My new obsession: Smoons


I recently discovered "Smoons" and I am OBSESSED. I found them at Malibu Market & Design (which by the way is amazing and really worth a visit, they also have a great location for cocktail parties and such at the very top of the property which I would love to use for my rehearsal dinner if it was a little cheaper).


Smoons are solar powered, can be used plugged in or cordless, are sensitive (you just touch them to turn them off) and waterproof, so you can just throw them in the pool. I think they are AMAZING, and I want at least 20 of them - except I believe they cost around $1,400 each!


I was hoping to be able to rent them, but I'm not having any luck so far in tracking down many U.S. retailers, let alone someone who would rent them, but how amazing would they be scattered around on the grass and under trees for my wedding?! Magical!!


I actually first became aware of them via a venue that I was interested for our wedding. They had smoons throughout the property, and it looked so great, as you can see from the photos below! I really wanted to have my wedding at this venue, but that's another story! I do by the way have the venue locked, in Malibu, did I forget to mention that? Yeah, a few weeks ago, and just in the nick of time!


By the way wouldn't that bougainvillea covered structure in the photo below have been perfect for us to get married under, surrounded by city lights? Not to mention easier and more convenient than Malibu? No regrets though right?!


Raise the Cake

I always say that my clients need to pay more attention to their cake table and presentation. The Wedding cake is such a big part of the wedding and often quite a piece of art in itself.


Kathy Jo Peterson, Wedding Planner, Modern Bride Trendsetter and Lover of Cake Stands, whom I adore, has started a new business " Raise the Cake".
Check it out and it is such a beautiful website too!

Wedding Lighting


Apologies for the rather awful scan, but I'm intrigued by this lighting and I need to find out how expensive something like this might be, and whether it would actually work at our venue. I had hoped to get away with tons of fairly lights, lanterns and candles, but apparently it gets pretty dark at our location and that may not cut it, so this could be an interesting option...

Bridal Fitting


Last week I had the pleasure in meeting Sharon Curciarello. She recently launched her new business called "Bridal Fittings". Her unique blend of exercise, nutritional assistance, lifestyle management, confidence building and motivation allows all brides to have the best opportunity for success. Her training is enjoyable and inspirational. What I love is that she has three different packages to choose from:
  • The Fairy God Mother
  • You and Your Entourage
  • Princess in Training

Give Sharon a call on 0428 336 123 and have a chat with her and I am sure you will be motivated in no time!

UAE Abaya Bling Bling





Abayas with bling - a controversial covering in some parts of the of Gulf. In Dubai, abayas that have jewels, lace, and other ornate applique are considered apart of the daily fashion routine for many Sisters there. While in other parts of the Gulf like Saudi Arabia, these abayas are considered too flashy for public wear.

The first video i believe is a snippet from a BBC documentary on abaya/fashion in the Gulf. The second is a fashion show from i don't know where with GORGEOUS bling bling abayas.

So does bing on an abaya negate its purpose? What do you think?
