bek&rob's wedding

one of my most special girlfriends bek, married her sweetheart rob a couple of weeks ago, and what a fantastic wedding it was!! 
we took all the kiddies to their organic avo farm in the hills and celebrated with them the sharing of their lives together......as did 100 or so of their nearest and dearest,  revelling in fantastic local food, great music, lawn games, fire works and hay bales!!

My wedding story started about 4 weeks out from the event when a phone convo with bek revealed she was still without a wedding frock, we got together a few days later and her dress was born.

A 1950's cut, boatneck with a princess line bodice, full skirt and lace cap sleeves, all created in 1940's cotton lace backed with silk satin and lined in cotton voile.
It was one of those meant to be creations, easy as can be and joyful to put together.......and she loved it.

My next mission was to find as much vintage crockery as I could to make the tables have bek's cupcake loving touch....and out popped the "Clarice Cliff" discovery of red and cream delight.....a half dinner set of 1940's china originally given as a wedding gift to a local couple who are still married and obviously downsizing.......

and then followed the queen anne, wedgewood, royal blah di blah and 1930's japanese pieces.....

I had so much fun........

to see the professional piccys of the wedding and all it entailed go to
