Urban Prettiness Inspiration Shoot

I was never a girlie girl but in the past few years I have embraced my inner girlie, therefore if came as no surprise that I literally squealed with delight when I saw these pictures, the ultimate in wedding inspiration.

Designed by Nathalie at Luxe Fete Event Planning and Design Studio, every picture is utterly drop dead gorgeous, it’s not only the height of prettiness, but it’s got a certain sexy glamorous feel to it to.

Wouldn’t you just love to be a guest at a wedding like this?? I know I would, and I think it’s even gave me some ideas from my bedroom( which is in dire need of a revamp) especially loving the mirrors tres chic don’t you think?

Flowers and Design: Luxe Fête Event Planning and Design Studio / Photography: Ambrosio Photography

Here's more about the shoot from the lovely and talented Nathalie -

This concept photoshoot is our interpretation of an urban love story. We sought to design something industrial yet ethereal, glamorous yet raw, and something just plain ole' pretty. The minute I knew we were designing something with an urban flavor is the minute I knew we had to do it at The Nuage Studio. The Nuage Studio is 6,000 square feet of bare open walls, high ceilings and smoky gray elements - perfect to ground the pretty and girly elements we wanted to play with. All of this in MIAMI.

While touring the space we fell in love with their tall, stark white crocodile-textured royal table and high back sofas. We paired the table with Kartell inspired bar stools because (a) they are sleek and (b) they allow you to absorb the open space, a feeling we definitely wanted to invoke. One of my favorite elements is the natural cracks in the concrete floor. Something haunting about them, something beautiful about them, something real.

To soften the design, we paired beautiful pink peonies and roses with rough edges like chipped mirror containers, cracked goblets and crocodile-textured furniture. We then tried to infuse glamour by incorporating a grouping of three fabulous floor sized Venetian mirrors and an amazing modern chandelier from Modani. Textured linens, like a deconstructed rosette, a micro sequined, the classic pintuck and a super-fab Flokati rug in the lounge area tied everything together so romantically. Mirrors + Pink Peonies + a Loft Space = URBAN PRETTINESS.

Marie-Antoinette Style Fantasy

Sometimes you come across some pictures, that just make you want to run out and dress up, that’s what happened when I saw these heavenly pictures by Julia Boggio, shot in romantic eighteenth century opulence of Marie-Antoinette, its elegant, feminine, and pretty, perfect for registration inspiration.
And if you like the lavish jewellery. It’s from magpie vintage, and I’ll be showing you more of their bespoke jewellery very soon.

Big thanks to ace wedding photographer Julia Boggio for allowing me to use these pictures www.juliaboggiophotography.com

Julia is also famous for having recreated the dance from Dirty Dancing at her wedding. The resulting You Tube video has had over 8 million views, with Julia and James appearing on Richard & Judy, BBC Breakfast, GMTV, Sunrise TV in Australia and The Oprah Winfrey Show in the US, where Julia danced with Patrick Swayze.

Eat, Pray, Love!

Have you seen the movie Eat Love and Pray?

I’ve read the book which I loved and that maybe the reason I haven’t seen it. Seldom do the film adaptations live up to the book. But I’m having second thoughts after having seen these pictures.

Especially as it was the movie that inspired, the very creative Dionne of - City of Dionne, to have a lunch based on themes in the film. In the movie Julia Roberts who plays the main character spends time in Italy, India and Indonesia and does eat, pray and love!

I quite liked this idea for a mendhi or sangeet, which can be more informal, with having the guest on brightly colored cushions, with low lights.

Flickering candles set the mood

Rich Colours

How about taking your guests on a culinary tour: Starter from Indonesia - Satay.

Mains from India – Curry, Naan. Dessert from Italy - Pannacotta, Tiramisu.

Give an exotic feel with far flung flowers like Water Lilly, Lotus, Lilly, Orchid, Frangipani, and Gardenia.

Again just some ideas, It’s merely a case of incorporating, some ideas like fabrics, colours and flower, which could be done with any of your favourite films but remember less is more and this is especially true of a wedding.

Thanks to Dionne - http://notesfromdionne.blogspot.com for allowing to me use her pictures via project wedding.

One Lump or Two - A Decadent Afternoon Tea

As soon as I clapped eyes on these gorgeous pictures I knew I had to share them. Dripping in opulence I can see why its been called A Decadent Afternoon Tea.

I love the ambiance that’s been created and it’s been captured so well, it maybe afternoon tea but the ideas translates to wedding fantastically.

THINK - candles, rich berry, pale gold and pastel colours, blush pink peonies, lavender roses, old school glamour, fine china, crystal, stately home, up dos for the ladies, black tie for the men.

That’s just some ideas but you get the point, It really is all about the fine detail.
