The morning of…

You may have noticed a little bit of a delay between instalments of the wedding blogathon, sorry about that! I have three very good reasons:

• I have been busy collecting photos of the day from our guests
• I have had food poisoning
• We just got a new kitten (his name is Sirius and he is the sweetest, most gorgeous baby – I’ve got some photos on instagram if you want to check him out) 

See, good reasons, right??

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me. Today I bring to you our preparations on the morning of the wedding. 

Before the big day…

I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to drag the wedding recap out a little – it’s just so much fun re-living it all. :)

The day before the wedding was a hive of activity. We went and met with the staff at the venue, and then started on the reception flowers. I decided to DIY the flowers to save a bit of money, and all up they only cost me around $400 – bargain! 

Pretty in Polaroid – September Short Projects

This project is all about photos, and their best friend, Photoshop. Polaroid and Instagram-style photos are all the rage at the moment, with some stores (I’m looking at you, Kikki K) offering to print your pictures in this style for an exorbitant price – I’ve seen places quoting $10 for 10 photos. I used to work in a photo printing centre, so I knew I could do better than that.

R U OK?

Fair warning: I’m about to get a little bit personal here.

Today is R U OK? day, an initiative aimed at preventing suicide, and generally keeping an eye out for your friends, family, co-workers and acquaintances who might be going through a rough time. On R U OK? day, everyone is encouraged to reach out and ask people a very simple question – are you ok?
