Weddings

I had the pleasure to be a guest at Leah and Andrew's Wedding, a divine garden wedding celebrated in the historical village of Bangalow just 20mins from the seaside town of Byron Bay you will find both this eclectic towns in Northern NSW Australia.
Leah with the help of her mother Janet co-ordinated and designed the wedding, with her brilliant organisational skills and sublime good taste, is the integral ingredient, to the success of this magnificent vintage inspired wedding.
As all brides Leah looked exquisite in a classic unadulterated wedding dress, the bridesmaids each had individual designed dresses as well as, they were given the opportunity to choose their dress, thus they both looked relaxed and beautiful without having to wear something they would not normally wear.   





























Janet had been collecting vintage teacups so she with the help of her mother in law Nell and secondhand shops and market stalls, she was in a position to supply this eclectic collection perfect for a vintage wedding.




White tables set at the entrance to the venue, again a stunning vintage collection of silver, class and crystal.




Leah and Janet again trawled secondhand shops and this beautiful collection of vintage glass and crystal resulting once-more in poetic vignette. Leah's was arranging the flowers the eveing before the wedding and very early the wedding day while Janet's handmade candles include another texter or layer in the composition..


















 Janet made all the candles from soy wax.









Petals to throw on the Bide and Groom were elegantly displayed again by Leah and once-more these artistic, {while not ostentatious} adeptness, contributed to the success of this beautiful spring wedding.

Black, White and Grey



White, Grey & Black


This week I'm using random shots to emphasise the colours of white, grey and black with the hope of giving you some ideas for your own decorating inspiration. These colours are hot in design right now, they can be used in a contemporary, industrial, beach to name a few with a dash of pink, turquoise, or yellow all trendy for hip decorating whether interior or exterior.

I have not blogged this week as I have had a weekend in the trendy town of Bangalow in Northern NSW Australia, I had the pleasure of attending a lovely garden vintage wedding. I will blog some of the photos of this stunning wedding, the weather was a perfect spring day. I also had a creative time making wedding sign and a vintage window into a menu board, so one thousand apologises.















 This staircase is poetic


Again I have added a natural concrete wall which has been stripped back whilst leaving remnants of the past history of previous paint, thus adds romance to the history of the building this is an excellent example of the inclusion of grey, black and white.



Painting a floor is a economical way of giving an immediate style statement and as it is walked on, the floor will get a used patina that will give interest and layers.



layers of  warm white and light grey add a coziness to an otherwise cold room.












Black adds depth to this lovely composition look at the very light use of yellow to stimulate the colour scheme.

I am in love with this dinning room well balanced with the long table juxtaposed against the height of the ceiling, ladder and train sign, also the use of complementary colours yellow and blue adds a little excitment to the room.

Luxurious and forbidden this room portrays to me" as this is just a small part of the room it would need to be a very large room with a high ceiling as not to feel overwhelming.

Today I'm featuring a house in Mexico, this is what I would call a Post Modern Adobe style, it still has the square adobe shape with the moorish influence from Spain such as the tiles and the arch. I am not a big fan of Post Modernism but this is a tasteful example of appropriation from traditional Mexican Adobe to a 21st century adobe which I still believe fits into the industrial theme I am covering this week.


TURQUOISE, ORANGE & GREY 










This building has mostly a square shape walls, windows, pavers and roof line this places the clever  use of a round port hole window in total contrast, this perspective  shows how geometrical shapes influence the overall appearance of the building and without this window it would lack interest and thus gives the house balance. The use of the circle features subtly throughout this amazing architecturally designed house.























Again the use of circles to balance out the square lines such as the tiles bookshelf doors etc
