Jonathan Canlas Model-Beautiful Wedding

I'm so happy to be sharing this wedding with you... not only are the bride and groom, Nina and Russell, model-perfect beautiful, but the photography by Jonathan Canlas is as equally stunning. Drawing inspiration from their travels to India and Morocco, the couple decorated their day with bright colours, patterns and arabic lanterns. The result... a vibrant and beautiful wedding. Swoon much ? !!

Marquee Magic

I have grass envy !!! I think it's because i spend so much time in hotel rooms that i've developed an obsession with gorgeous lush green grass (crazy, i know). So when i visited a friends new house last week, i immediately took off my shoes and ran around barefoot on his new lawn. As i sat on his day bed, still mesmerized by the pool and thick green grass, i started imaging what a magnificent party he could have with a marquee on the lawn. I was imagining a chic engagement party, but because his lawn area is small i envisaged two sittings... a breakfast/ brunch for family... and then an uber-chic soiree in the evening for friends (aka 'the party people'). And in Australia nobody does marquee's better than Splendid Days.

Raj Tent Club London, has some great style ideas for and Arabian style soiree

Paper Finger-Game Menu

Remember as a child making, and playing, those fortune paper finger games? Well this months edition of Brides Magazine features an elegant, do-it-yourself version for your wedding menu. What a great idea to inject a little imagination and fun to your reception tables.

Step 1: Take a square piece of paper measuring 19cm x 19cm, fold in half and crease. Then fold the four corners into the central crease so they meet in the centre.

Step 2: Write the word 'Menu' horizontally across each triangle.

Step 3: Turn the square over and write your menu in the four corners. Include the three courses and your wine choice or choices.

Step 4: Fold the corners into the centre so the tips touch, then write the courses - Starter, Main, Dessert, Drink - horizontally across the corresponding sections. Fold in half so 'Main, Starter, Dessert and Drink' face inwards, to form a rectangle.

Step 5: Insert thumbs and index fingers under the flaps and pinch together to form peaks. To create multiple menus, photocopy the finished written menu and fold each sheet of paper in the same way.
