A, B, C...

A friend of mine pointed out these super cute scrabble pillows and immediately wanted to share. Aren't they the best?! Available from Etsy store Shopdirtsa they are a steal at USD$10 incl. inserts.

Vessel of Love

I came across this uber cute table centre on one of my favourite blogs Style Me Pretty. Not only are the vessels from Anthropologie the perfect table decoration for a wedding but the flowers, relaxed and comfortable, complement them perfectly. L.O.V.E! Have a great weekend!

A Winter Warmer

With winter standing firmly on our doorsteps it's never been a better time to embrace rich, warm colours such as golds, browns and caramels. This moodboard I found on Snippet & Ink is a perfect winter warmer and mixed with a hint of rustic pink makes a winter wedding seem like a very bright idea. The gorgeous mother-of-pearl handled cuttlery could be no doubt found through antique and bric-a-brac shops or even online. Winter needn't be dreary and drab afterall!

Courtney & Justin - Engagement Party

Last Saturday the Style Guide team headed to the gorgeous Rymil Park Island in Adelaide for Courtney & Justin's engagement party. Court, a very good friend of Style Guide, put on a fabulous show and we all had such a wonderful afternoon - amazing food, delicious drinks, a truly beautiful venue and lovely weather. Court's got a keen eye for styling and she did a wonderful job with the dessert and lolly buffet. I look back now and wish I'd paid more attention to those gorgeous cakes! Thank you to Court & Justin for a wonderful afternoon and of course, Happy Engagement!

Power Shopping

Amongst the pages of Wedding Style Guide, you'll find a story called Table Three Ways where we choose a colour palette and show how you can style a reception table using those colours, in three completely different ways. We use the same table, chairs, tablecloth, cutlery, crockery - and in most cases, glassware - to show how easy it can be to revamp a neutral venue setting.

In our current issue, I styled a table in a pink and blue palette using the saying 'Love is the Drug' as my inspiration. I sourced great test tube-style bottles with aluminium lids, filled them with musk mock-pills, teamed the bottles with a lab-style clipboard and incorporated lots of notes and graph paper elements.



One of the products I had planned to use, but unfortunately didn't make it to the final shot, was the Laboratory Flower Vases from Urban Outfitters. I had it shipped all the way here, determined that it was perfect for the shoot - paying for expediated shipping to get it here on time - but when it arrived, and all of the elements of the table were put it place, there just wasn't room for it. I haven't forgotten about it though - no doubt you'll see it pop up somewhere else in the pages of Wedding Style Guide when I find a spot to use it.



If you would like your own Laboratory Flower Vases - or any other of the beautiful styling pieces from Urban Outfitters - now is the time. They are offering free shipping to Australia for three days only when you spend $150 or more. With our dollar currently worth more than the US dollar, this is the ideal time to take advantage of this great offer. Simply use the code AUFREESHIP at checkout and know you've just saved yourself a bundle.

Delicate Decals

I saw these decals by Shanna Murray featured on Design*Sponge a little while ago and thought they would work really well at a wedding. They look great stuck on chalkbaord. Some come with sweet wording included or custom wording can be created just for you. Love them!
