedding with it or seen any inspirational photos along that theme? I need all the help I can get!!!

On the topic of all things wedding.... my makeup artist (trial next Saturday eeeep!) Susie Ayoub has been posting many "before and afte"r shots on her Facebook recently..

I think they look great and really showcase her talent!

I looove this look above!

 I can't wait for my own transformation next week!!

You're invited...

We have finally received our engagement party invites and sent them out…. HURRAHHHHHHHHHH!!! We wanted something really fun, not formal (or mini wedding like ehehe), different and totally us and with the help of my BIL and his wife, I believe we have achieved it! Rockin' it  ol' school style, with the retro photobooth strip…

"We are Engaged"

It was so much fun taking all these silly photos.

Anyone who knows A and I, knows this is very much us. We had a few printing dilemmas at the start, but the wonderful people at Dashing Print in North Sydney quickly sorted out our problems and had the new and improved, perfect invites couriered to us promptly.

Now I think the excitement has really kicked in and I am ready to begin looking for shoes and other fun accessories =)

What do you guys think of the invite???
