Lilly Cottage

A vintage,rustic,romantic,whimsical, country gardens style wedding.

Yes that is a bit of a mouthful to say but I can't think of any other way to describe the lovely wedding we styled for the  Brownyn. Brownyn, had lots of lovely ideas and had collected some trinkets and flowers along the way and just needed help putting it all together on the day.

We met a couple of times and I think I totally got what she was after in my head, she already booked the most beautiful venue at Mt Cootha, Brisbane for her ceremony and reception ( a breakfast wedding), we just added a few bits..ok more than a few bits... and took lots of photos so I thought I would share them with you. I didn't take many of the ceremony as we didn't want to intrude but I did sneak a few to share with the Bride.

First of all the ceremony area...see a beautiful area which we added a mix of vintage, rustic and glamour.

We made our fence post paling seat ends so they could hold the little bunches of flowers.

THE chair ( this chair has been lots of places) with the good luck bubbles.

The fence posts held the swags of vintage lace bunting that formed part of the aisle.

Lovely sheer polkadot cloth for signing table.

The Reception.

Birds nests and chocolate eggs and rustic/vintage style cutlery holders.

The Bride had a fabulous vision for her wedding with coffee beans and vanilla scented candles to add to the ambience.

Bridal Table bunting made of vintage laces, handsewn with pearls and sequins with vintage ribbons and buttons.

The cake, oh my goodness the cake, I wish I could have got a better picture but it was a little dark but oh my goodness it was divine and smelt divine too. It was made by Deliberately Delicous in Brisbane..just beautiful.

This was a little play area for the children that had big cushions, colouring books and pencils in it, with the sweetest little picket fence we made.

It was a pleasure to organise this part of the wedding for Bronwyn and her husband and I love the way it all turned out and most especially the fact that it was just what she wanted.

A trip to Lollipop Land

When the blurb on the brochure says ' An opportunity for grown-ups to step back-in-time and the chance for children to create lasting childhood memories, Lollipop Land ( Lollipop Land Facebook Link ) is an enchanting Christmas Installation created by Visual Display Artist Jule Barten ( Whimsical Imaginings) and Original Doll Artist Chris Boston ( Chris Boston's website here) ' , that really is too tempting and we had to visit, (in fact we have been there more than once, we loved it so much).

As we were also lucky enough to attend a tea party in Lollipop Land before it opened to the public, we felt even more special. Lollipop Land is only open for a short while and every year it is in a different place.

   

This year Lollipop Land has found a home at the Woodford Open Space, 126 Archer Street, Woodford, Qld. ( it is in the main street, you can't miss it, there is a big honey bear out the front).

It is open from December 7th 2013 to January 19th 2014...so you really only have a matter of days to go in visit in person this year.

I think I took a million photos, ok  maybe less than a million but certainly more than 100..and you are encouraged to do so as long as you share the love with others...so that is what I am doing now, as it is really too pretty not to share.

Jule will tell you the most lovely story as you enter Lollipop Land and if you are very lucky, she will sit upon the lovely unicorn and tell special stories about the lovely characters who work in Lollipop Land.

All of these dolls are handmade by Chris and they are breathtaking.

( now this is a real life doll.. the gorgeous Jule, looks like one of the dolls have come to life).

 If you look amongst the leaves and under the trees you see the most amazing things.

 

Enjoy some of my million..I mean hundred photos ( it was hard to only select a few, so I selected more to share with you, :) ) and I do hope you get to visit Lollipop Land one day.
