Carlie and Shannon's wedding was inspired by sparkles, Rock n Roll and achieving magic on a budget. They were married in Brisbane in March. "Our biggest investment was in the details at the reception", said the bride. "Those little details really did matter to us, they're what made our wedding unique because they were little pieces of us.

I like rounding out the week with something different and fun and this vintage Valentine love story from a group of Brisbane wedding professionals, a love story, is just the ticket for the end of a romantic week!

This week has been slap bang back to work all round! After one last quick splash in the ocean we said goodbye to Port Douglas and hopped on a plane to Brisbane to teach our first class.. The babes that came along to Bleeding Heart Gallery last weekend were of course as wonderful as we could have hoped for, in fact I don't think Gala, Shauna and I have laughed as much during a class before!

Alyssa and James have an all too familiar love story, laced with fate. They were highschool sweethearts, who dated for a year. When James moved to Brisbane to study, the pair remained good friends.

I have often wondered what it is about Brisbane that has seen a flurry of incredible couture designers ply their craft there. Designer George Wu has been one such artisan that I have watched over the years create incredible pieces and today, being able to share his 2014 bridal collection, entitled "The Light Of Eden" is nothing short of a treat.

Well, Queensland you certainly haven't disappointed! After a 24 hour journey (London to Dubai to Singapore to Brisbane) I touched down in Australia just before 1am on Sunday morning. I was dreading having such a long flight but I need not have worried. I flew with Emirates, who I’ve never experienced before, and they were amazing! The planes not only had wifi (!!) but power outlets behind every seat… which, when you’re a computer addict like me is a total revelation! I spent most of my time in the air obsessively devouring Homeland episodes (my latest TV obsession) and writing – bliss!

Brisbane's White Lily Couture welcomes the arrival of designer Enzoani's 2016 Collection of bridal gowns. There's a new arrival in the form of a beautiful bundle, but don't worry, it won't result in baby spam in your feed. Oh no, this is much more fun for everyone.

Ms Chinoiserie Selecting a timeless look that never goes out of style was an important factor for Michael when choosing his outfit for his beautiful classic Brisbane wedding. "I wore an MJ Bale charcoal suit with a simple ivory shirt, black tie and accessories.

I have no idea what's in store for me over the next three and a half weeks. Having such a packed schedule recently means that I've had little to no time to research much of what Gala, Shauna and I will be getting up to while we're down under. Thank goodness for Virgo friends who obsessively arrange everything on your behalf! All I do know is the week before our first class in Brisbane I've been promised a spa day, surfing lessons, koala cuddling and zip-wiring through a rainforest. WHAT!? Oh you bet ya I'll be reporting back on all this stuff when I return.

We have 50 acres, a river and multiple sheds to play with so you can imagine the scale of what we had planned!
