Our wedding day part 1 - prep
Earlier this year I got married and as promised I said I'd share the whole experience with you all. These posts have been a long time in the making but I've finally gotten them done!! I blame newly married life lol. I'll be splitting our wedding day into a few posts as there's just so much to cover so be prepared! And yes it's such a cliche but it truly was the most amazing and happiest day of our lives. We had such an absolute blast sharing our special day with our nearest and dearest family and friends. We got engaged in November 2011 and planned our wedding over an 18 month period which I think was fantastic as it gave us plenty of time to plan, organise and save up to make our day exactly how we wanted it.
Our theme for our wedding was "modern Asian" and we couldn't have achieved it without the services of our amazing vendors. I'll do a separate post on them afterwards but I have to give a special mention from the start for Anni Lam and her amazing team from Colour 18 Wedding (Shop 3, 431 Sussex St, NSW 2000) who were absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to make our wedding amazing!
I hope my posts will be helpful for Sydney brides as I didn't really find all that much info relevant for Sydney brides when we were researching. Weddings can be so confusing with SO much stuff aimed at brides that is really quite unnecessary! We didn't follow those guides that say "Oh it's 6 months before your wedding you need to order your shoes" etc as we did lots of things out of order. But of course they're helpful to check that you haven't missed anything ;) I love love LOVE reading about weddings and I hope you'll all enjoy my posts =) If you don't it's all good and just come back tomorrow then!!
For my wedding series posts there'll be a mix of professional photos by our absolutely amazing photographers Joel and Renata from Tealily Photography and some pics my bridesmaids and I took (watermarked ones).

I have such an insane amount to catch up on including reviews, wedding posts and an awesome offer for my Aussie readers from next week. Thank you to all my lovely (and patient!) readers for putting up with my erratic posting over the last few months. Life has calmed down and I'll be getting back to posting regularly once more!

Sweethearts.
A few weeks back D and I traipsed around the city for our engagement shoot with the awesome Joel from Tealily Photography. We wanted something different from the usual engagement shoots at the beach/park etc and went for a "date night" theme. We walked from Martin Place down to The Rocks and stopped along the way for snaps.
Words cannot describe how absolutely blown away and in love with our photos I am and I thought I would share a few!

A destination wedding
I love weddings. Of course I'm biased because I'm about to get hitched myself (so it's all I can think about!!) but there is something about them that makes you feel all fuzzy and warm inside. D and I had the pleasure of attending his friend P & L's wedding in Bali at the start of the month. Because it was so close to our wedding, we weren't sure we'd be able to go but in the end we were lucky enough to be able to make it. It's not everyday you get invited to a gorgeous destination wedding!
The wedding was held at the amazing Ayana Resort and Spa which is located in Jimbaran, Bali. It is SERIOUS luxury - I am talking the stuff of dreams! Breathtaking ocean views, luscious tropical gardens, gorgeous villas and not to mention the world famous Rock Bar. I think my jaw literally dropped when I got there.
P & L booked the beautiful AYANA villa for their wedding. 3 bedrooms, pool, spa, luscious grounds and an amazing view. Locations simply don't get much better!
D and I! I wore a gorgeous maxi dress from George that I hired from Glam Corner and I felt like a million bucks in it even though it was 30 something degrees and my face was sweating off!
Shots from their pre-wedding shoot:
L walking down the aisle:
Married!
The night ended with surprise fireworks!
Unfortunately I didn't get any good shots at the reception because I was far too busy stuffing my face haha! The weather behaved perfectly for them so we got to celebrate outside under the stars. Just magical! It was absolutely amazing - so so blessed to have been a part of it all.
I hope you like these more personal posts ;) I don't have much time for makeup and the like just at the moment unfortunately. Thanks for looking as always!

A weekend filled with love
Hello ladies! It seems like it's been aaaaaages since I last blogged! Not only has work been crazy over the last week, but this weekend D and I had the pleasure of attending the weddings of 2 of D's friends. I LOVE weddings - be it big, small, fancy or simple I love them all. As long time readers will know, D and I got engaged last year (you can peep my post about it here!) and we're slowly starting to plan ours! We had so much fun this weekend it makes me even MORE excited to party at ours =)
The first wedding we attended was T & G's which was held in Terara (about 2 hours drive from Sydney) on Friday afternoon. It was kind of a hassle having to trek out of Sydney but boy oh boy was the venue amazing! It was held at a private estate with the most stunning grounds but sadly I didn't take any good shots but trust me it was spectacular. The whole wedding was just absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The vintage theme was perfect and every last detail was utter perfection!
A short civil ceremony was followed by canapes in the garden while the happy couple took photos. Such a fantastic idea and the food was so yummy!
Table with their wishing well and gorgeous chandelier lights and flowers.
The amazing marquee and the gorgeous vintage settings. LOVE ♥ If D and I were going to have our reception Western style I would so want it to be like this!
How freaking gorgeous huh??!!!!
The gorgeous table setting! No pics of the food as I was the only female on the table and the boys literally WOLFED the food down haha. It was soooooo yummy though!
The second wedding was of D's childhood friend H and P on Saturday. They had a beautiful church ceremony which was very emotional and there wasn't a dry eye in the church.
But it wasn't all emotional as they followed the ceremony with a rocking reception. I didn't take many photos unfortunately because we were having WAY too much fun partying! The dance floor went OFF by the end of the night!
The food!
Both weddings had photobooths so of course D and I had to get in on the fun! We are SO having a photobooth at our wedding next year xp
I haven't had such a fun time in a very long while! Both weddings were amazing and so much fun. I wish both happy couples all the best ^__^
I hope you all had a fabulous weekend =) As planning for our wedding comes along, expect to see some wedding related posts! Never fear though as my blog won't turn into a wedding blog ok! Thanks for looking as always =)
