Special Offer Ends Soon

Saturday, August 29, 2009
We're fast approaching the end of August which means, as I said earlier in the week, SPRING is here! My favourite time of year! It also means our special - 15% off bomboniere - ends on Monday! We've been running this special for almost three months and it's time to bring it to an end on 31st August. So get in quick if you're in the market for some favours for your wedding, christening or any other event. If you're unable to pop in to our store, we're more than happy to discuss options and complete orders via telephone or email.

Spring Weddings!

Monday, August 24, 2009
Spring is here! Well, not quite, but it feels like it... So warm today in Brisbane - a little early but I'm not complaining! And with the new season, come weddings!

We recently starting stocking these beautiful parasols from Execukids. Available in sizes for ladies and little girls, in ivory or white. Perfect for a spring wedding! Or perhaps you're saying your vows a little later, in Summer... then these are perfect for making your outdoor photography session a little more pleasant in the summer heat - and they add a cute touch to wedding photos!

Until next time...

Precious gifts for babies

Wednesday, August 19, 2009



I just love these baby keepsakes by Sterling Baby Company. They're based in Brisbane and make the most gorgeous, delicate sterling silver jewellery, spoons and rattles - beautiful gifts for baby! They even make matching jewellery for mum. Such a beautiful idea, and I'm very pleased that we've recently added these products to our range. I've recently been invited to a christening, so I know what I'll be giving as a gift!

Another new blog template...

Monday, August 17, 2009
Ok, so we have another new "look"! I know it's a rather standard template but I think sometimes simple can be good. Promise this will be the last change for a while! I'm sorry if I'm confusing everyone! Will eventually come up with something a little more pretty - when I learn how and have a little more time and patience!

Wedding Candles

Saturday, August 15, 2009
So many of our customers have been expressing their delight at the large, elegant wedding candles we have in-store. I need to take more photographs (and better quality photographs!) of our various designs, but here is one pic just to give you the idea. These tall, square-shaped candles are perfect for decorating a church alter for your wedding ceremony, or even just to display at home! They can also act as a modern alternative to traditional Orthodox wedding candles, if you're after a more simple, elegant style. We also sell and hire stands to hold them. And if you don't like any of our decorating ideas for the candles, you can add your own touches, or simply use an undecorated candle for a truly minimal look!

New blog template etc...

Sunday, August 9, 2009
New blog layout! Hope you like it.

I'm in the process of making a big list - things that need to be prepared for the upcoming Ideal Bride and Formal Expo. We'll be there, showing off some of our lovely products - in particular - wedding bomboniere!

While I'm thinking of it, I will unfortunately have to close our shop a few hours early on Friday 11th September, in order to travel to the RNA Showgrounds in Brisbane and set up our display for the Expo, which opens that evening. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause - it just can't be helped on that particular day I'm afraid, as I have no one else available then to look after things for me back at base camp. Closing time is yet to be confirmed. I need to work a few things out!

We'll be open on the Saturday morning from 9am as usual and my darling husband will be looking after the store while I'm out "expo-ing"!

Enough for now... Will check back in during the week, with hopefully something a little more inspiring and creative to share!
