A Beach Wedding

Poppiseed Designs — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 12:31:52 +0000

Sand between the toes, the sound of the waves rolling in and the smell of salt in the air – what a beautiful setting to be married in. Our latest wedding stationery range ‘Shelly Beach‘ is perfect for a stylish beach wedding, a simple yet classy design. We are thinking a wedding reception incorporating gorgeous tones of blue set against old weathered whitewash. Have fun gathering old bottles, sea shells, beads and twine, then get creative and use them for table settings, bombonieres or even at the ceremony location.

Vintage Lace

Poppiseed Designs — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:49:50 +0000

This inspiration board was created around our ‘Vintage Lace‘ wedding invitation, which I thought suited a vintage inspired summer afternoon wedding glowing in a palette of sage green, tangerine orange, peach and cream. Imagine a warm summer afternoon filled with wide brimmed hats, the clinking of glasses and a game of croquet. I love the idea of a lavish dinning table and chairs setup in a country style garden where an afternoon gathering could turn into a romantic night with the addition of some lanterns and fairy lights hanging in trees.

Victoria’s Christening

Poppiseed Designs — Wed, 26 May 2010 04:49:30 +0000

Recently, a lovely client of mine, Effie, had a beautiful idea of having a bird theme for her daughter, Victoria’s Christening. Effie thought our ‘Little Wren‘ wedding invitation would fit perfectly into her theme, with a few minor adjustments to make it into a Christening invitation.

A beautiful lunch celebration at the Haldon Function Centre followed the Christening.

The pink bird theme was carried throughout the lunch with stunning bird centrepieces created by Helen’s Florist at Earlwood.

Poppiseed Designs created some cute little tags to go on the bombonieres, which were little bird cookies!

The Jellybean boxes were sweet and fun!

And a stunning cake was created by Ava Cakes featuring little birds and finished with Victora’s name.

Thank you very much Effie for sharing your daughter’s beautiful Christening, it was simply stunning!

French Romance

Poppiseed Designs — Tue, 04 May 2010 10:51:35 +0000

One of my favourite wedding themes at the moment is the beautiful and romantic french provincial wedding. Our latest stationery designs ‘Isabella‘ has been inspired by vintage birdcages and decorative details that adorn a french wedding. Think vintage lace, chandeliers, vintage brooches, birdcages, fancy script fonts, draping material, ornate frames…with all these gorgeous items you will leave your guests drooling!

Colour Inspirations – Purple & Bright Green

Poppiseed Designs — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:02:28 +0000

It is not the first colour combination that springs to mind, but there is something very alluring about the delicious deep purple tones with a splash of fresh, bright green. The key to making this combination work is using a blend of purple tones rather than one flat purple colour with just a touch of bright green to make the final result really pop!

Wedding Monogram

Poppiseed Designs — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 07:17:42 +0000

As part of launching our new look website we have added a new item – wedding monograms. Our wedding monograms or wedding logos are a motif or emblem created by combining a couples initials or names and wedding details as a graphic representation of their unity.

Wedding monograms are a great way to personalise your special day. They can be used on all your wedding stationery as well as various wedding items like, bonbonnieres, napkins, cakes, water bottles, guest book, labels and anything else your imagination can think of.

Poppiseed Designs wedding monograms are available to purchase on their own as an affordable way to make DIY invites/wedding projects look a little more stylish and chic or can be added to our refined stationery ranges for us to print and complete.

Here are some of our favourites:

Real Wedding – Camille & Barry

Poppiseed Designs — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:02:15 +0000

The lovely Camille and Barry celebrated their stunning garden wedding in November 2009 and I have some of their beautiful photos to share with you. They had a small intimate wedding at a heritage listed homestead – Faversham Homestead, in Mundaring Perth.

Camille and Barry came to us last year searching for their perfect wedding invitation and could not quite find the right thing on our website, so they approached us to create a custom design. They decided on midnight blue for the bridesmaids dresses and wanted to carry that colour through to their wedding stationery, which was to have a formal, garden wedding theme.

Camille and Barry had us use their design to create a seating chart which they had beautifully framed and positioned on a stand for guests to see where they were to be seated.

They also wanted to have a three sided menu / table number which was to sit on each table – one side had the table names, which were all creatively named after flowers, another side had the menu selection and the other had the guests names seated on that table.

Individually named bomboniere boxes were presented on the tables for each guest.

Camille and Barry told us “We loved every single moment of the day and spent the whole day laughing.”

Congratulations Camille and Barry on a stunning wedding day, thank you so much for sharing it with us!
