Can you feel the love?

Engagement shoots were something I had never heard of until very recently. Couples arrange for a photo session to capture their love and excitement of their recent engagement. I have seen some truly beautiful engagement shoots in my research for the wedding. Themed, elegant or incredibly simple allowing their love to shine through.

While Luke and I didn’t have a photographer ( rather a tripod ) we donned our Sunday bests and headed down to the beautiful Fagan Park Gardens to take some shots.

Below are a couple of these and a few of my favorites from various blogs.

Wedding LOVE

Well the rain has cleared ( for now ) and allowing the beautiful sun to shine through.

I thought I would share with you today a blog that I love.

www.polkadotbride.com is one I stumbled across when I started the wedding planning and instantly fell in love with. It is choc full of beautiful real weddings, suppliers and tip and tricks. I have found a few suppliers on this amazing blog that I will be using for our wedding.

Even if you aren’t organising a wedding it has great ideas for any celebration!

Enjoy!

Oh So Beautiful!

One thing I am really enjoying about planning our wedding is finding suppliers who I just HAVE to work with! (you know the ones) One I want to share with you today is our florist of choice - Ruby and Joy. I met with Nicola of Ruby and Joy earlier this year over tea with my mum. Before I even got back to the car I was raving to mum about how great I felt about working with her - and how I just knew she would do the most perfect job on our wedding flowers. A few emails back and forth and they are locked in. I can't tell you enough how excited I am! Check out their site and enjoy their beautiful works of art.

Nothing ever wasted

Morning, from another beautiful Sydney day

Two nights ago I attempted to make a healthy pumpkin soup. I succeeded however made waaaaay too much. So, last night I wanted to re use the soup as a base for a pasta sauce and created a tasty bacon and pumpkin sauce on penne. It got me thinking, what else can we re use to create a whole new meal? I am going to challenge myself over the next few weeks to make a little extra each night then re use it the next night for a whole new dish.

A busy day ahead as Luke and I finish some house chores before we head into the rocks for our weekly dose of the city.

Happy Saturday!

Wow!
We have been so blessed this week with perfect blue skies every day and today is no exception. Luke and I may take a drive up to Brooklyn for some fish and chips - what are you up to on this beautiful Saturday? Hope it is something fabulous!

Renovations!

Hi All

Well it has been a very long time since I last wrote a post and some changes have been made! First and most noticeably is that we have changed name. My location has changed as Luke and I bought our very own unit in Hornbsy! The most exciting change ( I think ) is that I am no longer Rosey - girlfriend of Luke but Rosey - fiance of Luke! He popped the question last November and we are busily making plans for our October 30 wedding.
So, with these changes bring new interests ( Saturday at Bunnings anyone? ) & hopefully new and exciting posts.

Stay tuned!
