:: Wedding Details - The Boys ::

Hello!

I'm back with more wedding photos. After my last wedding post Mr LG asked where the pictures of him were, so I thought I would show you the boys today. I let Mr LG make his own decisions on the boys attire, and I think he chose amazing outfits for his side of the bridal party. My favourite part (apart from their adorable bow ties!) was the pocket squares - Mr LG had white to match my dress and the boys had green to match the girls. The pops of green on their black suits looked amazing!

My brother-in-law was the driver of the boys for the day, so I gave him my camera and told him to take some shots. This one is of Mr LG posing in our front door way.

I love these photos of the boys helping each other get ready!

Here he is at the church, posing for our photographer. This shot was taken by one of my friends.

The boys waiting in the church for everyone to arrive - and on a side note, how cute are the pew decorations? They're a tie-in to my Kitchen Tea decorations.

I hope you all had a fabulous Monday to start your week off!

:: Mrs Lavender ::

Hello!

I am back from the most wonderful wedding and honeymoon I could've imagined! I can't wait to share all my favourite parts from the past few weeks with you all.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect, it was so amazing to see all our family and friends in one place together to celebrate our special day. Even though it rained all day, for one beautiful hour is stopped raining - the exact time we needed to have our photos taken - how lucky were we? We were blessed with beautiful grey skies and a wonderful old building for the backdrop for our photos and I can't wait to see the final products!

Our day started around 7am and didn't finish 'til midnight. I had so much fun all day and somehow managed not to cry throughout the ceremony. I have cried at every other wedding I've been too, so I thought for sure I'd cry at my own - but I was busy having too much fun! The waterworks came during speeches later, speeches always get me.

I have hundreds of photos to sort through, but I wanted to share with you my favourite photo from the various happy-snappers during the day. This photo was taken by my older brother while he was juggling a large umbrella and various other items. I think the blur makes it perfect.

Much love to you all!

:: Wedding Inspiration - Vintage Books ::

I love books. The love the smell of them. I love the feel of them. One day I hope to have a library in our house with floor to ceiling books. Luckily, I am marrying someone who also loves book - old books in particular.

So, what do old books and our wedding have in common? I've been so excited to share this with you, but I had to wait! Now I can finally show you our vintage book invitations!

Time was running out on our invitations and we still hadn't settled on a style we liked. We both love simple, clean looking things and we both love old books. It was actually my younger sister who came up with the idea to join the two together and create a fantastic book themed wedding invitation!

They have been a hit with our guests and we couldn't be happier with them!

Who doesn't love a brown paper package tied up with string?

The countdown is officially on now - 24 days 'til we get married!

PS. Don't forget to enter my Christmas giveaway!

:: Lavender ::

Back in May Mr LG and I planted some daisies and some lavender in pots on our front deck. Neither of us are very skilled at anything plant related, except perhaps, on how to accidentally kill them :( True to form, our daisies aren't looking so good. But, our lavender has it's first flower! I am so excited (and kind of amused that my future namesake is growing just fine).

Look, look!

I can't wait 'til it's a full pot plant of amazing smelling lavender. Do any of you grow flowers? What are some fail-safe flowers we could grow?
