Hola Gorgeous Stationery

12th May 2014

I’ll let you in on a little secret about the stationery suite from the Mexican-themed styled shoot in our latest magazine… this suite was actually created for the designer’s own Mexican wedding!  The invitation suite by newlywed Lisa of Ivy Invite jumps head first into the Day of the Dead theme.

Bridal beauty through the seasons

6th May 2014

Oh snap! Cold snap, that is… For those here on the Sunshine Coast, you will know what I’m talking about. The past couple of days, it’s as though the weather just realised it was no longer Summer and decided to finally fall into line and become the middle of Autumn. I’m not complaining, I love cardigan weather!  I also love the warm colours of Autumn that are present in the bridal makeup for our turning seasons shoot in our latest free online wedding magazine.

Relaxing Spa Hen’s Day

5th May 2014

When asked to test drive Peregian day spa, Soul & Skin Spa, I kindly obliged.

Let me tell you second how it all went down….  It was the most beautiful April day when we arrived. Oh yes, I took…
