Friday Roundup

Photo from Caroline and Jame’s October Wedding by Kieran Parsons Photography

What a beautiful week it’s been- I had one of the most wonderful weeks this week and plan to escape to the country to toast to wonderful moments with dear friends (trust me though, after the marathon effort of Ikea-ing and moving offices I’m going to be soaking it up!) What have you been up to?

A busy week again on our specialty blogs, here’s a snapshot of them!

Around the wedding world this week….

The lovely Shannon of Little Flamingo Stationery has chosen the winner of her save the date giveaway!

The four winners are:

Nicole:
The “Carved Love” so represents who we are: High School Sweethearts with a love for each other and the environment! We plan to get married under a tree and we will be having an eco friendly wedding also with all Native Flowers. So this style falls right into place for us. Its a lovely idea for our guests to have that keepsake in their own garden that will have a long lasting impression of the day, our love for each other and an environmental message all in one.

Alysha:
I love design & typography so I think the Contemporary Monogram set would suit us the most, I like the long rectangle shape it come in too & the texture of the stock.
Thanks for introducing these guys to me & fingers crossed for the win as I’m having trouble finding the right STD cards & if were to win this I don’t have to worry about it anymore.

Carlien:
For me, little bird in a birdcage is the winner. It suits the birdcage decorations that I’ve bought to decorate the church and our venue. the image on the invites makes me think of pretty things, like birds, flowers and nature -exactly the theme I am going for with my wedding!

Lee:
‘Carved love invitation’ is the one for us!
We’re going with a tree theme and finding this one thanks to polka dot bride has confirmed that I will buy the carved heart vases I found online. They will match perfectly. Am so very excited!! : )

Congratulations to our winners! I will be in touch shortly!
