Happy Monday! What did you get up to on the weekend?
My weekend was full of weddings. On Sunday it was my one year wedding anniversary and RM and I had our first baby-free evening out, although we still had dinner at the parent-friendly hour of 6:30pm. Thank you Kat’s Cakes for our unexpectedly large one year anniversary cake too!
And in a nice turn of events, on Saturday we attended the wedding of a friend which was held in the same location as our own wedding a year before, the Portico Balcony of Melbourne Town Hall. Melbourne turned out a gorgeous sunny day, the bride and groom looked very happy and the father of the bride teared up. Oh I do love a good wedding :–)
So today’s giveaway is well-timed, as I reflect on my wedding and weddings in general. Portobello Bride is a website and blog that features wedding suppliers who are cool, unique and interesting rather than the frou frou and once a year they hold a boutique wedding market. While I have a fear of bridal expos generally, I know what it’s like to work full time, have a busy social life and still try and fit in wedding planning. The Portobello Bride Boutique Wedding Market contains a curated selection of 30 or so stallholders in one place who will hopefully provide you with some creative inspiration beyond the norm.
For brides (and grooms) to be out there, I have 5 free tickets for the market on Saturday 26 March 10am-5pm which is being held at St Kilda Town Hall (cnr Carlisle St and St Kilda Rd). All you have to do is leave a comment below and the first 5 responses will win. If you miss out you can still purchase tickets for Saturday or Sunday here or at the door. Good luck!
I’d love to go with my best friend – she’s getting married this November.
Well, I would just love to win tickets (excited about pending nuptials!)… and I think I would love a big piece of that delicious looking cake!
I love weddings too, and I can hear wedding bells.
Hello Joyce!!
That is a beautiful cake! Did you manage to eat it all with RM?
For brides (and grooms) to be out there … YES ! I d love to win those tickets
Happy 1st wedding anniversary too

S
I would like to go please!
im trying to plan mine – longest engagement – 3 years!!
I’d love a free ticket. More funds towards the wedding!
This is so timely! My fiance and I have no idea how to start planning, especially since we can’t decide whether to hold it in Melbourne, or Singapore (where I come from), or both. I certainly hope this will help.
Oh, but I guess I’ve missed the giveaway.
Well, you know every year when spring knock on our doors he also gives us the many invitations of weddings and ceremonies. It is the ideal time of the year when you love everything so a good time to do the marriage or engagement :-).
Hi Joyce, happy anniversary to you and your husband. I love attending weddings especially if I see the groom crying when he sees the bride walking on the aisle! This time, the father cried? Wow. That cake looks delicious, but yes, me too missed your giveaway.
