Michael Matarazzo Real Wedding - Deb James &

On South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, Deb & Michael married on 29th January 2011 at the picturesque Waverley Estate in the beachside town of Port Elliot. In front of 125 guests they exchanged their vows on a warm, sunny afternoon. There's no denying that the fabulous photography by the very talented Pete Thornton from Event Imaging has perfectly captured the relaxed, happy and love-filled day. The gorgeous bride, in a magical cotton and silk blend Akira gown, was the definition of a glowing, thanks in-part to the makeup artist from Ocea Beauty Bar. There's no denying the love between Deb & Michael shines through in these photographs. We loved the colourful and casual flowers, the brides dress and the polaroid photo's taken by guests for the Bride & Groom as keepsakes. Congratulations Deb & Michael!

The eclective VIP Night

The VIP evening, scheduled for Friday 09 September between 6 and 9pm in Adelaide, is the official launch of the inaugural curated bridal showcase that is the Eclective.



To kick off the showcase the VIP evening will give attendees an opportunity to experience some of Adelaide's most innovative businesses in action. Sample some of the amazing food by Let Them Eat, savoury and sweet morsels by the White House Kitchen and Lounge, keep hydrated with beer from the McLaren Vale Beer Company and little bubbles from Mayhem and Co. And we don't want to forget dessert on a night such as this so Steve Ter Horst Chocolatier will have divine chocolates to taste. Along with all of those delights, entertainment will include Lucky Seven Swing, The Voice of Transition and many more to keep the atmosphere alive.



Not only will you have an experience to hold onto but you will have your letterpress eclective ticket printed by the ink room as a keepsake from the event as seen in the photograph above. These are for VIP and online ticket sales only. VIP night tickets will be sold exclusively online, will not be available at the door and are limited to 150 so be sure to buy your's here today to secure your spot.



This is the opportunity to be the very first to experience these amazing vendors that have come together in one venue. It is destined to be a fantastic night and we can't wait!

Real Wedding Karen & Paul

One or our favourite weddings from our autumn issue was Karen and Pauls at Gunners' Barracks. It was a fun and relaxed wedding that really celebrated their love. Karen incorporated a lot of thoughtful touches that helped make their day unique to them.







We didn't have space in the magazine to show the stationery that Karen designed for her wedding. Below is the screen printed invite as well as the balloon hens party invitation - such great ideas!



Karen and Paul's wedding was shot by Bradley Patrick from SugarLove Weddings. Bradley has also just launched his new commercial  which showcases a lot of the celebrity work he has done.

Design Star Stars

Ever since the first Sarah Janks gown came through our doors I've been in love. The craftsmanship and detailing is simply exquisite. Sarah is excited to announce the opening of her flagship studio in Sydney's North Shore, introducing her debut Tempus collection. Reinterpretating classic shapes with a modern slant, Sarah employs traditional techniques with impeccable fit and attention to detail. The dichotomy of fitted versus fluid is underlined by second skin bodices accompanied by ball gown or curvaceous hourglass skirts. Slinky bias cut dresses in chiffons, liquid satins and morocains balance the tailored pieces in the collection. The intricate embellishments and fabric manipulations are inspired by pressed flowers, old hand written love notes hidden in the folds of the skirt, small tokens of affection and a nostalgia of an era where romance blossomed into love.

Sarah has come a long way from leaving South Africa where she was born and raised to landing in London with just 300 pounds. Sarah found her first job at Kashkets, who were responsible for the outfits worn by Prince William, Prince Harry and the page boys at the recent Royal wedding of Will & Kate. Twelve years on and after almost a decade working for incredible designers such as Roland Mouret, Jonathan Saunders and Jenny Packam, Sarah moved to Australia and this week opened the doors to her Neutral Bay Studio.

Be sure to visit Sarah's studio at Shop 9, 7 Waters Road, Neutral Bay, Sydney 2089. Bridal and gown consultations are by appointment.
