Kate and Brendan – Wedding Yarra Ranges Estate

Kate and Brendan were married at Yarra Ranges Estate in Monbulk.  Kate arrived in a very cool car belonging to her dad which I have included photos of.  It did rain off and on but it never worried either of these to very go with the flow type of people.  It was a good day thanks for letting us be part of it.

The traditional wedding cake still makes an appearance every now and then. Today however, pretty much anything goes! Whatever your mind can conceive of can probably be made by your local wedding cake shop.

Some practicalities to consider in choosing your cake:

Wedding Cake Size & Shape

How many wedding guests are you expecting? Will there be people unable to attend that you would like to save some cake for? Come up with an accurate number to determine the size of your wedding cake. Round or square cakes are more likely to serve a larger number of guests and will be easy for your caterers to cut up. If you’re going for a more creative shape, make sure they’ll be enough wedding cake for everybody.

Wedding Cake Design

Wedding magazines and online wedding directories provide ample ideas for your cake design. Visit a few local wedding cake shops and bakers to see their style and examples of previous work. Also ask your married friends to recommend a wedding cake shop they have used and liked.

If your wedding is themed, your cake can be designed to match with complimentary colours or flowers similar to your bouquet. Wedding cake designers can even match the lace on your wedding gown.

When visiting your local wedding cake shop, take in a couple of your ideas to get a rough quote for your wedding cake. Remember, the more detailed and intricate your wedding cake design the more expensive it will be.

Wedding Cake Flavour

It looks fantastic… but does it taste good? How many weddings have you been to, and the wedding cake was less then appetizing. What a waste. Today the choice of flavours and combination of flavours is endless. If your fiancé likes chocolate and you like vanilla, you can have both! Or what about a delicious mousse filling! Talk to your baker about what they can do for you.

Ordering In Time

Ideally, book your wedding cake at least three to four months before your wedding. That way you won’t be running around at the last minute looking for a wedding cake shop to fit you in. If they’re a catering business as well, they will already be busy, so allow yourself plenty of time.

What’s the Colour Of Your Bridesmaid Dresses?

What’s the Colour Of Your Bridesmaid Dresses?

Your Lovely Bridesmaids
Bridesmaids are a significant part of the wedding party and when it comes to choosing their dresses one of the first thing a bride thinks is: “What colour am I going to have?”

But at the end of the day, when it comes to making your choice it’s about having colours that will suit with the body of the bridesmaids but also tie in with the overall them of your wedding day.

There is a wide range of colors that can be chosen for the bridesmaid dresses but it would be better if one chooses such dresses with colors that will suit with the season and the mood of the wedding party.

Pink
The most common color that is chosen for bridesmaid dresses is pink. The pink color signifies the femininity and it also expresses the innocence of the girls. The pink color bridesmaid dresses will be most suitable for outdoor wedding party settings in the season of springs. If the bridesmaids are a little mature, you may choose different shades of pink such as rum pink that is fine to be used by mature girls.

Black
Black dresses along with white or other light colors (eg. white flowers) give a very elegant feel and a huge contrast from the bride. Most  women look lovely in black dresses and it is considered as the most versatile color. Black dresses and bridesmaid gowns can also be used for other formal occasions after the wedding and is a popular choice for brides today.

Red
Another impressive color for bridesmaid dresses that can be used is Red. Red dresses seem sexier and bold. If you want to tone down the effect of the red, you may choose shorter bridesmaid dresses along with a combination of some light colors. Yet, red doesn’t suit with all girls. Brunettes with brown or olive skin color will find red dresses very attractive for themselves while redheads and blondes may not feel good as they will look a little pale in red dresses.

Purples & Blues
If red is a colour you want to avoid you may consider choosing purple, navy blue or other dark blue shade dresses are a suitable substitute for black bridesmaid dresses. Royal blue or navy blue colors suit most of the women. They give a sophisticate look with a slimming effect. Furthermore, dark blue colors can suitably be used in happy events like wedding ceremonies.

In case you don’t find dark blue color dresses attractive enough, you may choose a green or maroon bridesmaid dresses as they also offer slimming effect while they are considered as the colors of happiness.

Obviously every colour mentioned above comes in different shades, patterns and styles. Pastels are a popular choice today as well.

The main thing to consider is to choose a colour and a dress that you believe will suit the other look and feel of your wedding day, but also keeping in mind whether the colours you do choose suit the complexion of your bridesmaids as you want everyone to feel like a princess on the day.

Kari an Ash’s wedding

Wedding photography Melbourne – Kari and Ash were married at Elmswood estate what a beautiful day, the sun was shining all day for them.  We started off in Ferntree gully to photograph the boys and then onto Wantirna to take some photos of Kari.  We then did something a little different by going and taking some photos before the ceremony (First look session) in the dandenongs.  This was really special I thought because so often you don’t see each other until you get to the ceremony and then you don’t really have time to talk to each other or tell each other how awesome you both look and how much you love each other.  So much nicer that they got to have a little private moment to themselves, I photographed it but from a distance just so they can remember what a great time it was.
