Aw, some things really are far too beautiful not to share – and this gorgeous assortment of flowers by Naked Bouquet is one of those things! I’m a little in love with Kiana’s stunning collection of beakers, cylinders and flasks, they really do make the most perfect vases and would be absolutely stunning for any wedding table decor or simply just having around your home – plus how lovely is her chalkboard of flowers to show what was used? Be sure to take a peek at her beautiful blog, it’s beyond gorgeous!

Oh and I’m beyond proud and excited to finally be able to share with you that there is a Made From Scratch recipe card is in this months gorgeous Sample Bar pack. If you haven’t heard of Sample Bar, each month they send out a gorgeous collection of luxury products to try, all of which are a complete surprise – it really is too lovely for words! x

 Oh, I hope everyone had a lovely lazy weekend rugged up inside while the rain fell over the weekend – I secretly adore weekends where it rains the whole time, it’s the perfect time to catch up on doing nothing. You may remember me prepping for this crumble that I made last week – it’s beyond delicious and wonderfully simple to make which is absolutely perfect for chilly winter evenings! I hope you all have a lovely weekend planned, I’m hosting my Ruffle Class at Studio 46 this Wednesday evening which I’m beyond excited about! x

Bridal Shower Inspiration | Hello-MayHappy Friday everyone, I hope you’ve all had a wonderful week so far! I’m so excited to share this incredible Bridal Shower that was featured on the stunning Hello May recently. From the delicious cakes and treats, macaron towers, little moss bunnies, wreath DIY’s, recipe card favours and the most perfect table settings and venue,  this would be such a wonderful shower to throw for a beautiful bride to be! I’m a little in love with the pink flamingo on the front porch – it’s just so gorgeous! x

I hope everyone had a wonderfully relaxing cozy long weekend – winter really has settled in, so I thought it would be the perfect timing to share one of the most beautiful weddings from summer to help brighten the day! I’m so excited to share Hayley and Heath’s amazing Raglan wedding with you – I could hardly believe my eyes when Coralee first showed me these photos, they’re just so beautiful! Photographed by the insanely talented Coralee and Alex, Hayley and Heath’s wedding really is everything you’d want from a summer wedding, the boys firing shot guns before getting ready, picnics, first looks, incredible scenery and of course saying I do on the beach before watching the sunset over Raglan – it’s all just too perfect! You can see more of this beautiful wedding here, plus how could I not mention their gorgeous Rottweiler Kal, who proudly wore a sign around his neck announcing that “My humans are getting married”, how gorgeous is that! x

long-weekendsLong weekends really are just so wonderful, they’re the perfect time to catch up on things around the house that normally get neglected – or simply just relaxing and catching up on doing nothing, that extra day off is total bliss! We’ve had a lovely long weekend so far, it’s been full or lazy long mornings, brunch at farmers markets, dinner up with wonderful friends, doing odd jobs around the house, catching up on a few lovely blogs and of course spending a few hours here and there on pinterest! Here are a few of my favourite things from our lazy long weekend. x

Doing

I’ve been busy prepping a few goodies for the gorgeous terrarium class at Studio 46 tomorrow night, I love putting together special treats for people, it’s so relaxing and rewarding. We’ve also been hanging a few new pieces around the home, I’m lucky enough to own a few gorgeous Rifle Paper Co. prints so they’ve finally found a lovely new home on our walls – which of course I’ll share once done.

Reading

There are two blogs that I’ve been pouring over all weekend, The Design Chaser is second to none for beautiful home decor inspiration – you simply must take a peek, it’s beautiful! And of course, the stunning new issue of Lovely Wedding Magazine has just come out and it’s as beautiful as ever – both are just so so lovely to read while curled up on the couch with a warm cup of tea!
