Three things we ♡ today.

Random pictures I know... could be wedding related but equally don't have to be...but I'm just in love with these 3 images.  Especially the hot pink lipstick.  Love it.  x

Lovely lovely lace

Lace. Yes, I have done an inspiration board before about lace. See here. But I'd like to give it a little more air time...

Charlotte has been across here in Melbourne with me for a few days, as Cocoa Berry completes yet another year end. Aside from all the work we got done, we did manage to squeeze in a little shopping. Okay, a lot.

Lace is something we came across again and again and we actually both ended up purchasing beautiful lace dresses for upcoming weddings we're attending (one in NZ and one in the UK).

Which lead to me to todays post - I just can't get enough of lace.

It is beautiful. It is classic. It is elegant.

This is of course when it's done in the right way - I'm sure we've all seen it done in the wrong way too!

Lace and weddings go together extremely well. It may be the main feature, ie the dress. Or it could be used with embellishments such as table clothes, perhaps the design on the cake or decorations.

Include it any which way... it just looks stunning.

If you're out and about shopping this weekend, have a look around and see what you can find... there's loads here in Melbourne and I'm sure in NZ too... or wherever else you may be!

Have a great weekend everyone!

All things lace.

Lace. It can be truly beautiful. It's been around for centuries and it comes and goes, in and out of fashion over the years.

It's fair to say that it will be definitely be around for the upcoming wedding season and we have the beautiful Kate Middleton to thank for that. The hype has calmed down a little now since the 'big' wedding but the beauty of lace can most certainly be seen in a number of areas.... at Cocoa Berry we were approached by a gorgeous client who was incorporating lace into the theme of their wedding. We designed some lovely 'lace like' invitations for them and as you can see from the images I've put together below, it can be used in numerous ways...
