Paper LOVE...Invite Sneak Peek

It has been party central around here of late. Girly and lovely and frilly and twinkly. It is a refreshing change to be working on some invitations that are the exact opposite of that. A certain Mr is turning 50 and we have been asked by his wife to create the invites. While I am sure it will be lovely it will be neither girly or frilly! Here is a peek at the envelope back detail that we were busy printing up today...

We can't wait to show you the whole set once finished!

Event LOVE...an Easter Engagement

It was a sea of turquoise and twinkle lights for the Engagement party on Saturday night. The bride-to-be wore white and her groom wore a smile from ear to ear. There was delicious food and drink and friends and family that had flown in from all over. We heard nothing but oohs and aahs all night from the delighted guests {we don't know if it was from viewing the ring; a Tiffany & Co. sparkler, the scrumptious food, the frozen margaritas; yep you read that right!, the gorgeous decorations and setting or a wonderful combination of all!} we think the guests of honour were pretty chuffed with the outcome as well...

We thought the couples too-cute-for-words dachshund should get a mention because he really did steal the show on the night!  Complete with dapper bow tie  he mingled and posed for photos and maybe had a little nap towards the end {it's tough being so cute!}.

Congratulations you two, we wish you nothing but love and laughter and can't wait to be a part of the wedding!

Easter LOVE...Engagements, Eggs & Friends

Wow, what a weekend! We spent the Easter weekend with family and friends eating too much, drinking too much and having all too much fun...

The Engagement Party that we have been chatting about was held on Saturday night and we have to say that it was wonderful...more on that tomorrow!

We hope the Easter bunny was good to you xx

Party LOVE...Favour Bags

Oops, yesterday seemed to get away from me. It was Thursday but in actual fact it was fake Friday...end of week stuff to get finished, lots of giant chocolate freckles to get wrapped for Easter Saturday treats at the shop and finishing off some of the engagement party details. 

Here's a peek at the favour bags and labels before they are stuffed with special treats for all the guests to enjoy! {and a big thank you to the boys for helping me peel and stick all the labels to the bags at 10pm last night!...those little stickers were ridiculously hard to peel!}

Oh and a sneak peek at the finished straws. Not long now!

Event LOVE...an Engaging party

No rest for the wicked they say...and I believe them. It feels like we are still coming down from a busy weekend of parties and yet we are straight into another one! We have been working for about as long as the past 2 events {if not longer} on the Engagement Party we have this weekend but we haven't chatted about it as much. Partly because we didn't want to give too much away! Don't worry I am sure we will more than make up for it after the event.

The gorgeous Bride-to-be and I have had most of the decorations and props made and waiting for a little while now, so it is the final little touches that I am working on today and tomorrow {then setup Friday for the big night Saturday!}.  Today was making, printing and cutting out all the mini flags to decorate the drinking straws...

Keep your eyes peeled for these little beauties in situ on the night!

Event LOVE...Sweet Shower

It really was oh-so-sweet!
The weather was beautiful, the food delicious and the bride-to-be was simply stunning.
There were swans and strawberries, posies and Persian fairy floss, games and giggles and far too much food and drink. Every detail was girly and decadent, from an array of vintage china teacups and saucers right down to the handmade, lace edged fabric napkin that was given to each guest as a party favour.

How gorgeous is the the bride-to-be! The groom sure is a lucky man...

We hope you like looking at the pictures as much as we enjoyed the day...here's to the future Mrs, I hope the shower was a wonderful precursor of what's to come!

Weekend LOVE...It was wonderful!

Happy Monday friends. Wow. We need to take a moment to catch our breath after a truly amazing weekend. As you all know {from my multiple posts on the subject last week} we had a busy weekend with events...a truly magical 21st and a completely decadent Bridal Shower! Our gorgeous 21st birthday girl was lucky enough to have a professional photographer capture her party {and we are absolutely squealing with excitement to be given some also!} so when they send them through you know you will be the first to see them! And I am still getting through and editing the few hundred photos that were taken at the Bridal Shower but I absolutely cannot wait to show you them...until then here is a tiny sneak peek!

We also managed to fit in some time for fun. On Friday night we had a wonderful night of food and drink with some absolutely lovely friends {and neighbours from our strip of shops}. And even more excitingly we just found out that one of the gorgeous couples became engaged shortly after...congratulations you two we couldn't be happier for you both! We spent Sunday afternoon with the Royal cuteness himself, the lucky leap year lad we mentioned here. It was the perfect way to end an otherwise hectic weekend.  

Hoping your weekend was wonderful also!
