Starla and Johnny renewed their wedding vows this year, on their 10 year wedding anniversary. Their theme was the Emerald City from The Wizard of Oz and everything was green: the decorations, the lights, the cake, the candies, their clothes and Starla's hair. Even their guests wore different shades of green!Read more...

I am a Wizard of Oz superfan and I'm already seriously excited to see the new Walt Disney adaptation 'Oz: The Great and Powerful', which hits cinemas in March. So clearly this shoot, inspired by the new film, was going to end up on my blog. I love Beth of True Love Photo for sending it my way! The shoot was styled based on the previews she'd seen so think weird and wonderful, quirky and fantastical, eye-gouging brights and funktastic details.Read more...

I'm a huge Wizard of Oz nerd, so when wedding photographer extraordinaire Lisa Devlin asked if I fancied attending her first Photography Farm workshop to model in an 'After the Rainbow' themed styled shoot...well my biggest concern was whether I'd actually get to wear some ruby slippers...and you know what? I did!Read more...

You might recognise the utterly gorgeous singer and actress Kestrin Pantera from her 'Three Dresses & The Wedding of the Century' (part 2 here) wedding which exploded all over blog land a in May. Well how lucky am I? It turns out she's a Rock n Roll Bride fan and so sent me this totally awesome and slightly crazy photo shoot that she did recently.Read more...

Oh yes I do love The Wizard of Oz and when I saw Eagen & Jason's wedding and it's nods to Oz, I knew it was perfect for a little blogging. What I love particularly about the wedding is that the theme hasn't taken over the day - it's not cheesy, it's not crass, it's not cringy - they have just included a few subtle nods to the movie in an oh so stylish way. The emerald (city) bridemaid dresses, the table names, the sparkly 'Dorothy' shoes.Read more...

Kirsten & Josh’s wedding not only had a fun, retro feel, but they really went all out with their 1950’s diner theme. I am crazy in love with the Brides entire outfit - from her Dorothy ruby slippers to her cute polka dot dress made by her Mother and friend Marnie Rogers, who designs clothes for Wintersun. The gorgeous Bridesmaid had a rockabilly style to them - especially their amazing hairdos! For the reception, the couple went all out for a 50's diner theme, where they designed and made everything themselves. The centrepieces were giant lolly jars and each table had a different type of old school lolly, which was the name of the table ("Sweethearts" "Milk bottles" "Ice creams" "Jelly beans" etc) The place cards were black & white candy striped lolly bags with everyone's names on them, each painstakingly tied with little red ribbons. The placemats were old records that they picked up in an op shop and they had little gifts for everyone on the table - mini erasers in the shape of burgers, fries, hotdogs and donuts, plus vintage metal wind up toys. Each table also had a diner style spring loaded napkin holder, salt and pepper shakers and tomato and mustard bottles. Then best of all, for dinner they served burgers, hotdogs, pizza and fries. I bet their guests were thrilled - no boring wedding food for them! The celebrations continued into the night with the couple having their first dance to 'I remember the Bride when she used to Rock n Roll' by the Stray Cats, finishing the night by swaying along to 'Earth Angel'. Thanks to the Groom's Mother Rhonda for sending me this wedding and to the couple for putting together all the awesome info for you all.Read more...
