Sage, Navy & Plaid Invitation Suite

I designed this fun invitation suite for the lovely Jenny Haas for a shoot she did a few months back... I haven't seen the results of it yet but it's sure to be fabulous! How fun is the plaid envelope lining?

2013 Invitation Round up

One of my plans over the summer is to get shoots done of all my latest work, but until then here's a quick fire instagram round up of some of my favourites from the past few months... as you can see the overwhelming trend has been twine and tags!! See more of my custom work on the Ruby & Willow website.

Mexican Fiesta inspired wedding invitations

I recently designed this stationery suite for a shoot that Greta from Vela Images did for Issue 4 of {MAG}rouge. With a subtle mexican fiesta theme, it features an ombre background with some fun little canvas motifs, and a it all tied up with a little tag and twine. Kinda fun huh?

Planted with Light shoot by Kate Robinson

I was thrilled to be a part of the Planted with Light workshop that the very lovely Kate Robinson held recently. I gave a brief chat about blogging (something I was VERY nervous about doing!!), and then styled a shoot for the participants to learn how Kate goes about shooting. It was such a fun day, both for the girls who attended... and learnt so much from Kate, and for us vendors who helped out. Kate's family were incredibly accommodating having us all out to their lovely place in the country and then supplying us with delicious food all day!! We had the gorgeous Claire Mossong and her hubby Alex model for us for the day (a side career to photography beckoning perhaps?) and Steph from Bubblerock was there to capture the day... be sure to check out this film before you scroll down.

You can see the shoot in {MAG}rouge mini here.

Pale Blue & Brown Modern Invitation Suit

A new favourite custom design of mine!! Julianne & Alistair wanted something fun and contemporary using a mix of patterns and in the colours of terracotta, brown and pale blue I was pretty happy with how this turned out!

Colour me Festive by MAGrouge

We asked four local florists to put together bouquets for a little festive colour story in our current issue of {MAG}rouge. Annie Oxborough, Claudia from Style etc, Orlando and Leaf & Honey all provided us with these pretty blooms in shades of yellow, cherry red and green. We also showcased how you can get creative with a couple of different print fabrics to bring together a bit of a story for your wedding. There are so many fun things to do with fabric, I loved how these little escort card pouches turned out. Super easy and they look so effective en masse when placed at the entrance to your wedding reception. Follow the fabric through to favour packaging, your invites and even a touch on the cake as you can see we've done here.

Dahlia Invitation Suite in Autumn Tones

I showcased the Dahlia design in a yellow and green combo a few weeks back, but it looks so very different in these autumn tones.

Mexican Chic shoot by Vela Images

I was very privileged to play a small part in this stunning shoot for {MAG}rouge by Vela Images. Greta kindly asked me to create a stationery suite for it and with such a fun theme how could I resist. Together with Shaye from On My Hand, Greta styled this beautiful shoot with a subtle Mexican influence to it. Didn't they do a beautiful job? So much to love about it... the incredible flowers by Melissa Greenough, the ever so stunning dresses by Rue de Seine, and the most gorgeous of locations at Kelliher Estate. Go ahead... feast your eyes!
