Tim and Anna's New Zealand wedding

I love to hear from 'Peppermint Brides' after their big day and was super-excited to hear from Anna this week and receive photo of her finished invitations. 

I worked with Anna late last year to create her own version of our 'Contemporary Capitals' design in a lovely steel blue & grey. The invites were printed by Peppermint Press and Anna finished off her designs with matching ribbon...

Anna also kindly shares with us some stunning wedding photographs from her big day in Queenstown, New Zealand. Congratulations Anna and Tim!

Here are the vendors who helped make their day:
Fredrik at Larsson Photography Wanaka
Sadie at Truely Scrumptious Cakes (Queenstown)
Sarah at The Flower Room (Queesntown)



My favourite photograph... amazing NZ scenery...

a perfect winter wedding

This is by far one of the most beautifully styled shoots I have ever seen. Created by Wednesday Custom Design, based in the USA. They decided to bring the snow indoors and suspended 180 strands of marshmallows from the ceiling! There's no reason not to have your wedding in winter with inspiration like this!

I just adore the orange, peach & sage colour scheme. And the breakfast buffet, oh my! Those pancake stacks are amazing.

I can't say any more. What a talent. Take a look at the photos and see for yourself.

Wonderland wedding - Jessica Ruisan

After I saw Jessica's beautiful photography from the 'Laced and Graced' shoot, I went her blog to check out her other work. I absolutely LOVE the shoot Jessica photographed below. A little bit 'Alice in Wonderland' inspired. The flowers left me speechless, they are amazing! They are by Chanele Rose Flowers & Styling.

Laced and Graced

Hello! It's been quite a while since the last blog post.
Things have been busy at Peppermint Press over the past few months with barely a moment to take time-out. What a blessing it has been for my little dream to grow into a successful small business! Thank you to all of the lovely brides and grooms that have been part of Peppermint's first year in 2011.

The year ended with a gorgeous collaborative shoot with Essential Wedding Design and friends. "Laced & Graced" the whimsical theme dreamt up by Trish of Essential Wedding Design. Peppermint Press was invited to produce stationery for the shoot, which was to be based around a pretty, outdoorsy, bridal shower with lots of lace and ruffles and pretties. The photography by Jessica Ruisan was stunning and all of the other contributors are listed below, in case you are in the Sydney area and after some wonderfully talented wedding vendors.
