my sister's engaged!

AHHHHH!
(So this happened on Saturday, but ive been pretty busy all weekend to post about it)
But YAYYYYYY!
My sister, Megan is now engaged.
We knew it was going to happen for a while, but its official now, and is so exciting!
I wonder what her wedding will be like?

Maybe a little afternoon tea like this?

Or a big party with everyone invited?

I look forward to hearing her ideas :)

gift registry

Each weekend, J and i have been getting more and more of the 'little' details for the wedding organised. This weekend we did our gift registry! It was a bit of fun, going through Myer with the scanner/beeper thing... picking out a few products we need, and others we dream about having...

Here's a sneak peak of a few of my favourites:

wedding rings

Jorge and I bought our wedding rings yesterday!
so excited.
We get to pick them up in 3 weeks, as they are getting made by the jeweller. And then they will wait at home till our wedding day! This wedding is costing a lot of money, but my excitement is getting is getting bigger and bigger as things get ticked off our 'to-do list'.

The weirdest thing is that i had to leave my engagement ring at the jewellers to be adjusted so that the wedding ring fits perfectly next to the engagement ring. The diamond will be lifted 1mm so that the wedding ring sits right next to it. My finger feels so bare.

our bed!

Jorge and I went to IKEA yesterday with a voucher and some money we received for our engagement party. And this bed is what we came home with :)
We still need to buy the mattress, but this piece of furniture is our first, and i love it!

Milana & Jacob

I found this video over at Green Wedding Shoes and it is the sweetest! I love hearing how this couple got together, and how Jacob proposed!

sydney flower markets

So for flowers, we have decided to go to the sydney flower markets sometime during the week of the wedding to get everything! I love the idea of getting up before sunrise and driving down to gather buckets upon buckets of fresh flowers... (i doubt i will love it that close to the wedding though ;)

elephant

Now that we have paid for flights and accommodation, all we have to do is plan activites :)
So looking forward to elephant riding in koh samui...

awkward..
i was just looking through previous posts and realised i have now done two separate posts on photographer Jose Villa. Shows how great his work is ;)


for funsies...

What a dress!

I saw this blog recently and instantly loved the look of this tiny wedding!
The dress is beauitful, and the fact that their ceremony was on the top of a cliff - beautiful!!!
The photos are incredible! Sometimes I wish I was planning a tiny wedding for 20 people so we could all stand in an amazing location, with a solid wooden table for our lunch, and fun decorations and games!

Jose Villa

We have booked our photographer! But if Jose Villa was in Australia, he would be my first choice!!! I love love love all of the photos on his site. It might help that I love all the decorations and settings of the weddings he has photographed... but  i just love his website!

Here is one wedding that is sooo beautiful!

I especially love the lavender fields.
