Coffee Break
Further to my previous posting on Pantone and all the wonderful products they produce, have a look at these fun espresso cups and mugs available from Melbourne Wedding Registry. They come in a huge range of colours - it's just a matter of choosing your own signature shade.

Well Established
Yesterday Annabelle and I went to Melbourne to attend The Wedding Establishment showcase event, every detail organised by the lovely Tanja Radman - what energy this woman has - she was positively inspiring and we had so much to talk about. The event was the ideal opportunity for brides to meet a select range of quality wedding industry suppliers, all in one place.
An earlier event was held at the Tea Room QVB the previous week during the infamous Sydney dust storms that turned the city red. Check The Wedding Establishment site for a complete rundown of all the exhibitors.

This second event was held in Melbourne at Comme in Alfred Place - such a lovely building. One of the grand upstairs areas was transformed to accommodate all the exhibitors.

As we ascended the wide original staircase we were greeted by waiters carrying platters of delectable finger food and cool drinks - just perfect for the relaxed environment. Models in stunning Mariana Hardwick, Ava Madison, Baccini & Hill and Pallas gowns mingled amongst the guests giving us all a sneak peek into the amazing array of dress choices. It was so nice to finally meet Louise from Harvey&Ella who let us in on her recent trip to France where she has sourced some exciting new fabrics. Her bridesmaid dresses are fantastic - the kind of dress you would actually wear long after the wedding.

Annabelle and I were so pleased to finally meet many of our advertisers and suppliers - those whom until now had only been a familiar voice at the other end of the telephone line. The beautiful letterpressed invitation that we received for the event was printed by Chapel Press who had many examples of their stationery on display. These stylish, embossed thank you cards were a surprise treat from Chapel Press in the goody bag.
Then there were the cakes - oh the cakes! Babycakes had an inspiring macaroon display, giving brides an alternative to a traditional wedding cake. Splendid Servings had a fantastic yellow and black themed cake that would have been perfect for our Ladies and Gentlemen story in Issue 7.

After chatting with the lovely Jessie from j studios and seeing examples of her great work, we practically had to drag ourselves away from chatting with the girls from Infinity Photography - they had a a great stand enticing brides with their beautiful albums. Across from Infinity was A Piece of Paris who had a sophisticated range of wedding stationery. I was interested to learn they offer a styling service as well.
One of our final ports of call was Kate Hill Flowers that was decorated with the most glorious display of fragrant flowers. We also saw a gorgeous helleborus and sweetpea bouquet from Texas Flower Rangers that just seem to capture the essence of spring.
There were many other exhibitors, too many for us chatterboxes to speak with them all. Please do check The Wedding Establishment site for a complete list of contacts.
Before we left Comme we stopped in at the restaurant downstairs for lunch - we were in heaven and wished our ultra-delicious meals would never end. Alas, they did and we had to hurriedly make our way to the airport to fly home to Adelaide. Not hurriedly enough as it turns out we missed our plane! What a fun day though.

White Out
One of my favourite sites for homeware is Whiteport - their products are dreamy, delightful and oh so desirable. We featured their sweet linen lingerie bag in our latest issue.
Well I found out some jolly good news today - they've launched their wedding registry this month. You may find it hard to choose what to include - I would simply say 'absolutely anything please'.

Italian Stallion
One of the masters of fine glassware, internationally renowned Luigi Bormioli, is a little excited to announce the launch of their fine bone dinnerware collection - Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo. Inspired by the essence of Italian dining this classic collection would make an ideal wedding gift or addition to any gift registry. The collection is made from superior vitrified fine bone china and each piece is encompassed with a premium glaze formula that is fired at high temperatures to produce a ‘vitrified’ body which seals each piece for strength and resistance to surface scratches. The rimmed plates in the collection feature a reinforced rolled edge that provides excellent resistance against chipping. The Michelangelo 20 piece formal dinner set contains 28cm dinner plates, 24cm rim soup plates, 23cm salad plates, cups and saucers and retails for $249.00AUS. The 16 piece everyday dinner set comprises 28cm dinner plates, 18cm coupe bowls, 23cm salad plates and 350ml coupe mugs and retails for $199.00AUS. Fourteen additional individual dinnerware items and a host of matching accessories are available that allow you to build your collection to suit your lifestyle. The Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo Collection is available from David Jones and independent homeware stores across Australia. For stockists enquiries call McPherson’s Consumer Products on 1800 65 11 46.

The Dinosaur Age
I think it's becoming more and more popular to offer a couple of different choices when choosing your wedding registry. We see lots of brides choosing the more traditional department store/online store registries and mixing it with something a little more personal like an art gallery, favourite antique store or boutique homeware/furniture store. When I found out that Dinosaur Designs have just launched their online Gift and Wedding Registry, I thought that their bright and beautiful resin homewares would be perfect to complement a more tradtional registry.

You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream for Ice-Cream
There is nothing better than delicious ice-cream on the hottest of summer days. Some ice-cream scoops aren't so user friendly but check out the amazing Cuisipro Ice Cream Scoop and Stack. The scoop and stack makes cylindrical blocks of ice-cream that can be stacked to add colour to any desert or ice-cream cone. I reckon it would be a great addition to any registry. Go to Everten Online to order anywhere in Australia.
