Number One

Affectionately known simply as 'One Rundle' to us locals, One Rundle Trading Company is definitely one of Adelaide's decorating gems. Located in the pretty, leafy suburb of Dulwich, this fantastic converted building houses a carefully selected mix of antique and contemporary pieces, all beautifully displayed in a way which makes it impossible to leave the store without something in your hand.



As supporters of Wedding Style Guide for many years, we have been fortunate to use many of their beautiful pieces in our styling shoots. The hard part is choosing from their impressive selection. We feature just a few on the pages of our latest issue.





One Rundle Trading Company offer a bespoke Gift Registry service too - just perfect for couples wanting to accent their home with unique and sophisticated pieces. All the details, plus a glimpse into the huge array of products they carry are on their website.

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!

Very Vintage

There's something quite beautiful about vintage clothing. The history, fine craftsmenship and glamour that exudes from pre-loved gowns is quite awe-inspiring. Purchasing a new gown isn't the dream of every bride and if you're on the hunt for that extra special, pre-loved piece (and will be visiting London) be sure to visit The Vintage Wedding Dress Company. Melding her years of styling experince with her talent for discovering exquisite pieces, Charlie has created a unique go-to place for girls who want to wear something completely original but don't have the time, energy or faintest idea where to start. Sourcing gowns from London, Paris and across the world, Charlie has a cult following and is loved by celebrities such as Cate Deely and Australia's own Alice McCall. Not only the place to go for a one-of-a-kind piece, Charlie has also created The Decades Collection to complement her collection of vintage wedding dresses. Comprising of six new vintage-inspired dresses, one from each era from the 1920's through to the 1970's, the collection is elegantly constructed using the silhouettes and essence of decades gone by. Each style has a series of additions that can be selected by the client to personalise their chosen dress; lace sleeves, scalloped hems, decorative trims and edgings. The Decades Collection allows brides to get creative; it offers you the freedom to add a bespoke element to your new vintage-style dress and the versatility to wear your dress again long after you have walked down the aisle. I couldn't think of a more exciting prospect! Be sure to visit TVWDC in Bloomsbury, London WC1, however bookings are essential. The Decades Collection starts from £1,250. Visit www.thevintageweddingdresscompany.com for all the details.

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 - Monique Lhuillier

Opting for a more subdued palette with injections of spearmint green and burnt orange, Monique Lhuillier showed a collection that really epitomises her label - classic, feminie and simple. A super pretty aray of short hemmed dresses added a perfect amount of flirtiness to the collection with splashes of floral patterned fabrics hinting that spring is well and truly on its way. 50's style cinched waists, ruffles and lace embellishments added to the appeal although I would have loved to have seen a couple of longer alternatives. If short is your thing then you're going to love this collection! Visit www.moniquelhuillier.com for details.

New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 - Carolina Herrera

New York Fashion Week is always a colourful affair especially where spring and summer are concerned. American's aren't affraid to use colour and it certainly showed as the spring/summer collections were bursting with vibrant, adventurous but easily wearable shades. I've always loved bright orange and pink as a colour combination and Carolina Herrera opted to have these two hues as the base to her new collection. Amazing! She always manages to make evening wear look so effortless. Her use of details like bows, sashes and crystals makes the pieces look ever so feminine which is why she's always a favourite amongst the a-list for red carpet do's. Visit www.carolinaherrera.com for collection details.

I hope they fill you with inspiration as they have me.
