In a world of screens and instant messages, tangib In a world of screens and instant messages, tangible pieces still hold magic.⁠
⁠
Summer weddings, engagement parties, and holiday celebrations are full of moments to remember, and physical stationery is one of the first.⁠
⁠
Invites, menus, place cards… the pieces you can keep. The pieces your guests can treasure. A little paper, a little ink, and a whole lot of memory. Dive into the full article by @forkeepsillustration for all your tangible media inspo.⁠

It means choosing details that feel like *you*.⁠

It means embracing creativity over convention.⁠
⁠
Isabel + Jack’s colourful Harvester Moon celebration shows just how stunning DIY can be: full of farm-fresh florals, handmade touches, a cake baked by the couple, and details filled with personality. ⁠

Proof that a wedding crafted from the heart can shine just as brightly!⁠

⁠’Tis the season for surprise picnics, nervous ⁠’Tis the season for surprise picnics, nervous pockets… and engagement ring shopping. ⁠
⁠
So today, we’re revisiting one of our favourite @thefeelgoodweddingpodcast episodes: an easy, practical guide to choosing the ring.⁠
⁠
We’re joined by Melbourne jeweller @jasminefraserjewellery, who has spent over 16 years handcrafting custom pieces and helping couples navigate the world of diamonds, metals, styles, ethics, and budgets.⁠
⁠
Inside this episode we talk:⁠
💎 Custom vs ready-made⁠
💎 Diamond clarity vs cut vs colour⁠
💎 Ethical sourcing⁠
💎 Surprises (good ones!)⁠
💎 Remodelling and redesigning⁠
💎 Proposals that don’t involve a ring just yet⁠
⁠
If proposals are on your mind this holiday season, let this guide be your starting point.⁠
⁠

[Image description: ⁠A navy graphic. At the top is white text that reads "Episode 15: The Engagement Ring Guide With Jasmine Fraser" Below is a photo of Jasmine. She is looking to the side in front of a white wall. She wears a black and white striped long-sleeve top and a grey apron with the Jasmine Fraser Jewellery logo embroidered onto it.⁠
⁠
In the bottom right hand corner is a graphic of a microphone in white, with hearts of pink and red coming out the top left. and the podcast logo. White text in the centre of the graphic reads "I think the biggest thing is you want to find someone that you feel comfortable with and that you trust, that you can work with. Especially with a custom piece, I say a little bit of my soul goes into that piece. You’d want to have that connection with the client. I think it’s equally as important for the client as it is for the jeweller because I think when you have that connection, you want to create something amazing for them."]⁠
