Cut crystal glassware will give your wedding reception an extra touch of elegance and sophistication.
As well as the functional aspect of the glassware- think how special your guests will feel sipping from crystal glasses- the crystal will add to the beauty of the tablescape when light refracts off the glasses. Just a few tealight candles will enhance the effect.

Have a wonderful day, celebrating LOVE!
My husband and I will spend our first Valentines Day as a married couple on separate flights to our holiday in New Zealand (long story).
A week together exploring such a beautiful country, where my husband was born and lived until he was 8 in fact, will be heavenly and totally make up for the lonely flight.

“Dinner was at Balthazar on Spring Street in Soho (NY) and Ten’s Cabaret on East 21st Street! …we ended up at a strip club downtown where we met up with the guys.“

“I had my hen’s night 2 weeks before my wedding, in 2006...I’d only just had Stella, my daughter, a few months before and I was still breastfeeding, so it was fairly low key. We went to Koko’s Teppanyaki at Crown in Melbourne for dinner, and then to Boutique, which is a nightclub in Melbourne, for a dance.“

“The evening was held in the private dining room of Otto restaurant at Woolloomooloo wharf in Sydney. It is has great food and a private dining area which was key to make it more intimate and special. Afterwards we partied at a fabulous city apartment!” More…
Thank you Sucheta (Chief Hen) for including me in this fun feature!
The news that tomorrow will be this winters coldest day- 8 degrees including the windchill factor- has me reminicing about my honeymoon in warm and sunny Fiji…
Taveuni Island is about one and a half hours flight from Nadi and is well worth the ride in that little plane!
Oh, and the view is spectacular!
After being met at the airport by resort owner, the lovely Do, we made the quick trip to the resort to be greeted by our luxurious honeymoon bure- the Veidomoni. 
(me with my Fijian shell necklace, just one of our thoughtful welcome gifts)
With only 8 bures at the resort we often had the pool to ourself.
aaahhh! Bliss! Two very happy, slightly tanned and super relaxed honeymooners!I got a little thrill when I opened the June Vogue wedding issue to see this ad;
It was very familiar!
I wasn’t surprised though- I had actually been about to get a different dress made by Pallas when I received a phone call about a gown from the new couture range that she thought I would love!
Cathy who runs the Sydney boutique breathlessly told me that she gasped when she saw the dress and told Joy, owner and designer of Pallas that it was very similar to the gown of my dreams which I had tried to explain to the girls!
Even though the gown had been brought to Sydney for an advertising shoot, Pallas kindly offered to hold back the ad with this gown until after my wedding, with Cathy even hiding the dress when fashion editors called in gowns for shoots prior to my big day.
I cannot thank Pallas enough for the wonderful experience I had, it was everything I imagined having a couture gown made for me would be. After all the calico toiles, silk toile and finally the several fittings the gown was finally ready- the day before the wedding- and I never, ever wanted to take my dress off!
With layers of silk and tulle and made from a beautiful organza Pallas import especially into Australia as one of their signature fabrics, I was just in dress heaven.
Despite all these layers, the dress was so light I could move easily and it passed the ‘Pallas test’, meaning I could easily hold the gown with just my pinky finger! I dare you to try it at your next fitting!
Oh, and the shoes are from the Gucci ‘Hollywood’ collection. I didn’t want to worry about matching colours to the gown and also personally thought that the look might be a little dated with my fabulous dress so I went with a bronzey-gold colour.
The stiletto heel was 10.5 cm however I was comfortable all day and I will be able to wear to wear them in the years to come.
Photography by sugarLoveI absolutely cannot wait to see the professional wedding pics, but in the meantime here are a few happy snaps of the day. It was so absolutely the best day and I had the most wonderful time- I wish I could do it all over again!
I wasn’t nervous, just excited!
