Today’s inspiration shoot is an enchanting ode to the elegance of simplicity, perfectly blending lush floral arrangements, with a restrained tablescape of muted greys, and beautifully feminine bridal looks. And whilst it was captured in the Spring, I can’t help but think the soft tones and silvers are just as perfect for Winter. You really won’t want to…

Of course I might be slightly biased, what with it taking place in my home area of Hawkes Bay, but I am so completely smitten with today’s wedding! The stylish couple’s romantic yet relaxed style shines through in everything from their berry and blush colour palette, to the bride’s old Hollywood inspired look and their chic marquee reception. Altogether it…

The inspiration shoot originally came about after Josie…

As one of the first I came across when I began CVB, I have long been promising, and looking forward to, a post dedicated to today’s designer – Karen Willis Holmes. Some, with a…

For me, having a vintage inspired wedding was about trying to create a look personal and unique to me – when I was younger I was adamant I would get married in black, so obviously my wedding was always destined to be unique! When planning our wedding I did consider challenging convention and going with…
