Good morning blog-land...how are we all? I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you for the amazing response to the first 'How To Blog' article and I will definitely be writing some more in the future. I have received some brilliant questions relating to the idea of Originality and Connections which I will certainly share with you all soon. Right, back to the gorgeousness and an adorable engagement session from Australian photographer Tim Harris. I was completely overcome by fashion envy when I saw these, for me it's all about her delightful dress and his awesome trilby hat! Credit: Tim Harris Photography

Equal Love

Kat

August 2, 2009

Yesterday Equal Love protests took place all over Australia for the 5th year running. Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Hobart and Canberra all hosted events. Their mission is to change public opinion on gay marriage in their country through education and direct action. Yesterday was a landmark event for them, thousands of people showed up to each venue to witness hundreds of gay and lesbian couples commit their lives to each other in technically illegal ceremonies right in front of these cities' courthouses. Photographer Jessie Broome of J Studios attended the Melbourne event and alongside 4000 others, witnessed 65 couples commit their lives to each other. I personally believe this is a wonderful cause and I fully support the rights of gay couples to marry. I would just like to add that this is not a sponsored post of any kind and that have not been paid to write this article. Jessie sent me the link and I knew I'd have to share it with you all. I feel very strongly that prejudice against gay relationships or marriage is fundamentally wrong and hope though my little blog, I can hopefully highlight this fantastic cause to a few more people. Thans to Jessie for sharing the cause with us and for allowing us to use her images from the event. Credit: J Studios

Layered Grey Tulle

Kat

July 29, 2009

Right my lovelies, prepare to be wowed. I discovered Amanda & Jeffery's wedding when browsing Etsy for a tutu no less. I found seller Monique Martinez of Ouma Clothing who made Amanda's GORGEOUS layered grey, tulle dress and immediately knew I had to try and feature this wedding! The Bridesmaids were treated to similar dresses (but each with their own individual twist) from Ultra Suite and Jeffery and his boys wore suits from Req Square in Queens Plaza Brisbane. The Austrailian couple had their ceremony at the ultra modern Brisbane Powerhouse New Farm and choose local buskers (who were only 16!) to perform the music. Their reception took place at River Room Southbank. Jeffery's family come from Thailand, so in order to incorporate this into their big day, the couple infused their wedding with a beautiful Asian colour scheme. The wedding day was rounded off by a 80's disco that went on late into the night. Thanks so much to Amanda & Jeffery for taking the time to share their gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous day with us!

A Seriously Amazing Wedding!

Kat

June 24, 2009

So you thought their Jess & Dana's engagement's were amazing right? Well check their wedding out. Ahhhh I am in love and lust all at the same time! The Groom's crazy cool suit was made from a vintage pattern and the couple said they were going for "a mix-mash of styles with a vintage feel" which I have to say totally works. Why on Earth do you have to stick on one theme?! The Bride didn't wear a wedding dress, she picked it up from her favourite shop in Australia. A ridiculously huge thank you to photographer/videographer extraordinaire Hailey Bartholonew of You Can't Be Serious. I am forever if your wedding debt!
