How sweet are these Blom Paper Flowers from Upon a Fold? As they suggest these sweet little blooms can be used to decorate gifts and they would make a great alternative tablecentre. AUD $19.95 + postage for a set of 15 flowers, florist wire and gift tags.
Allow plenty of time to visit this lovely site – it is one of my absolute favourites and a fantastic resource for paper goods.

Cute little confetti from Table for Two - AUD$6 per packet + $3 shipping from Victoria makes it a little detail worth sharing.

I blogged about these gorgeous DIY engagement party invites (here) that Amy from Eat Drink Chic created a few months ago. I thought I would check back at her blog to see if she had any news on the wedding and saw that her 'engagement party' turned out to be a surprise wedding! Here are a few pics from her wedding, held in her husbands' parent's back yard. Be sure to have a look at her blog for more images and inspiration.

The rustic look and colours of Amy's backyard wedding actually reminded me of our backyard wedding styling story that we featured back in Issue 13 (summer 2010).

You'd be lying if you said you didn't love a royal wedding. I think at some point every little girl has dreamed of one day becoming a Princess, being swept off her feet and marrying her Prince Charming. In the case of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden it was slightly reversed. She fell head over heels in love with her personal trainer, Daniel Westling, who goes from a commoner to the very regal HRH Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. They were married in the Cathedral in Stockholm on Saturday in front of 1200 family and friends in the largest royal wedding since Prince Charles married Diana Spencer in 1981. Victoria's cream duchess satin gown with a 16.5 foot train, designed by Pär Engsheden, was paired with the same tiara and earrings her mother wore at her wedding, held on the same day in 1976. A banquet for 500 people was then held at the Royal Palace and was attended by the Kings and Queens of Sweden, as well as other Europen countries including Jordan and Japan.
It's always so lovely to read the tales of how the couples who have their weddings published within WSG fall in love. In the speech Prince Daniel gave to his new bride he recounted the period in which they fell in love. He said, "When Victoria had a long mission to China, that was a month, the night before she should have slept, but instead she didn’t sleep for the whole night and she wrote letters. The next day she gave me a box of 30 letters, that is every day a letter to me". Ohh... how gorgeous! Sigh*

At last, we can share all the fabulous stories we've been working on for the past few months. It's so hard to keep them a secret you know. One of our favourite stories from Issue 15 is our Paper and Lace styling feature. It's ultra pretty but packs a punch, with lots of free do-it-yourself downloads (because we know you love them).
The first two spreads from our Paper & Lace story in Issue 15.

I so wish I could read Japanese - I love the look of these vessels from SML. Their products are just beautiful and have convinced me a trip to Japan is well in order. 
Their products would look great teamed with our Just Married story from Issue 14. They have that industrial edge to them. Oh, and don't forget, you can download our nifty napkin design from this story - just perfect to complete the theme.

I received an email from Sibella Court at The Society Inc announcing the new chalkboard paints from Murobond. I am L.O.V.I.N.G. the white - how fantastic is it! The possibilities are endless.

When Annabelle and I were last in Sydney, we walked past this amazing shopfront that really caught our eye - the Brad Ngata Hair Salon. Its terrificly tricky trompe l'oeil style panels (French for 'trick of the eye') and beautiful colour palette really got us thinking about the possibilities for not only upcoming photo shoots, but for wedding styling in general.
Designed by Sydney architect, Scott Weston, this salon is a clever mix of illusion and reality. Read all about Scott, and the Salon at the Design Files' excellent blog. It will surely get your imagination fired.

Whilst on the Mexican theme this DIY invitation using mini paper banners (papel picado's) from Casa Bonampak is a fun idea. If you love pattern and colour then why not think about incorporating some papel picado's at your wedding?
via Once Wed
Casa Bonampak has stacks of papel picado's to choose from in lots of different colours, they are cheap and ship internationally.
These papel picado's are from Ay Mujer's Etsy Store and you can even get customised ones with your names. You can choose the colour to fit your colour scheme.
The below invitation is made by Parrot Design Studio and fits the theme perfectly!
