After: Nina's wedding (part 2)

It's my final post of 2009!

Let me start by saying that I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! And best wishes for an amazing 2010!

To finish off the year at The Kissing Tree, I am going to post some photos from the last wedding I did. They are photos from Nina's wedding a couple of weeks ago. Nina used the same fantastic photographer that I had for my wedding so I was able to get a few professional photographs from their day.

Here are some flower photos from Nina's wedding. The wedding was held at Leaves and Fishes in the beautiful Hunter Valley and the photos were taken by the talented team at Delisser Photography:

Thank you Julie from Delisser Photography for sending me the images, and special thanks to Nina for letting me post them so that everyone could see how beautiful your wedding was! The colour of the flowers looked so great against the dresses. You chose well!

Thank you to all of my brides in 2009! I have felt so lucky to take part in such a special day of your lives, and have been so impressed with all of the great people that I have met. My brides are honestly the best and most lovely brides I could ever ask for!

Talk to you all next year! Bring on 2010!

After: Mira's wedding (part 2)

I managed to get some photos of Mira's wedding bouquets! Yay!

My favourite wedding photographer, Julie from Delisser photography, sent me a few images of Mira's flowers last night. Thanks Julie, they look great!

Here we go.......

Mira's bouquet of calla lilies:

The bridesmaids only carried 3 stems of calla lilies but it looked so elegant:

More of Mira's flowers:

I love how Mira's mantilla veil falls around this one:

And a couple more from the reception.

Vases of the calla lilies were at the entrance of the restaurant:

Just looking at this picture of the white freesias is making me relive the smell. Their fragrance is gorgeous:

Twobirds launches in Australia

I heard a segment on The Morning Show this morning that caught my attention and I thought it may help some brides (and bridesmaids) out there.

twobirds is a boutique bridesmaid dress company that carries the multifunctional dress. The concept was created by Ariane Goldman, who was sick of spending money on expensive dresses that she could never wear again. The style of the dress means you can wrap it in different ways to create at least 10 different dresses. I think this is a great idea - I wish these had been around 6 months ago for my bridesmaids!

Bridesmaid dress shopping can be very stressful when you are trying to find a dress that flatters all of your girls. Even the current trend of having your girls in different styles but the same colour can be limiting because it means you have to get all the dresses from the same shop to make sure the colour will match exactly. So the multifunctional dress takes all the stress out of it and is flattering on all figures and pregnant bridesmaids too.

The best thing is that your girls can still wear the dress many times after your wedding. All they have to do is wrap it differently to get a new style and they can wear it over and over again.

The dress is available in 13 different colours and comes in a short or long length. If you are interested, it is available to try on at the new twobirds store in Surry Hills.
