Bridal Expo

Last Thursday afternoon I made a quick trip to the city……I had just returned from Melbourne on Monday, worked Wednesday then filled my car with fuel and I was off again. (The city is 300 kms from the farm house so it’s not really just a short drive!!) I was going to join my son, his fiancé and her mother to attend a Bridal Expo which was being held at the yacht club where we have booked their wedding. We had the opportunity to taste wine and champagnes from four different wineries and also do a taste test of all the food available. We were able to make our choices from the yummy food we sampled. The tables had all been set with wonderful flower arrangements by various florists just for the night. As you will see, the styles are just so varied, all gorgeous but all a little different. We had such a lovely evening…we are all so excited and can hardly wait for the 7th of March to arrive!!














I’m sorry some of these photos are a little blurry but I quickly snapped them with my phone before too many other ‘guests’ arrived. I really love the tall autumn display – it was very tall and really spectacular. I think we are heading more towards white flowers which I’m sure will be just perfect! I do have a bit of a dilemma though….my future daughter-in-law has invited me to come look at her wedding dress but I’m not sure that I want to see it before the ‘big day’!! She thinks I’m crazy waiting for the wedding day but as yet I’m still undecided. Over the next few months I’ll make my decision.  I was so thrilled she has included me with all the planning and sharing her wedding dress with me.

Here comes the bride...

Hoping you are all having a lovely relaxing Sunday...I have just returned from a quick trip down to the south - west region of Western Australia - our wonderful wine growing country!!  I attended my girlfriend's daughters wedding (got that!). It was the most perfect afternooon - after all the terrible hot weather we have had it was so lovely to feel a little chilly. As I expected my friend J did a wonderful job of coordinating the whole day to perfection. The bride was absolutely stunning in ivory and the attendants wore a beautiful grape colour - just stunning. All the table decorations and floral arrangements were in off-white and pinks - my favourite colors!!

This is part of a beautiful display J had made for the bridal table - it was about 3ft long!

J had covered these vases with tulle then tied them with pink ribbon before filling them with beautiful flowers - such a shabby chic look!

This wonderful love heart was in the foyer of the reception centre - just a hint of what's to come....

Isn't this the most gorgeous wedding cake??? I just lurve it (and it tasted as good as it looks!)
