W is for... yeah yeah yeah

They say the devils in the details. Well I say that. Details can be devilish to pull off but the rewards usually speak for themselves. Take this wedding as seen on Style me Pretty. Divine.com. Anything navy is always glamorous in my opinion. The amount of work in the cake and cupcakes makes me sad for the person who had to make them.

Snaps to Jacki and Sammy for passing on the 3 love blogging post. Check it out.

My nose is blocked and my sneezing sounds like... well I don't know. Something gross. Thanks to the nice man who coughed on me on the plane coming home to Fiji. Thanks really. I still have my pyjamas on and I need to get my legs waxed. My nail polish is chipped and guess what our new neighbours are stopping by for a drink tonight. Happy Wednesday to you too.

That's all x

Limited Edition

A love a good scented candle. One of my favourite's Wild Fig and Cassis by Jo Malone has been released in a limited edition Farrow and Ball swanky coloured jar thingy.

"Inspired by breakfast in Tuscany, Wild Fig & Cassis captures the moment of breaking open sun-warmed figs, fresh from the tree. " OK then. Trust me they smell divine.
Would make a great wedding present x

W is for Wednesday's, W is for Wedding's.

Autumn Inspiration. How lovely to get married in Autumn. Such beautiful colours and crisp weather with blue skies make it an ideal time to get married. Here are a few details of gorgeous things Autumn. Loving the stationery and the Vera Wang gowns. My pick - the pink and subtle gold table - Martha of course! The touches of gold could make for glamorous formal affair or a rustic casual wedding brunch. Happy Wedding Wednesday. That's all x

W is for Wednesdays, W is for Weddings

Iconic wedding dresses today. I was looking through the latest Monique L'hullier wedding collection and they inspired me to write this W is for today. My most loved wedding dresses or wedding dress moments. Top 5 here. Now. Strap yourself in.

Grace Kelly is my number one. She was American and married a prince. In that dress. The full lace. Divine. Can't beat it.

Oh Princess Diana. I loved her so much. So graceful. So elegant. That's a pretty good dress choice for a 20year old in 1981.

Nicole Kidman looked so pretty and romantic. Loved it. Shame about the idiot she married. Sorry.

Carolyn. She got him and looked sexy as hell in Narcisco Rodriguez. Well why not?

Didn't love the dress but that moment. I could have screamed. I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Romantics here at c'est bon bon. Nice veil though.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback on my blog.

What the cool people are saying. "Loving your blog. It makes my day"

You know who you are x

W is for Wednesdays, W is for Weddings

As I mentioned yesterday today's W is for, is a little bit special.
A year ago my dear friend R married the man she loves the most. Here's a look at their beautiful wedding day. I can't believe it's been a year. Such a lovely day - and such a fun night.
Wishing you lots of love. x Images courtesy from here.

Their writing songs of love.

You know that bit from Four Weddings and a Funeral when Hugh Grant's character Charlie wakes up and is relieved not to have a wedding on a Saturday morning??
Well I am feeling the opposite.
No weddings on the horizon. Zip. We drove past a wedding in the Kangaroo Valley on Sunday and I thought damn if I wasn't wearing Wellies we could crash this party. But alas no.
Can someone get hitched soon please?

Anyway, ahem. That's enough about me.

Here's some beautiful ideas for any upcoming weddings which may or may not be on the horizon.

W is for Wednesdays, W is for Weddings

Check out this fun wedding as featured by Carter and Cook Event Co.

Loving all the details especially the dessert bar.
Love Love Love the pre wedding dance with the bridesmaids. Note the MOB grooving out in the background. I love it.
Happy Wednesday!

W is for Wednesdays, W is for Weddings.

Oh Vera. You kill me. Time and time again.

The Yellow Dress - A love Story

Image from here

Inspired by Chantelle at Fat Mum Slim I decided that for this Wedding Wednesday I would write about My Love Story. Its nice.


Along time ago, since 1980, there was a Girl who loved parties. (That's me.) There was a special engagement party that the Girl was V excited about. On the morning of the engagement party the excited girl was busy hair- ing and makeup -ing and there was a certain something in the air.

The arrangements for arriving at the party were extensive and complicated so I'll narrow it down.
Meet here. Travel to party on organised bus. Arrive at destination. Enjoy party. Go home the same way.

Sounds simple but the charming and very well dressed Girl happened to posses an unfortunate lack of direction/ knowledge of maps/ common sense. Although being a native Sydney sider the Girl managed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or was she?

Whilst waiting in the wrong place at the wrong time for a bus that was never going to arrive the lovely, charming, well dressed Girl carrying a gorgeously wrapped if somewhat over sized present locked eyes with a very smiley young man who appeared to have very dreamy eyes behind a pair of vintage ray bans.

There was a look.

Him: You must be waiting for the engagement party bus too?
Her: What gave it away? The giant present I'm carrying or my dazzling choice of outfit for 11am on a Saturday.

She did look fabulous.

Him: Ahhhah ummmmm
Her: (Quite primly) Yes I am waiting for the bus, but where is it? I'm very special and important it cannot leave without me
Him: Tries to make small talk about friends engagement.

She makes call to friend. Thinks to herself. Hhhmm. He's nice.

Her: We are in the wrong place. We need to be there.
Gestures with over sized present to a romantic car park behind a highway.
Him: Oh.

The charming Girl lugs present to proper departure point and is reunited with friends. Bus leaving soon. Just enough time to buy water for long bus trip. Girl wishing to arrive looking chic and hydrated in manner of Carrie Bradshaw arriving in Paris.

Our lovely Girl is the last to board the bus and steps on only to realise the only available seat is next to crinkly eyed guy. Girl has no choice but to sit next to smiley stranger. Girl swears the bus driver winked at her.

Fast forward one hour and a bit who was counting? Girl and smiley Boy arrive at party. Girl corners party host to whisper "Tell me everything about smiley."

Girl thoroughly enjoys party - one of the best parties ever. Girl tells best friend over lunch she has met the one. Hops back on bus ever so slightly less chic and sits down next to, you guessed it. Him. Charming chic Girl and smiley Boy chat and laugh and feel as if they have known each other for years. Technically they met over ten years ago but no one could remember.

Arrive at dodgy bar after bus ride. Girl remembers dancing and ordering chips? Comforts crying friend and has fantastic time.
Ring ring (calls mother from bathroom of dodgy bar)
Her: Hi mum, I've just met the most wonderful smiley Boy. You'll love him.....

And that's how I met my David.
Thank you for being my favourite everything x
