Shrek and his princess, Elyse were a load of laughs last Saturday when they tied the knot at the gorgeous property, Loxley on Bellbird Hill at the foot of the Blue Mountains. The temperature was 20 degrees, the sun was out, Elyse and her bridesmaids were ready on time, the boys were ready, everything was perfect! I was… amused when Elyse giggled with nerves throughout the ceremony, she was so excited! Elyse and Shrek’s little girl Eden was very well behaved the entire day and when it came to the big group shot and everyone had to put their hands in the air, Eden raised hers – not bad for a baby! The service from the staff at Loxley was excellent as well as the food, I highly recommend it!

My beautiful friend Kat had the most gorgeous wedding in the Hunter Valley over the weekend at the Bimbadgen Estate Pokolbin. The atmosphere, weather, service, food and wine were all first class! I could not fault it! Kat’s dress was made by a friend (I still have to get their details), her gorgeous bouquet was made by the bride herself, same with the buttonholes and corsages. Kat also did her own hair and makeup and the flower hair accessory was custom made. Anyone who knows this woman, knows she loves shoes and she wore stunning Witchery stilettos with her gorgeous dusty pink/champagne gown. The cars were decorated by her lovely brother Chris.

The ceremony was at sunset and we were lucky enough for it to peek from behind the clouds casting a warm glow whilst Kat and Jon were signing their marriage certificate. Kat and Jon opted to do family and location photos before the ceremony at the Estate – the light was soft and the vineyard was a perfect backdrop. It was very hard to restrict the number of photos to share with you! Here are some faves from the day…
