Last week we had some stylish veggie centrepieces, today we have fruity ones!

I like the idea of a luxurious arrangement of fruit doubling as a table feature and a healthy dessert option. Those grapes are making my mouth water.
I think these are a really cute idea. How festive to look out at a sea of waving 'YAY' flags!

I'd throw a few 'Yippee's and 'Hooray's and 'Fuck Yeah's in there as well.
probably not the last one but it would be funny to see Nan waving a fuck yeah flag
I wouldn't have been able to imagine how a pile of fruit or vege could work as a table centrepiece until I saw these pictures! How nice does this look?

I would be happy to grab one of those peaches for dessert
who needs a vase when you have:

Talk about rustic charm!
Ok not a subject for polite company as my Grandma would say, but it's worth a mention.
I saw an advert for VIP Restrooms in last weeks newspaper and I'm really happy this kind of service is available in WA!
Three Cheers for Portaloos that aren't rank!!
They actually look even better than not rank.. I'd say they look even pleasant.
Flowers, artwork, big mirrors, counter for fixing hair and makeup.. noice.
This would be a great option for those who are considering a big backyard or country wedding and need a bit of extra bathroom space... We considered a few more remote venues that required portable toilets and in each case decided not too because I didn't like the idea of portaloos bringing the event down.
I had to look twice when I saw this wedding on Snippet & Ink because it is sort of what I am aspiring to with our wedding reception..

We have an open sided pavillion in the the bush, and its not quite as nice as this one (no lush lawns or wooden beams) but I'm hoping we can use lighting, lanterns, etc to create an equally inviting effect
I saw this Palette Generator quite a while ago on Polka Dot Bride, but only just got around to having a go.
It's useful. And easy. And it's quite of fun.
You just upload any photo and it gives you the colours that match or compliment the main colours in that pic.
How handy.. especially for those of us who do not have a keen eye for colour but still want things to look good.
Here's what I got from a few of my favourite piccies from the Hubble Telescope
I actually really like all three of the palettes generated from these images.
The less wedding related the better they seem to turn out.
Yum.
There is something so deliciously indulgent about dessert buffets!
These ones are presented so beautifully, they look too good to eat (ha! as if)

Since embarking on my wedding diet I have cake on the brain.

Red ribbons are always going to be an eye-catching touch!
Fun and sexy and sweet all rolled into one. My favourites are small bows in unexpected places..
Some other examples of ribbons, for you hair this time, can be seen here
This really look like my kind of party. And even though I think its actually some amazing mountaintop venue in California you could easily transform a nice big backyard into something this special.
The open sky, the lights strung high, the outdoor dining..
It's worth checking out their blogs for the rest of the wedding, especially the beautiful wild flowers.
I'm not sure if it's still called an altar if you arent getting married in a church, but whatever its called I think we need one.
Because there is nothing really special behind us where we say our vows..
For a while there I was thinking we needed a full blown backdrop.
But now I've changed my mind, there isn't a need to block anything out, maybe just close the expansive space in a little, bring the focus to where we will be standing
Something like these:

Or here is another option along the same lines..
Its sort of simple and rustic, not too obstructive and would be fairly easy to put together...
A sweet twist on a modern tradition
