Cocktails!

Aren’t cocktails fun? You can personalize, colourise and customize them just like all great details in your wedding. But can we move on from the Cosmo? And the Mojito? Yes, they are good (really good actually!) but you can personalize, colourise and customize!
What are your wedding colours? Did you take a holiday and find a new favourite drink?
You can find or create new cocktails to reflect your personalities and experiences or just create an atmosphere. Some cocktails and punches can be lower in alcohol or non alcoholic but still fun and there is one for everyone...............



Is your Husband-to-be an Absolute Hunk? Then Absolute Vanilla, simple syrup, fresh lime and a splash of pineapple juice is your man!



Do you want a Kiss on the Lips? I bet you do! Peach schnapps, Mango puree and Grenadine is the job for you!

Having your wedding on a lovely fall/Autumn evening? Warm up your guests with an Apple Pie Punch. Apple juice, Apple Cider, Cinnamon sticks and Vodka. Yum!



And for you, a Blushing Bride. Peach schnapps, Champagne and Drop of Grenadine!
Enjoy and experiment!

What we do

I love magazines. So pretty and glossy. However I am aware – as everyone should be, that the editorials and many of the articles are paid for by the advertisers so they are very biased with their recommendations. Therefore I was surprised and delighted to read the article in the Autumn edition of Wedding Journal magazine about Leo Callow, a wedding coordinator, who attempted to clear up the misconceptions of what we as Wedding Planners and Coordinators actually do for our couples and that we really can save them money.
I know there is a recession on (hate that word) and some people think a wedding coordinator is an additional expense. It is not. A good wedding coordinator can not only keep you on or under your budget but save you money by coming up with creative ways to fulfill your dream instead of just shelling out for it.
A wedding coordinator will keep you focused and I speak for most of us (I hope) that we can look at a budget and what is allocated to each item and pick out what can be done for less and what may cost a bit more.
These days when money is tighter most couples need this service all the more. Making a wedding fabulous is easily done as long as it reflects the couple getting married. Your happiness, your loves, your quirks and what is important to you. Your family and friends will recognize that and that is what makes the perfect wedding. Not how much you spend on it.
Leo said in the WJ article, 'People are motivated by laughter and friendship, that feel-good factor. That's what a wedding should achieve. That sense of happiness, love and togetherness.' Well done Leo, I couldn't have said it better!

Live, Love, Laugh and Dream!

Lehr & Black wedding invitations

Can I just take a moment to fantasize?
I love paper products so invitations are obviously one of my favourite things to do with weddings. You can be soo creative with them!
Take a look at these. I am just speechless with how stunning and detailed they are. Lehr & Black have designed the wedding invitations for Britney & Kevin, Eva & Tony, Gwen & Gavin and Ashlee & Pete to name a few.
Have a peek and take the inspiration and run with it because the cost? If you have to ask you can’t afford it.



Love this one!
