MOOD BOARD MONDAYS

Happy Monday everyone! We thought we would start off our Mondays with a bang and create an inspiring mood board to start the week. Collecting your favourite ideas will help bring your wedding vision to life. Here we used  gorgeous images from Real Weddings that we love to help create a romantic lakeside theme.

THAT LITTLE TOUCH

Whether it be your favourite lollies in brown bags, flowers peeking out of antique drawers or a big bunch of sunflowers in a colourful bucket…the little things can make a big difference on your wedding day.

PLATE UP

The picture design on this vintage plate is so sweet. If you are willing to go on a crockery hunt they can be used as a lovely alternative. x

Hot Winter Finds – new venues, food & styling ideas

SPONSORED BLOG

Many brides hold out for the sunshine to host their special day but you can be rest assured that in colder months Ed Dixon Food Design is thinking of you everywhere we go.

Our event management team is searching every corner of Melbourne, and some great country and coastal hot spots, in an effort to find you the perfect wedding venue.  We now have over sixty spaces on our growing list.  Check out our brand new website for further details www.eddixonfooddesign.com

Unlike in summer when our weekends are jam packed with the excitement of producing weddings, we find time in winter to re-charge our creative batteries.  In the name of menu research we are wining and dining at the newest restaurants, cafes, providores and markets – it is a hard job but someone has to do it!  We are also out and about at art, craft and design exhibitions and reading the latest design blogs, magazines and books. The creative minds at EDFD are simply buzzing with inspiration we can’t wait to share with you.

Our passionate quest to find all that is new and exciting in the world of design, wedding styling and food is an important part of our job – no wonder we love what we do!

Little White Dish

There isn’t anything more wonderful than a great coffee cup, and a gorgeous quality bowl. It makes the contents taste somewhat more delicious!

Little White Dish pieces are all handmade from french porcelain and are quite soft in
detail and shape. Many of them feature text, which is a lovely way to
personalise gifts.
