Pyrotechnics!

Saw this at the Olympic Park Wedding Expo:

Umbrella

First thing I bought! I just saw it on ebay when I was looking for another umbrella and it was perfect! It will go with any dress and it is actually waterproof unlike most parasols... so will work if it rains! :)

The one I got has a silver handle though.

Gotta be prepared for anything!

LED Cherry Blossoms

I really like these Cherry Blossoms. One of the best things I have seen at wedding expos. Definitely want one!

More Invitations

I am thinking about making my own invitations. I have to work out if this is actually going to be cheaper cause generally the cardstock and the paper costs a fair bit but it would be nice to do because they would be unique!

I like this video as an introduction.



I was also looking at etsy for some ideas. I like etsy because things on there are usually pretty creative and unique also.

Here is one I liked:

I also like this save the date card:

I also really like these envelopes:

I first saw them here while looking at the wedding invites that went with them:

It's pretty and all but I guess what I'd like is something both pretty and really cheerful looking.

Little Bay Chapel

Cake

From Castle Hill Wedding Expo - they make the bride's dress look like the one you wear:

Invitations

I've grabbed some pages from a wedding mag to give a guide about invitations and some ideas of invitation styles:

Nested Bowls

People have been asking what we'd like as engagement or wedding gifts. I really like things which won't take up too much space.

I've seen these before but I really like them, and this price isn't too bad.
