Sweet Rustic Farm WeddingHappy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a wonderfully lazy weekend. Is anyone else a little excited that the seasons are starting to change, even though we’re having the most wonderful summer ever I’m craving a little Autumn baking and curling up inside for a little bit. I could hardly believe my eyes when I stumbled upon this beautifully styled farm wedding by Ginny Branch, it has everything a party could want, beautiful favors, delicious sweet treats, beautiful flowers and of course the most gorgeous stacked pancake cake ever! I love that there is a perfect mix of pretty pastels and deep jewel tones throughout the whole setting – it’s simply stunning! x

Cheese Table | All the Frills

 Like almost everyone, I find it pretty impossible to wander past a dessert table – but a cheese table, oh my, I don’t think I would ever leave! How incredibly delicious and perfect is this cheese table that Mel from All the Frills styled for a recent party – I adore that she didn’t use flowers, instead rustic and beautifully sprigs of rosemary. Like every good cheese board, there is the perfect mix of something sweet (how amazing are the little pots of honey and large slices of honeycomb!) savoury, crunchy and of course an incredible selection of cheeses. When you’re next in need of a beautiful dessert or cheese table for your next soirée or wedding, be sure to get in touch with Mel her incredible attention to detail means she’ll create a night for you that you’ll never forget! x

Spring in Auckland is strange, one day it’s warm and sunny, the next it’s grey and freezing cold! Seeing as today is cold and gloomy, I thought that I would warm you all up with still ridiculously stunning rustic dessert table styled by Blush Flowers – everything is just so perfect and the vintage touches are to die for. How spoilt would you feel having this beautiful dessert table at your wedding or next special event – I could imagine everyone hovering protectively over their sweet vintage plate piled high with yummy treats, perfection really! x

Hello everyone, I hope that you all had a fantastic weekend we had a lovely break over the long weekend but it’s so lovely getting back into the swing of things. I was so excited when I stumbled upon Letitia and Kristian’s beautiful 50′s themed wedding photographed by the lovely Feather and Stone. I honestly can’t get enough of the style of their wedding, I adore that they had some of their photos taken at the local swimming pool and served some oh so sweet treats for their guests, plus how amazing is her dress! You can click here to see more of their stunning wedding, I promise you will adore it! x

 

Just over a week ago Ben and I and two very good friends of ours had the absolute pleasure of being invited to the re-opening of Abbeville Estate! Until I received the invite I had no idea that this amazing place even existed, tucked in just behind the hustle and bustle of the Auckland airport is the the beautifully calm and manicured gardens of Abbeville Estate – it comes complete with the sweetest little church, beautiful rustic barn and the most welcoming function room I have ever been to. The whole evening was perfect, from the attentive and kind wait staff too the most delicious array of food and sweet treats prepared by the very talented team at The Great Catering Company straight from the Estates delicious veggie garden. To any lovely couples who are starting their wedding planning, be sure to have a look at Abbeville Estate it will take your breath away. x
