Thursday Treats – 19th Nov 2009

Kat

November 19, 2009

Oooh what a set of tasty treats I have for you this week. As ever, I have been blown away with the joy that blog land and the internet has spread this week. First off an extra special mention to Naz of Oliver Rue who sent me a little delight in the post in the form of some 'rockstar' magnets and the most adorable handmade card which is now adoring my fridge. I can not express how happy this package made me. I was having a really stressful day and getting home to a parcel wrapped in leopard print really made my week! {lookie!}

Memory Lane

Kat

November 19, 2009

Nadia's vintage Chanel, trip down memory lane inspired photo shoot makes me weep with nostalgic joy. The records, the books, the beautiful dress, the shoes and the make up - all lend themselves oh too perfectly to this by-gone fashion era. Thanks to Millie for sharing these

Contrast & Style

Kat

November 18, 2009

This Australian wedding blew me away as soon as I laid eyes on that dress! Shannon & Carl got married in Brisbane and had a vintage glam wedding full of quirky and classically styled delights. I am loving the multi-layered, uber cute dress and accessories that Shannon rocked (including her amazing bouquet - le swoon indeed) and the locations are to die for - the glamourous ceremony hotel contrasts perfectly with rough 'n ready portrait site and the super trendy, waterside reception venue. A wedding of contrasts and a wedding of style. Thanks to newcomer Stephen for sharing one of his very first weddings with us.

Roller Derby Bride

Kat

November 18, 2009

This roller derby bride (who met her friend and photographer Lilly whilst playing roller derby for the Rat City Rollers in Seattle) married her long term boyfriend at a 1920's/1930's Bonnie & Clyde inspired wedding in Kubota Gardens, a Japanese garden in Seattle. The entire wedding party was in vintage 1930's garb, as were many of the guests. A getaway car in the form of a 1930's hot rod was provided by a good friend of Randi and Todd's: Jerry Chinn, who is a local prop house owner and collector of vintage vehicles. He was kind enough to pull over a couple of times so the photographer could get some really great shots of them with the car. The reception was at a neighborhood watering hole called Calamity Jane's where jambalaya and collard greens were served and square dancing ensued

Little Black Number

Kat

November 15, 2009

This bride actually bought a prom dress to wear on her big day as she wanted a little black number! It fitted in perfectly with their venue (an estate) and it's beautiful and old demeanor - it was full of antiques which suited the couple and their style perfectly. The reception was outside held and decorated with butterflies and moss which certainly made for the perfect backdrop for photographs. With an English family who love football (soccer!) they had to get a game in there. The bride even bought wellies - black and pink of course - to play along in the rain too. Photographer Ingrid paid special attention to photographing this special part of the day. Thanks to Ingrid for sharing these with us today

Eerie.

Remember when I told you green dresses were in?! Well that exact thing is what drew me to this amazing photo shoot at Clise Mansion in Seattle. The models brought their own clothes and the girl in the green gown actually found it in a vintage store in Portland. I love the misty, foggy and eerie setting of these. Thanks to Nick for sending these to me Credit: Nick Bartoletti

Woodland Vintage Loveliness

November 13, 2009

Unusually for me I don't have much to say about this stunning, gorgeous and amazing vintage bridal shoot sent in by Allyson of Alley Kat Photography. The hair, the make up, the dress and the location do aaaaall the talking! Thanks so much Allyson for sharing these

Credit: Dixie Pixel Ooooh I'm pretty sure the internet has been oozing awesomeness just so I could include it all in my Thursday Treats this week! Behold this special bumper issue of tastiness - I couldn't leave anything out. Here are some of this week's yummiest morsels...

The Most Beautiful Wedding Ever

Kat

November 10, 2009

Stand by, hold onto your hats and behold the post of a million photos! Coined by photographer Noa as The Most Beautiful Wedding Ever (and yes, I pretty much agree!) Zola & Derick's wedding pretty much lives up to the hype left by their adorable engagement session shot at their home earlier this year. ps Zola's vintage dress makes me want to cry it's so beautiful... Thank you SO much to Noa for sending these over to me as soon as she'd edited them, as always, I am truly honoured Credit: Featherlove Photography

Bonafide

Kat

November 8, 2009

Photographer Joy Marie posted a sneak peek of this wedding what feels like aaages ago, but as soon as I saw this tattoo/ring shot I knew I wanted it to blog! The full set certainly doesn't disappoint. Robert & Avery are a bone-fined Rock n Roll couple. He has produced rock greats such as Ozzy Osbourne and she is the founder and owner of a vintage fashion company, Making a Comeback. It may be cheesy but I can't resist.....ROCK ON!

Steam Punk

Kat

November 6, 2009

I have to say, I don't really know what steam punk is...but from what I gather it's this - a mad hatter, crazy colour, super duper ott, satin, goggled, gothic extravaganza! Is that somewhere close? Sabrina & John had a costume wedding on Halloween and I could not resist these portraits...holy amazing fashion batman! Thanks to Kelly for sending these to me. Wowzer indeed

Meredith Sweet

Kat

November 5, 2009

I featured Meredith & Justin's cute picnic engagement session a while back so it's only fitting that I also share their wedding...especially as it turned out as pretty as this - hello...?A tea length textured dress with pockets! Meredith's dress came from Melissa Sweet and is called Fiesole. It's a silk strapless tea-length dress with all over horizontal net embellishment and bow at waist and is quite frankly perfect for her. Wow so jealous! hehe Thanks so much to Nina for sharing these!

Vintage Glam & Fun

Kat

November 4, 2009

Chris & Carly's vintage glam wedding was planned with fun in mind..that was it - lets have a blast! The pair didn't want traditions or fuss to play a part, instead focusing on great style (white bridesmaid dresses oh yes!), a ton of character and a party that they could claim as their own.

The Corpse Bride

Kat

November 4, 2009

With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year and it being a distinctly unconventional theme for a wedding, I have not at all been surprised to receive a number of spooky themed weddings that took place last weekend. I'm kicking today off with Colinne & Shane's wedding. Some of my favourite details include Colinne's choice of converse trainers under her dress plus her black diamond engagement ring, the lucky rabbit's foot that accompanied her bouquet and acted as her 'something old'. The couple even used the vows from The Corpse Bride as their own! With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, For I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine Thank you to Elizabeth for sharing these Credit: ENV Photography

I have literally died and gone to rockabilly wedding heaven. When Kelty sent me Zach & Sara's newlywed session I actually squealed with excitement! You'll see why...

Under the Spotlight – Whirlingturban

Kat

October 30, 2009

Have you been dreaming about a gorgeous vintage style gown but have been afraid of the potentially massive price tag? Well Katherine Robinson of Whirlingturban has the answer! From a career in Hollywood making glamorous outfits for superstars, Katherine relocated to Bali (!) 8 years ago where she designs and makes vintage reproduction dresses. Her stunning ready made creations for example start at just $400 in her wedding boutique and for a completely custom dress you'd be looking at prices from only $800. As everything is done online she will even ship out a loaner dress to you to make sure the cut and fit are perfect before she makes your dress.

Ruffled

Kat

October 28, 2009

You lucky lucky things, I have a couple of ridiculously gorgeous ruffled dresses to share with you today, starting with this yellow beauty. Photographer Apryl deemed Rock n Roll Bride worthy of being the first blog to share her work...like, ever. How awesome is that? Oh...and how awesome are these?! The dress, a Clifton Wilhite original found at Junkadoodle was a bit of a mess when they found it, however Apryl and her team, including Katie (who played model for the day) & Sally from Revolution Gardenwho supplied the masquerade masks cleaned it up and rocked out to get these amazing shots. Truly inspiring! Thanks to Apryl for sharing these. I can not wait to see more from you in future!

So Sentimental

Kat

October 28, 2009

I haven't posted any videos for a while so when Wes sent me the link to Leighanne & Adam's little film I lapped it up. Their wedding may have had many traditional elements but the video just made me smile so I felt the need to share Thanks to Wes for sending this over! You can check out more of his work on his new Vimeo channel

The Beatles, Dr Seuss, Pom Poms & Holga!

Kat

October 27, 2009

A DIY wedding with Holga images? Oh hell yeah baby! Shelly & Jeff had a wedding that perfectly epitomised them. From the turquoise and orange pom poms and the personalised 'All You Need is Love' M&Ms to their friend playing 'Blackbird' by The Beatles and Dr Seuss' 'Oh The Places We Will Go' as gifts. From the sparrow salt & pepper shakers as a cake topper and succulents as centrepieces to the their customised 'lunchboxes' by Pink Avocado..oh yes yes yes! Shelly's beautiful dress was by Linda Asaf and I love it all! Thanks to Katherine for sending these over to me. I am in lurrrve Credit: Katherine O'Brien Photography

Grand & Unusual

Kat

October 26, 2009

Happy Monday my lovelies. Being away from my computer for 2 days means I have a hell of a lot of stuff to now catch up on (good for you!) including announcing the finalists for the Love Me Do Photography contest - check back later today to check them out and vote for your favourites to win! Starting off the week in style is this stunning red haired bride. The shoot took place in a funeral home of all places (her father works there) but the setting certainly made for a rather grand and unusual backdrop. Yummy indeed. Thanks to Maria for shipping these over to me. Love love love... Credit: Squaresville Studios
