I'm so excited to be starting the week off with a sneak peak of the brand new Modern Wedding 50 - Collectors Edition. The team has worked tirelessly putting together this stunning, fabulous magazine that includes THREE free supplements!
I am just buzzing over our completely new concept- The Wedding Styling Handbook. I have been pouring over the mag since I received it on Friday. Each page makes me smile a little more... sigh - I love it!
A couple of spreads to get you oo-ing and ahh-ing with me:
My love doesn't stop with the Style Handbook, I am also totally inspired by our Shots Real Wedding magazine, which is full of Real life weddings - all of them divine. The photography in each and every wedding is beautiful, the couples have done an amazing job with styling their weddings and... I simply L.O.V.E reading real life couples stories!
The third wonderful supplement is our colour guide - with stacks of ideas on how to colour coordinate your wedding.
The main magazine... well it's also nothing short of breathless with four stunning fashion shoots, a beautiful Bali feature and a chance to win yourself a gorgeous Luna Novias Gown to the value of $2000!!
How do you win it? You will have to grab yourself a copy of the magazine, turn to page 128 and read the instructions. Sorry can't give EVERYTHING away!

Fairy Tale Wedding Fashion
When I was a kid, my favourite movie was Aladdin. Princess Jasmine was so beautiful. I loved her independant spirit and the fact that there was a Disney princess that had long dark hair, just like me. Every girl dreams of a fairy tale wedding day with her Prince Charming and the perfect gown. Dream-team Alfred Angelo and Disney are making magic together, recently releasing their first collaboration: breathtaking gowns for the princess bride.
The collection is inspired by the essense, style and personality of seven iconic Disney princesses: Ariel, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty's Aurora, Snow White and the newest addition, Tiana (of The Princess and The Frog.)
Get a sneaky peek at behind-the-scenes footage of the gowns from Disney Living.
Gorgeous! Are you a princess bride? Which is your favourite Disney princess and why? Which gown most reflects your personality and style? Leave your comments, stop by Facebook or Tweet Us and say hi :)

Tablecentres aplenty!
Wow! This photo from Colin Cowie continues to inspire me and, being Monday I think all of us need a little inspiration!
Tablecentres can really make or break the entire look of your reception, they are the big touches that light up the room and make all your wedding elements come together. They are what your guests will admire for hours through the night while they are sitting down to dinner, listening to speeches and just taking a break from dancing - you want to make their table something worth looking at.
I have seen some great ideas come through our doors and wanted to share some of my favourites with you. I hope you will be inspired to create a magnificent view for your friends and family.
Remember, tablecentres don't have to be over-the-top, expensive displays like the one above. Simple and elegant centers can be just as effective.

Flowers tend to be the major trend in tablecenters, mainly because they look divine, give off a beautiful fragrance, they are easy to colour coordintae with your theme... but much more simply - becuase we love them. This being said, there are heaps of alternatives to flowers, such as fruit arrangements, candles, chandeliers, potted plants, wooden cut out designs, absolutely anything of interest could be a centerpeice.
How are you dressing your tables? Are you using flowers? Plants? Something a little more daring? We would love to hear...
Post your comments on Facebook or in the comments section below.
Happy Monday!
