First Dance Friday- ‘Head Over Feet’
This 90’s classic has memories flooding back to me! I have always loved this song, but only recently realised how beautiful the lyrics are.
Were you a fan of this song when it first came out? Have you heard it be played at a wedding before?

Wedding Stationery: Little Flamingo Stationery & Events
We’re big fans of Little Flamingo. You can probably tell from all the stationery we’ve featured of theirs in past issues of The Knot Magazine, as well as online.
Little Flamingo Stationery & Events is run by Shannon, who has a passion for paper and parties. Starting with just stationery, not too long ago Shannon branched out and now offer wedding planning services, where they’re happy to do all the little tasks that friends or family shouldn’t have to do, like hiring ceremony chairs or setting up your champagne bar.
One of our favourite designs by Little Flamingo Stationery is their All Seasons range, which features a tree cut-out and comes in a range of customisable colours. It’s the one we featured in our Winter 2011 issue of The Knot Magazine (and is pictured below in a blue colour palette).
Be sure to also check out their blog (www.littleflamingo.com.au/blog), which features beautiful ideas such as DIY projects and their real wedding work.

Wedding Florist: The Bouquets Of Ascha Jolie
The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie was founded by Virginia Chorley, who has been a florist designer for 12 years. Floristry is in Virginia’s blood: Her family has been growing flowers for 70 years. Virginia creates stunning vintage bouquets filled with David Austin roses, or if your style is more modern then she can incorporate different textures into a gorgeous arrangement.
So how would Virginia describe her style? “My style of work is typically modern, but I can also create more traditional designs as well.”
The Bouquets of Ascha Jolie is located in Melbourne and is available by appointment only.

Wedding Hair of the Week: Wavy & Feminine
Here’s five more celebrity hairstyles to get you inspired for your wedding day ‘do.
> View 500+ wedding hairstyles
Jane Levy
I love this look for mid-length cuts. It’s feminine, chic and the side part keeps it romantic.
Gillian Anderson
For another easy yet elegant take on the traditional ponytail, this style is tied slightly off-centre at the back with movement tonged through the lengths.
Chloe Moretz
Soften any upstyle with a soft, wavy curtain fringe. Frame the face by strategically placing adding kinks in your curls at the top of your cheekbones and again at the jawline.
Jennifer Morrison
This hairstlye is perfect for a beach bride. It can get windy by the water so this side braid will keep your hair out of your face while the wavy lengths won’t be phased by a little wind.
> See other celebrity looks from 2011 American Music Awards at PRIMPED.com.au
Taylor Swift
It’s simple but by adding just a touch of fishtail braiding you upgrade your everyday side ponytail for your wedding day. This is a great style for those with straight hair that won’t hold a curl.

Top 5 Registry Buys: From The Owl
Marissa and Alex, proud parents of gift registry site and online store From The Owl (www.fromtheowl.com), are self confessed homewares enthusiasts, and their passion for all things unique and stylish is clear to see when clicking through their site.
We couldn’t choose our Top 5 (too many fabulous things!), so asked Marissa to let us in on her favourite finds available at From The Owl…
Acapulco chair, $495
I fell in love with this chair in Melbourne, not only does it look amazing it’s also the best nap chair ever!
Page 33 Cinematic lightbox, $249.95
We love page 33! They are extremely creative and love to stay away from the mainstream trends. The light box works great as a bed lamp, to leave cute messages for your partner and adds a very cool touch of quirk to your home.
Breville The Juice & Blend, $529.95
We’ve always loved buying freshly squeezed juice, now we can make them whenever we want in the comfort of our own home! Breville is a great brand and their products are extremely well made. This juicer will not disappoint!
Dibbern teapot, $104
We immediately fell in love with Dibbern’s unique range of dinnerware. We were amazed at just how large their colour range is, and the fact that they don’t discontinue any product which means you don’t have to worry about your favourite colours becoming extinct.
Blacklist art prints, $89.95
We stumbled across Blacklist while we were searching for new and exciting products, we were hooked at first sight. We have numerous prints in own home and will be making room for many more in the future.
Find all these products and more at www.fromtheowl.com
