Frill Seeker

These Christian Louboutin strappy sandals are just too pretty. The question then remains - why would you want to have them hidden under a long dress? Short is the answer if you have these sandals on your pretty feet. I'm not convinced they'd be particularly comfortable for 5+ hours, however they are adorable. There's no real argument, is there?! Available to purchase online at www.net-a-porter.com.


Fortitia 100mm sandal with lace ruffles £465

Good Day

I know it's going to be a good day when a package from Follow Studio lands on my desk. So exciting - a beautiful kraft box brimming full of product for our upcoming photo shoot. I was also delighted to find a little package of goodies including this lovely 'hooray' card and oh-so-chic striped notepad.



I am seriously in love with the stationery from Follow Studio - it is classic, understated and sophisticated. Their wedding stationery is divine.

In the Picture

Many people go into the making of a magazine. One of our trusty team is photographer Simon Casson. Not only does Simon shoot specifically for us, he is also an accomplished wedding photographer and we often feature his beautiful weddings in the magazine. You couldn't hope to meet a nicer fella and days spent with Simon are always lots of fun. I took these photos of him yesterday as he worked. Let me tell you, photographers make terrible subjects - they obviously feel far more comfortable on the other side of the lens!



Do have a look at Simon's fantastic wedding photography folio - he travels nationwide shooting beautiful weddings from every corner of the country. We are very lucky to have him on board.

Rally the Girls - SATC 2 is nearly here!

I have a confession to make. I am completely and utterly excited about the release of Sex and the City 2. OMG! I think I've already watched the trailer at least 3 times. For many women SATC is the ultimate ladies night, myself included. The hours spent watching the series on DVD is seriously begining to stack up so another installment is just what the doctor ordered. If you so happen to be having, or planning for that matter, a hen's or girls night for early June consider cosmopolitans, your favourite pair of heels, your most chic bunch of friends and head to the movies. Many cinemas and organisations host preview nights to raise money for a variety of different charities so do your bit. To view the trailer visit www.sexandthecitymovie.com. I must also confess I'm super duper excited to hear Australian artist Ricky-Lee's song Can't Touch It featuring loud and clear in the trailer. I couldn't have thought of a more suitable theme song if I tried. SATC 2 will be released Australia wide on the 3rd June. Double click on the below image to view the trailer!

Italian Splendour

I so love the work of Italian designer Luisa Beccaria - such a beautiful palette of colours. Based in Milan, she sells worldwide - but alas not in Australia (we hope to join the rest of the civilised world soon!) But, despair not – inspiration abounds on the website.

Wire Works

Look at these nifty wire works from Debeaux Souvenirs in France. They would make really interesting talking points for reception decoration, especially if one spelt out the bride and groom's names. Luckily for us they ship worldwide via Etsy.


This one would be an ideal spot for guests to drop a handwritten note to the couple.

They range in price from USD $36 to $110 plus shipping.

Wonderful Wedgwood

Earlier in the year I blogged about one of my favourite sources of inspiration - French Style and Decoration. Well recently I purchased the sister book English Style and Decoration and it is equally as interesting.


English Style and Decoration by Stafford Cliff, from $19.51 plus shipping at Amazon.

I was thrilled to find these early illustrations from Wedgwood - I think they are incredibly beautiful especially with the delicate handwritten notes indicating colour choices and design decisions. Derived from the Italian 'majolica' pattern of the sixteenth century, these two designs are taken from Wedgwood's archives from the 1850s and 1860s. Such fine examples of beauty in nature.

At Wedding Style Guide we are lucky to enjoy a wonderful relationship with Wedgwood - we often use their products in our magazine and they have been a valued advertiser for some time now. With a wealth of history that includes beautiful designs like these, no doubt they will continue to remain as popular as ever.

Yay J!

Great news - wonderful in fact - my all-time favourite brand J Crew is soon to be available to British shoppers through net-a-porter.com. So why does that make me so happy I hear you ask ...they ship to Australia! They have an amazing range of beautiful wedding gowns, maid's dresses and adorable flowergirl/ring bearer outfits, not to mention the divine jewellery and accessories.

Shipping costs will be reasonably high so you'll have to figure that into your final tally but with exchange rates as good as they are at the moment, it can't happen soon enough for me. To learn more read The Guardian article here.
