Colour Poppies

We’re in love with the bright colour’s, delicate petals and quirky element of beautiful poppies…

Hydrangea inspired

We loved the hydrangea cupcakes from yesterday so much that we found a hydrangea inspired inspiration board, featuring light blue, purple and graphite grey, from My Personal Artist. Of course hydrangeas come in a variety of colours, not just blues and purples, but everything from creamy whites to yellowy greens and pinky reds. So if you’re planning of using hydrangeas in your wedding you have a whole rainbow of colours to choose from.

Hydrangea cupcakes

These beautiful hydrangea inspired cupcakes come from Glorious Treats. So pretty – and so realistic! Click here to see how it was done, with step by step guides to follow if you feel like baking up a flower storm.

“Where words fail, music speaks”

These vintage paper roses are so sweet, and using sheet music gives them a classic touch. They’re available from etsy.com, and if you just can’t get enough of this musical theme, visit realweddings.com.au for all the photos from our music notes feature in our latest issue.

Lovely table

Another idea for Valentine’s day is a romantic dinner for two, complete with your own gorgeous table setting and centrepieces – we love this setting, found on Elizabeth Anne Designs. It has a sweet country feel to it and you can just imagine sitting outdoors on a balmy summer night sharing dinner with your loved one. Bliss!

Happy Australia Day

Real Weddings would like to wish everyone a Happy Australia Day for tomorrow! Hope you have an enjoyable day, relaxing with family and friends….perhaps reading the latest issue of Real Weddings in the sunshine.

And for a little bit of ‘Australia Day styling’ we couldn’t go past this colourful tablesetting by the Sea Circus in Bali. So vibrant with aqua and gold furnishings, set off by vintage tin cans for vases.

Love it!

Pretty Paper

As a tribute to the gorgeous paper-wonderland wedding of Catherine and Nicks wedding in the latest issue of Real Wedding Style, we wanted to provide a little paper-inspiration for your day..!


We love a romantic song as much as the next person and this paper template is a divine accent to any wedding decor…..! Have it backed to your chosen colour theme and place it near the front door of your reception to welcome your guests with a little taste of a romantic song…!


This table has so much beauty in paper and flowers… from the gorgeous sprinkling of spring colours, the paper flowers hanging from the ceiling as well as duplicated in the serviette rings, the colours compliment and enhance a beautiful and simple setting. We say “Welcome spring..!”
