Dinner is served

After a few false leads it looks like we may have a caterer for the dinner. A special friend of mine that does fabulous meals is meeting with me this week to bang out the details. It is going to be great and I get to introduce him to all my family! He has been keeping me fed at work for 15 years!

Flowers: Calla Lilies - My favourite so far

This is my favourite so far, I have some changes to make to it but will give this one a go and see what the bride says.

I am going to use some round floral beads that absorb water, pearls and rhinestones in the water instead of the stones you see here!

Cake inspiration from Bella Cupcakes

OMG I just found a very inspirational site: http://bellacupcakes.blogspot.com/

I downloaded some inspiration photos from her work in black and cream. Visit her site to see more colours!

Flowers: Calla Lilies

The bride loves calla lilies, they are exquisite but so hard to design with. I have been scouring the internet to find some easy, inexpensive ideas.

I did consider silk calla lilies for the tables but didn't find they looked as nice as real.

I will compile my inspirational photos in this thread and remove the ones I don't like as I go.

The Cake and Cupcakes

The cake is being designed and created by the lovely Rose Leworthy, cake maker extraordinaire and best friend of Kirby. She makes beautiful fondant creations.

The cake will consist on one round chocolate grooms cake and a pile of vanilla cupcakes.

They will follow the theme of the invitations, cream and black, circles and pearls.

Design to be determined by the invitation creation.

I am getting hungry just thinking about it!

Invitations

The wedding invitations are being designed by the creative crack team of my cousin the Stampin Up demonstrator Tammy Cutler and her lovely sister Megan Cutler. Their equally lovely sister Kirby Rowsell is on board too. Photos will be loaded when the samples are available.

These talented ladies will also be contributing to the hall decor. We are going for Cricut Chic!

The Wedding Colours, flowers & bling

The bride and groom have chosen an elegant cream and black colour scheme for their nuptials.

The recurring theme will be circles.

The flowers will be calla lilies.

The bride will wear pearls and rhinestones.

Planning the Nagasaka Wedding

Two special people are getting married in July, P & L. While helping plan their wedding I thought I would create a small blog to capture the wedding ideas so that the many helpers doing their party to make this special day happen can share their ideas.

Once the big day has arrived we can post photos of the celebration!

The posts will be random and in no particular order. Just going to throw everything here and watch the journey unfold.

Here we go!
