Green Wedding

I may be a little bit fascinated with beautifully designed and thought out weddings. Ok, maybe a lot a bit. But who could blame me with little emeralds like this. Alyson & Levi's wedding is perfectly styled, claiming inspiration from mother nature and all things daintily rustic. The overall effect is an effortless and wholesome event as you can see from the pictures. The bride, Alyson, who I believe was creatively directing the wedding creates a lush, green feeling, full of unique little botanical curiosities. The canoe (above) in yellow, adds a wonderful burst of colour in a green and linen haven.

One of my favourite things about this wedding are the details. Everything from the postage stamps on the invitations to the cocktail sticks in the bread have been considered and fastidiously coordinated. And the details make all the difference.






I'm sure they had a wonderful and memorable day and have given me plenty of design inspiration in the meantime. Thank you Alyson and Levi!

Ultimate Meat Shop

Victor Churchill butchers shop in Sydney, Australia may not be breaking news, but it is an inspiring space calling out to be visited. "Churchill’s Butchery -has operated in the space since 1876, so it was an appropriate location for what the Puharichs envisioned as a European-inspired designer shop of meaty delights."

"With the interior designed by Michael McCann of Dreamtime Australia, the store is quite unlike any butcher store in Australia. Gone are the traditional refrigerated cabinets and parsley dressed meats, replaced with a store infused with European style. Rich timber wall panelling, timber beamed ceiling and Italian Calacatta marble stone floor, Himlayian salt brick walls create the new interior of Victor Churchill."

Krafftstoff Vodka

Now, I am hardly a vodka expert, but this packaging makes it seem a lot more interesting looking. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the thinking behind the design, but it is obvious that a lot of inspiration has been drawn from the hip flask. The result is a gorgeous etched looking container which is almost a piece of art in itself.

The images featured on the flasks reminds me of some sort of Viking myths, which is only speculation. I would be interested to find out the inspiration for the scenes. The flasks won a bronze award at the 2009 German Art Director’s Club Competition, was included in the D&AD Awards book, was awarded silver at the New York Festivals, and was shortlisted in the One Show Design awards.




The flasks are available to buy from The Deli Garage website
