Table Numbers

Table numbers are often overlooked at weddings. If they aren't provided the venue usually uses plastic cafe style black and white options which more often than not detracts from pretty table settings. The below house number tiles have been cleverly used as table numbers and match the theme perfectly. They are available from anthropologie who finally delivers to Australia!

Sneak Peek

Our new issue hits the shelves this Wednesday - it's our biggest and best yet (yes, I know I always say that, but it really is!).

To get you all in the mood, here is a little sneak peek at one of my favourite stories - Bloom Boom. Featuring the timeless qualities of floral patterns, this story shows you how to bring just the right amount of pretty to a wedding with delicate florals and contemporary styling.

Not content with showing you every detail to style this theme, we've included a kids' table in the story, just right for all the little guests.





And the best part...Annabelle's daughter, Eliza, was our adorable little model. I can't wait to show you all the behind-the-scenes shots I took as she munched her way through handfuls of popcorn with us all watching on. She really did have the best time which is a pretty good indicator that your little guests will love it too.

Oh So Coco

There's something about a truly gorgeous wedding video that really stirs your emotions. On Wed 9 June model Coco Rocha wed Interior Designer James Conran in a beautiful wedding held at Chateau Challain in the Loire Valley, France. Not only was the location completely breathtaking but her dress, by designer Zac Posen was jaw dropping. That is my dream dress right there! Coco was lovely enough to share two versions of her wedding video, by American Cinema, on her blog Oh So Coco. I've supplied you with the shorter version below however if you'd like to view the longer version visit her blog at ohsococo.blogspot.com. I can guarantee you would have seen nothing like it before. She also shared a sneak peak of her stationery and dress below. Fit for a Chateau wedding most definitely!

Pleasure in Paper

Oooo, look what I found – a pretty paper mobile by Lokta in the US, USD $30. It does say they only ship to the US but surely they couldn't resist a charming bride all the way from Australia if you were to ask them nicely? It would make a fantastic decoration if you fancied our Paper and Lace story from Issue 15.



It may prove just the incentive to enter our fabulous competition where you can win lots of special styling pieces to replicate this theme. You've got to be in it to win it, but hurry - entries close 7th September 2010!
