Vera Wang, Jimmy Choo, beautiful blue skies, stunning sandy shores of Kona-Kohala Coast Hawaii, pretty pictures by Kenneth Lim Photography? If that’s not the beginnings of a gorgeous wedding, I just don’t know what is. This wedding has got me aching to book a ticket and hop on the next plane to go and experience the beauty of Hawaii. The splashes of pink and hints of blue and red against the green Hawaiian surroundings are totally swoon-worthy… and let’s be real, any couple who sport colourful Converse shoes on their wedding day is totally cool in my books. I love that the bride swapped her Jimmy Choos for a pair of red Converse!

From Kenneth of Kenneth Lim Photography, “with the bride being from New York (my hometown) and the groom from Australia, I know Ming and Nick considered A LOT of different destinations before deciding on Hawaii. And after arriving on the Big Island, I could see why – nowhere else in world have I seen blue skies, endless ocean, sea turtles in sand, lush greenery and barren volcanic ash all in one place. But above the beautiful location, I know that more than anything the couple really just wanted their guests to mingle and enjoy themselves. Which was easy come wedding day because everyone had spent the prior day together on a chartered boat partying and snorkeling with dolphins! I had an absolute blast being a part of the whole weekend and Ming and Nick have since earned roles as consultants for my OWN wedding planning!”

Thank you Kenneth for sharing this wonderful wedding with me! Xx

Happy Friday peachies! How was your week? Hope you’ve all had a good one! Mine has been really relaxing. My ankle and back are finally slowly recovering (yes, to say I’m injury prone would be an understatement) so things are returning to some normalcy which is nice. There’s not excuse to lay around in bed now though! I’m determined to go back to the gym now that I’m okay to and I know it will be super hard given my rather long hiatus but like I said, I’m determined. I think I’ll start this weekend… I’ll let you know how it goes *wink*. The hubby and I haven’t been the healthiest of late so we’re pretty determined to turn that around especially since Summer is around the corner and that means bikini season – the horror! So I plan on starting my fitness regime this weekend. What about you peachies? What are you up to this weekend? Staying healthy I hope!

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the tradition of having ‘something blue’ on your wedding day and most often than not, that little bit of ‘something blue’ is just a touch of blue added to the bride’s wedding day ensemble, like the garter for instance. But I’m thinking why limit it to that? Why not incorporate the ‘something blue’ throughout your entire wedding? ‘Something blue’ stands for purity, love and fidelity after all and those words encompass everything that a marriage is all about. Plus, wouldn’t a colour palette of dusty blue, powder blue and berry pink be make-your-heart-skip-a-beat romantic? Add touches of lace, twine, throw in some vintage books and you’ll have yourself a soft and romantic vintage wedding with a touch of shabby chic. Pretty right?

I have a lot peachiness to share with you all today peachies! This peachy vintage wedding at Bees River in Hong Kong beautifully captured by Isa Photography had me at the word “peach”. There’s so much to love about this vintage inspired garden wedding – not only were Stephanie and Derek blessed by the weather gods, their wedding was chock full of DIY, the peach, cream and grassy green colour palette was to-die-for, the florals by J.F Floral Couture were absolutely divine and they even had two adorable ponies join in on their special day as well! Can I get a ‘high five’ or what?

Bride, Stephanie shares, “Derek proposed in a hotel room decorated with loads of balloons which i absolutely love and it was the 1,500^th day of our relationship!

“One of my bridesmaids is a designer so she designed the corsage for my bridesmaids and boutonnieres for our groomsmen. The boutonnieres were in the shape of a leaf with a few buttons added on to symbolise ‘tying the knot’.”

“One of my most memorable moments was when my mom helped me get dressed into my wedding gown.“

“I loved my soft bouquet of peach English Garden Roses bouquet with garden foliage in light green and white.”

“One of my favourites of the day were the overall environment of the venue and the perfect weather on the day.”

I’m really excited about today’s post because it’s just so darn pretty. I meant, what better way to kick off a Tuesday that with some vintage high tea inspirations chock full of pretty details that would be perfect for a bridal shower! Styled so perfectly by Aleisha of Pretty My Love (whom I was lucky enough to get to know at Blogshop Sydney), this high tea epitomizes all things feminine, sweet and dainty and I just love it. Plus, what’s not to love when you’re surrounded by so much creativity as well as gorgeous natural surroundings?

Aleisha shares, “the brief was vintage inspired and on the beach for sunset cocktails, giving me great freedom to let my imagination run free and design and surprise them with a concept perfect for their occasion. The colour scheme was inspired by the beach at sunset, with varying hues of pinks, blues, beige and white.”

“The table design was intended to create a luxurious setting with lace placemat runners over a wooden sawhorse legged table, crystal vases with roses and a range of royal tea cups and high tea tiered stands. Kellie had arranged a cake that was shaped and decorated as a vintage suitcase, so we hand-wrote guests names on luggage tags and attached to tea cups as place cards.”

“The drinks cart held a beverage dispenser where cocktails were served in handled mason jars with the prettiest floral striped straws and pink and white polkadot boxes for guests to fill with candy from the mini candy buffet.”

Thanks Aleisha for sharing this lovely high tea with me today. Hope to cross paths with you again soon! Xx

Just take a look at the collection beautifully photographed by Emme Wynn Photography – you’ll see what I mean in no time.

I hope you have your bibs handy peachies because I’m going to have you drooling before you get to the end of this post. I mean you’re probably drooling already after seeing those delish quail eggs! That is what happens when you’re faced with the mouthwatering deliciousness from ARIA Catering. You might even remember the gastronomic delight that was the wedding of Sydney’s Gourmet Forager which had my (and I’m sure your) stomach grumbling even after the first image… and trust me, I know first hand how fabulous the food by ARIA Catering is because I had them at our wedding!

Launched in November 2010 by Matt Moran and Peter Sullivan, ARIA Catering offers unique catering with the freshest of fresh seasonal produce for any event location in and around Sydney and is also the exclusive resident caterer at the Sydney Opera House. Whether you’re having a wedding in the park or a dinner party at home, ARIA is able to cater for your venue and location with their extensive menu.

With their extensive canape selection, I remember the hubby and I finding it extremely difficult to select only four for our guests to munch on at cocktails!

Most amazing of all – their range of food stations! I’m talking oyster bars, mezze stations, charcuterie stations, paella stations, risotto stations, cheese and fruit stations and dessert station! You’d most definitely find me as a permanent fixture in one of those lines.

So if you’re in need of a caterer for your wedding or next event, contact ARIA Catering here to discuss all things delicious.
