The Wedding Pics

So I went and had a screening of our photos last week. All up, Im pretty pleased (still wishing I did a hairstyle, but I KNOW, had I done a deconstructed side braid or knot- I would be wishing I wore my hair out! Still... a wave or a curl or something!? haha) ALL GOOD :)

So what has struck me about the photographer's photos (apart from how insanely expensive they are/ how not accessible the digital files are! I wish I understood all this properly in advance... I thought at the least I would have my low res web gallery for facebook blah blah- well, nah.. it's all got watermarks!)

Anyways Im about to start working on our album and Im planning to compile from far and wide, basically there is A LOT of Nick and I (I refuse to show anyone any of the 10000000 photos photographer wanted where we're we're sharing a kiss!). There is barely any at reception or of other people. I know it's OUR wedding, but I feel like the other people, atmosphere (which was fun, buzzy and boozey!) is missing from these pics. Plus there's only so many times I can see myself with that headpiece and dress on!

Oh well, I am super happy that I can now move on from the wedding! No more thinking about accessories/ cardigans/ boleros/ changing dresses (nb. i have a whole wardrobe of unworn expensive, and every pearl piece of jewellery Mimco has released this year!) I was delighted to walk past Alannah Hill this week without any urge to run in and check on their beaded cardis!

Oh my, Lauren Moffatt

I don't want to overstate things, but it's quite possible that I may have stumbled across my favourite collection of ALL TIME.

Lauren Moffatt's Spring 2011 Collection, The Honeymooner. !!! It's ... breathtakingly adorable!

I would wear every single piece of this collection with absolute pleasure and abundant joy!

BACKETY BACK!!

A LOT has happened since my last post. I got married a few weeks ago! Im awaiting the arrival of our photo web gallery, at which point I'll document in proper detail. In the meantime...

Woowee- Mr & mrs!

It was a beautiful day (freak occurance with the weather- one week earlier it was the repeat of the Grand final, the following two weekeneds in a row apparently it poured like crazy with thunderstorms!)

We had a wonderful ceremony at the Registries, a beautiful reception at comme.

After much deliberation and four dresses, I decided to go with the Alannah Hill dress.

I had the Collette Dinnigan right until the last minute... it was a beautiful boho broderie anglaise number, but it was so boobie- that I decided last minute it wasn't me.

I definitely aimed for the cas, daytime bridal look.

In some ways I felt like I looked like I was going to work (ran out of time for makeup & hair- seriously!! Can you imagine!?) Anyways now I've decided to just embrace it all and not worry.
Everyone had a great day, I don't think they cared about my lack of illuminator or straight hair!)

I didn't expect the headpiece to be the size it was (in fact the photographer recoiled in... surprise? when it was pulled out of the box!) Anyways Fleur the florist in Armadale did a beautiful job, I am very happy in retrospect I chose fresh flowers. It weighed a tonne and I felt like I had a few kilos on my head for the next few days.

Here I am with my brother & the headpiece.

My friend, Georgie's, beautiful floral wristpiece. The flowers were amazing.

My handsome husband pre ceremony.

My mum did the flowers at the reception, me thinks the stress almost killed her!
In fact I think I recall her saying she would never take on such a task again!


And we finished off the amazing day with insanely intoxicated "kick on drinks" at the Palmz.

Yes, here is how the bride looked by the wee hours...

Glam indeed.

Then, Lps and I split Melbourne immediately for a Honeymoon across Mexico. Amazing.

I need to do the official breakdown posts... sorting through the photos is an ominous task!

We were delayed four days in LA due to this Qantas A380 fiasco. Whilst we did get a bit of sightseeing done, and made it to a party in North Hollywood- but with the flu, no luggage, no cosmetics, no clothes and dirty hair- things could have been a lil more enjoyable!
