The Brisbane Arcade Bridal Fair with Darb Bridal Couture

Last month I was lucky enough to attend the Brisbane Arcade bridal fair in Brisbane. It was a wonderful Sunday event, a perfect day out for brides, mother-of-the-bride and bridesmaids. The best part of the event, for me was, of course, the parade of Darb Bridal Couture gowns. Being able to get up-close and personal with not only the gowns but also the magnificent designer Brad Webb was a real highlight. Here is a look at some of the exquisite gowns. Unfortunately I only had my snap-shot camera with me, but still, I think the images give you a ‘real’ perspective of the gowns and clearly show just how brilliant and well-designed a Darb dress is.

Designer Brad Webb was on hand to help dress the model
and meet brides-to-be.

This glamorous gown, with its elaborate fine beading and
billowing silk organza skirt, looked amazing on the runway
at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival (below).

Emerald Green with Envy

Being the 'Frog Princess', of course, i love the colour green. And i guess it's no coincident that i have green eyes, drive a green car and my house has green trimmings. What i also love is the flood of emerald green gowns on the red carpet recently. It has inspired me to create an emerald green wedding inspiration board. So beautiful matched with pure, crisp white.




Make your guests emerald green with envy on your wedding day!

Libertine Bar and Restaurant

I've found a new 'favourite restaurant' in Brisbane. Libertine Bar and Restaurant is the place to see and be seen. But what i'm waiting to see, is someone hold an amazing engagement party here. The gobsmacking and glamorous chandeliers would be the perfect back drop for some Vogue-esque fashionable photographs. I should really keep this little gem and idea to myself incase i ever get proposed to, but seriously, it's just too good not to talk about. Oohhh... and Libertine also happens to serve the most ammmazzzzinnnggggg chicken pate... i can just imagine it sitting pretty on the tables, waiting for all the glamorous people to enjoy with a fabulous glass of red wine before partaking in a true night to remember.
