Wedding Dress - Jenni Kayne Dress


A while back I spotted this dress in Glamour Magazine from Jenni Kayne's Spring 2007 ready to wear collection, and noted that it's very close to what I'd want in a wedding dress.  

I'd want it in white, with scalloped lace at the neckline, sleeves and at the bottom, but otherwise it's near perfect, and so "me", I have so many tops and dresses in this shape!  I also love her quote "I'm not interested in anything I can't throw on the floor" - I agree completely!


Here is a shot of it from the runway.  The poor model's got a bit of what I'm going to call "hat in the face" but it's an otherwise great shot of the dress and it looks so comfortable, which is a top priority!


Here it is again in cream and a shorter length.  I think the construction will be simple (& I just got a referral to a great tailor, thanks Ci Ci!) but finding the right lace may take some time, I'm very picky with my lace!

Blog: Faye & Greer


A few images from another blog that I'm liking, Faye & Greer like this gorgeous sunset shot:


Loving the pink & orange from this Mexican/ Indian themed wedding:


Also loving the use of rosemary, pears and these yellow flowers... wish I knew what they type of flower they are?


Peonies


I have to admit I am obsessed with peonies!




Bouquets


While we're on the subject of bouquets, here are a few others I like:


I love this photo & not just because the bouquet is gorgeous!  It's the cover of a book called Southern Weddings, which I know nothing about but based on the cover I'm guessing is amazing!



Florist: Flowerwild


Here are some selections from Flowerwild that I think are really lovely:


I also really like this bouquet, so simple and pretty:
 


Florist: Holly Flora


Just discovered florist Holly Flora.  I love that she works with unusual vessels and organic flowers!


Blog: Style Me Pretty


Style Me Pretty has gorgeous wedding imagery, below are some of my favorite images from their website:



Candles in Jam Jars


I love the look of these candles in jam jars that I spotted on the knot.  Could be another inexpensive but pretty way to use candles at the wedding:


More Moroccan inspirations


Found another great company that also does Moroccan themed tents, furniture and accessories, this one just down the street from our our house - Mosaik Events. Here are some shots from their website that I'm loving:


Andy loves this shot with the lanterns along the walkway:


More great use of lanterns:


Love this party set up with the pool right there, so lush and green and romantic:


Another shot from the same event.  I love the candles lining the pool.  Never thought I'd say this but while I love this look below from the same party I'm wondering if it might be just a tad too much color with the draped fabric overhead?  


I'm really into the idea of an outdoor wedding but these tent interiors are stunning:


Some of their tents bare that are available to rent.  Maybe not a bad idea to get one (or two) if they're not too expensive:

 
I thought a scattering of jewel colored cushions (like the ones at Icebergs restaurant in Sydney) would be lovely and wasn't sure I would be able to find ones that were similar to rent, but these might do:
