Real Wedding ~ Sidney and William

    With a wedding date that falls on Hallows' eve, Sidney and William infused a little trick-or-treat spirit into their Rosemary Beach wedding, photographed by Rae Leytham Photography, making it the perfect wedding to feature as we head into the Halloween weekend! Sidney looked beautiful in her mermaid silhouette gown with sweetheart neckline and gently ruched detailing. She accessorized with a big floral hair fascinator and birdcage veil that were the perfect compliments to her sleek gown. William wore a tailored khaki suit with white button down, chocolate tie and fern curl boutonniere. With white garden chairs nestled on the beach and a bamboo canopy draped with muted khaki linens framing the ocean views, Sidney walked down the beach aisle with her father carrying a gorgeous bouquet of soft pink and white mixed blooms. Framed by the canopy and two large ferns on either side of them, Sidney and William exchanged vows with a stunning ocean backdrop.

    Designed in a pretty palette of chocolate brown and soft pinks the couple's large tented reception looked spectacular. Chocolate pintuck linens draped over the round guest tables, while linen napkins at each place setting in a soft pink hue added a nice contrast to the table. Celestine's Weddings created branched centerpieces of curly willow and small white blooms. Small vases filled with rocks and water featured floating candlelight on the tables, while large round pendents adorned the all white tented ceiling. Adding a little bit of trick-or-treat fun to the decor a candy buffet filled with Halloween treats of candy corn and pumpkin peeps was displayed at the reception and decorated with a haunted house and pumpkin painted with the couple's custom monogram design. Confections on the Coast created Sidney and William's magnificent wedding cake that featured four different patterned tiers in the chocolate, white and soft pink palette adorned with the couple's monogram. Don't miss a single detail of Sidney and William's Halloween wedding, including the candy apple favors and spectacular sunset images on the beach. To see more of Sidney and William's Fall nuptials, visit the Rae Leytham Photography blog!

Ocea Beauty Bar

    I was a lucky girl last night and got treated to a manicure for my birthday by my dear friend Amie. As a surprise she took me to Ocea Beauty Bar on Payneham Rd and I have to say I walked out a happy camper. I'm very fussy with my nails and thought our manicurist Mia did a uber-great job. Amie's getting married next year (and I'm one of her bridesmaids (YAY!)) so it has been decided that we will be heading back to Ocea to get vamped for the big day. Taking your besties somewhere for some pampering in the lead up to the wedding is always a nice idea. Nothing goes together better than champagne, girls and a beauty parlour! It's also a must to have nice nails so what better excuse?! Ocea Beauty Bar offer Pamper Parties that would make a fab day out for the girls. Of course the boys aren't to be left out! The Boys Are Back pamper packages are available for those who take their grooming seriously. If you'd like more info on Ocea Beauty Bar's amazing services then visit them at www.oceabeautybar.com.

Gorgeous Fall Bridal Collection

    I'm probably a broken record by now but I'm obsessed with Elizabeth Dye.  Her Fall 2010 bridal collection is breathtaking.  If I had bought a wedding dress and didn't have mine handmade by a dear friend - it would have been an Elizabeth Dye dress all the way.  If you are a 2011 bride - run, don't walk, to the English Dept.





    My favs!
