Oh for the Love of VERA !

When I think of a dream wedding, I think of the beautiful bride swanning down the aisle in a distinctively 'Vera' gown. A gown which may take a life time to save for, but when we are talking about a 'Vera Wang', it is worth every pain-staking penny.

Vera Wang is quite simply, the queen of bridal couture. Her gowns are known for their form-fitting design and flattering styles. Each year her collections carry with them a show-stopping element, from high-drama ruffles to oversized bows, delicate ribbons or mountains of tulle, your search for the perfect 'Vera' doesn't mean your limited to this years collection... Vera is timeless.

But remember girls ..."You don't alter a Vera Wang to fit you... you alter yourself to fit Vera!"



Vera Wang's 2010 collection was a surprise, as it was definately a step away from her usual traditional style and a move toward modern-edgy designs. This year was all about layers and layers of light, airy, romantic fabric... in abundance. Wang also noted the economy struggles of the world and included several more affordable gowns in her collection, making the median price of this year's gowns around $4000.



"For most women a wedding gown represents far more than just something to wear on her glorious day. It is also the embodiment of a dream, perhaps one she has nurtured since childhood. In this fantasy of idealized happiness, the groom represents perfection and the face of all human possibility. The instant a woman becomes engaged, however, all that energy and passion gets transferred to her dress" (Vera Wang on Weddings)

Oh Mummy Dearest

I can only dream of looking as stunning as my Mum did on her wedding day.
This photo of her went on display through out shopping centres in Queensland
to promote the photographer just after she was married.
I can't wait for my Mum to walk me down the aisle.
It's going to take a very special Frog that see's Mum hand me over to him.
We are the best of friends, I love Mum so very much.

You Light Up My Life

Whether the focal centre piece of a room, dripping decoratively from a tree or adorning the front of an invitation...chandeliers add instant glamour to any occasion. They hold so much style, elegance and create a romantic ambience...gorgeous, dazzling decadence. I want one!

Wild Horses Couldn't Drag Me Away From You

Perhaps it's because the Frog I have just finished with owns a horse stud, (unfortunately I thought he was 'the one' and I honestly believe he would make the world's best husband), Or perhaps it's because I'm a Sagittarian and we are ruled by the horse, with our zodiac symbol being a half-man half-horse figure... either way the idea of staging your wedding in a barn house or in a paddock surrounded by horses is oh so charming, rustic and romantic.



"The things you wanted i bought them for you.
Graceless lady you know who I am,
You know I can't let you slide through my hands.

Wild horses couldn't drag me away,
Wild Wild horses couldn't drag me away"
- The Rolling Stones

The First Time

"The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story.
It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly
than even the final surrender;
Because this kiss already has within it that surrender"

-Emil Ludwig

You'll look Sweet Upon The Seat Of A Bicycle Built For Two

Brides and Grooms, photographers and stylists, everyone has gone crazy for the idea of capturing newlyweds wheeling down the path of life together...on a bicycle built for two...or one. How fun !!!!


"Daisy Daisy give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look sweet upon the seat,
Of a bicycle built for two"

Behind the Veil

I think the first thing every little girl does when she plays dress-ups and wants to be a bride, is find a sheet or piece of fabric to place on her head. On your wedding day you definately don't want to miss the opportunity to capture the image that you've always dreamt of...
