Wedding centrepieces

Invitations have been ordered, I'll post photos once we receive them. These are the 2 centrepieces I am tossing up between. I like fish bowl incase you hadn't picked up on that.


 


 

What do you think?!

I am a bad blogger

But here are some cute photos of Maddy to make up for it..

 You can never get upset at a face like this!! How hot was it this weekend?! Ridiculous. It is now windy as anything, I hope it's blowing in some cooler weather!


 
 She looks a little bit guilty in this photo, that's because I was scrunching the dead leaves and she kept stealing them from me to chew on.


Had a tasty dinner at the Sunnybank Hotel last week (it seems so unlikely but their food is really really good!). This is parmeson, pistachio and thyme crusted pork sirloin on mustard seeded mash with steamed green beans and a red wine jus. Delicious!



Loving the latest delicious magazine, everything is so pretty and some nice easy recipes in there.

Hooray that Monday is over. I had a bad, bad case of Monday-itis today.

Sydney Town

Off to Sydney next month for the weekend to attend D's dad's 60th birthday!

It will be at some hotel in Cabramatta but we will be staying in the city. Any recs for a fab hotel would be much appreciated!

Booked our flights tonight as Jetstar had a crazy sale where flights were $45! That's less than half price! Bargain.

Seeing as we've been to Sydney a fair few times and D used to live there we won't be doing any sight seeing or shopping this time round. I'm more interested in food. Thinking Laduree, Zumbo's at Star, Jamie's Italian, Ms G's and Ms Chu's. A stop by the fish market would be fab as well.

Sydney-siders, what else would you recommend?!

A Revelation

well a small one. It was Sunday afternoon, D was playing games and Maddy napping after our walk. I had just finished painting my nails (see below) and was having a soothing mug of English Breakfast with some whipped PB on crackers when I decided to browse Etsy for wedding stuff.

   

I started off looking for hair things but that became boring. I then started looking for guest books. I was planning on having one of those where it's just a picture and everyone signs their name on a leaf/ balloon/ love heart/ whatever so we could then frame and display it.

After some browsing I still wasn't feeling overly inspired with what I could find so I threw an idea out to D - let's not have a guest book.

D is a minimalist, and was a big fan of this idea so, that is one chore ticked off the list! We will not be having a guest book. I am not really the sentimental kind and besides, we will have wedding cards and photos to remember the day by.
