Wedding Details: Professional Shots

We've mentioned before about all the effort and attention to detail that Leezar put in to making her wedding day that little bit more personal and unique. To round up all the romantic posts about Leezar's big day here are some of the professional shots taken on the day of all the handmade details which Leezar came up with and made herself (with the help of her 6 bridesmaids and husband!). The order of service (above) featured the apple tree motif which was part of the theme of the wedding, along with the phrase 'The Apple of My Eye'.

The above image is of a place setting, each guest received a CD of Corey and Leezar's favourite songs and a Dandi Fabric Origmai Treasure box filled with heart shaped chocolates. We like how the photographer chose to shoot 'Nan's' spot! Cute!

The pin board which Leezar put together to match in with the chocolate and red theme of the wedding. Guests left their messages on the board for Leezar and Corey to keep, the cards were kept in the cute apple container.

Tall vases of apples for the centre pieces on each table, looks like someone had a taste sample of this one!

And finally here we all are dolled up. Caroline, Leezar, Mindi and Manuela
Say cheese!

Leezar and Corey's Wedding

The lovely Leezar has been back in the Dandi studio for almost two weeks now and she is every bit the blushing bride. Today we are going to share with you are few of her professional photographs - we think she looks absolutely stunning, don't you? Corey is a lucky man!

Leezar and Corey's wedding had a chocolate and red theme (their favourite colours, respectively). The six bridesmaids wore chocolate brown baby doll lacy dresses and carried gorgeous red frilly parasol's from Boston Umbrella to ward off the Spring showers.

Leezar walked down the 'aisle' (last minute showers moved the wedding undercover) with her dad, who wore an electric blue tie to match her electric blue Manolo Blahniks. She carried a beautiful bouquet of white tulips and red berries, her favourite flowers. Her brother Kye played an amazing original piece of music with singer Sarah Reeve.

DIY Wedding Details

As promised previously here are a few amateur photographs of Leezar's DIY Fabric boxes which were made using plain dyed berry fabric. Pictured above you can also see that Leezar made CD's for everyone using her and Corey's favourite tunes to take home with them. Leezar and Corey had requested everyone to write down their favourite song on the RSVP notes so that they could play them on the night, and this was a really sweet way of returning the favour.

Mindi holding her fabric box and a chocolate from inside it! YUM!

Leezar made up a pin board from plain dyed berry fabric and had guests leave their mementos on it. She also place pictures from her's and Corey's parents weddings and pictures of their dogs Polly and Keira. The whole evening came together so beautifully due to Leezar's great attention to detail.

Leezar and Corey get Hitched

Last weekend was the BIG DAY for Leezar and Corey. It was a beautiful affair despite the rainy spring weather and both Bride and Groom were beaming with happiness. Here are a few teaser shots from the occasion (professional photos to follow when Leezar returns from her honeymoon in November).

The bridesmaids wore chocolate brown dresses and had red frilly umbrellas to protect them from the spring showers. Good planning Leezar!

Leezar was beaming so much as she walked down the aisle with her father, who had flown in from the south of France.

2 Weeks to go...

We've previously posted about Leezar's DIY Fabric Box bobonnierre which she is currently making for her wedding in two weeks! Here are some 'work in progress' snapshots, how cute are the little leaves! They look just like crispy red apples. As previously promised there will be professional shots coming after the event. Stay tuned!

1 MONTH TO GO!

Our Leezar has just one month to go before her wedding. Leezar has been busy making over 100 Dandi DIY fabric boxes to have as table decorations, place cards and bonbonierre all in one. We'll post the professional photos after the big event!

Engaged!

We are very excited to announce our Leezar is engaged! She is planning the wedding for October next year - a beautiful spring wedding in the Blue Mountains. In the meantime she has been busy organising her engagement party so we thought we might share some pics of the engagement party invitations which Leezar has lovingly designed and put together (with a little input for Corey too!)

Leezar and Corey have chosen a chocolate brown and red theme (their favourite colours, respectively)
Stamps were used to address the envelopes - well worth the time and effort as the end result is gorgeous!

Bonbonniere Dandi Style

Its been a while between posts - the dandi girls have been busy packing and sending orders and preparing for our Bamboo launch - more details on that later. Today we thought we would share with you a neat idea which Manny came up with recently for a wedding she was a bridesmaid for. The Bride had asked her if she had any cute ideas for bonbonniere which would fit into the pink theme of the wedding. Manny came up with these origami lotus flowers made using dandi paper napkins and decorated with a ferrero rocher.

Manny received heaps of comments for these gorgeous and practical keepsakes so if you would like a PDF of folding instructions to make your own for dinner parties or other special occasions then please drop us an email.
