Etsy Christmas Gift Guide: Skulls
December 13, 2013
If there's one thing in competition for my love of all things sparkly, its anything with a skull on it... much to my mother and my husband's dismay! I'm not sure where this slightly macabre fascination came from but if there's something in a shop in the shape of a skull I am instantly drawn to it.Read more...
Thursday Treats: Now Including Business Bites!
December 12, 2013
With the new year just around the corner, I've been reviewing how I do certain things and seeing how I can make improvements going into 2014. One of the smaller changes I've decided to make is to merge Thursday Treats with Friday's Business Bites post. I've decided that dedicating a whole blog post slot to a second links round up article is a bit of a waste and so instead I'll now be posting either a second Green Room article each week on a Friday afternoon or another real wedding feature! You're very welcome.Read more...
Epic Handmade Barn Wedding: Lauren & Dean
Love and Perry
December 12, 2013
Lauren and Dean wanted their wedding to be a big party for everyone, but mostly one that they'd really love to go to!

Intimate Beach Ceremony in France: Anna & Jarrah
Pretty Days
December 11, 2013
No matter how many weddings I feature, or how many cool, quirky and original décor and details I see, it is always the simple and emotional, small weddings, that really slay me. Elopements, intimate ceremonies, the great outdoors. Anna and Jarrah did exactly this, travelling from their home in Australia to a beach in France, with just their parents and very best friends in attendance.Read more...

Rainbow Summer Camp Wedding: Sara & Joe
Blushing Bride Studio
December 10, 2013
As soon as I saw Sara's incredible rainbow dress I just knew I had to feature this wedding. I mean, goodness, any bride that rocks a dress like that is guaranteed to have an amazing wedding. I wasn't wrong! The day was held at Camp Kinkora in Montreal where the bride used to go to summer camp as a kid.Read more...

Janneke Storm
December 9, 2013
One of my ultimate highlights of my trip to Queensland was snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. It wasn't something that I ever thought I'd have the opportunity to experience and I nearly squealed with delight when I found out that it was on our itinerary.Read more...
Edgy and Elegant Phoenix Hotel Wedding: Evan & Catherine
Encarnacion
December 9, 2013
Evan and Catherine were married at the iconic Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco and their reception was at the super cool Chambers Eat + Drink. They wanted a wedding that was edgy yet elegant - just like them! The venues they chose really helped to set that mood. "After a long search for wedding venues, we were feeling uninspired", Catherine began. "Pricey and cookie cutter was the theme for most of the spaces we looked at. We needed to find a place that inspired not only us but our guests."Read more...
Cosy Alternative Restaurant Wedding: Sandra & Kristijonas
Balti Rėmelia
December 8, 2013
Sandra and Kristijonas were married in Lithuania, at Jalta, an alternative restaurant in Vilnius. From the outside it looks like a wooden house, they serve food made from locally sourced ingredients and they have a DJ in a greenhouse (which is actually where they had their ceremony!) The tree-lined terrace garden was the perfect setting for their laid back and cosy reception.Read more...

In between our two Melbourne classes, Gala, Shauna and I flew to New Zealand for our final location of the year. Our venue was Generator, a super rad event space in downtown Auckland.Read more...

Etsy Christmas Gift Guide: Winter Warmers
December 6, 2013
Snugly winter goodies make perfect Christmas gifts. There's nothing I love more than finding something soft and warm under the tree that I can wear immediately (and probably not take off until April). The chunkier the better.Read more...
Thursday Treats: Photo Booths, Karaoke and Monster Hangovers
December 5, 2013
Greetings from hangover HQ! Last night I was in Brighton on my first Christmas party of the year with the Photography Farm crew. There was a photo booth, karaoke and wine... oh so much wine. It was an utter blast but of course I'm suffering for it today. In fact all I'm really capable of is lounging on the sofa and indulging in some lovely internet procrastination - won't you join me?Read more...

I probably get the dreaded blogger's block at least once a month. I sit there, staring at my screen, hoping a brilliant idea will just magically hit me. It rarely does of course, but I do have a number of things I do which help me to wriggle through it.Read more...
