Colour Inspiration – Navy

We’re finding that navy is a big colour for weddings this season. Our brides are particularly loving our ‘Tiara’ flower girl dresses with navy sashes and sometimes a splash of navy satin on the hem too!

In my ‘travels’ on the web I’ve found some gorgeous ideas for navy weddings. I hope you find some inspiration in these images…

Something extra special for your special day…

Posted August 10th, 2010 by veryspec and filed in cake toppers, keepsakes, personalised, wedding

NEW in store – Personalised made-to-order wedding cake toppers. You may remember that we have offered a similar product before…
We have since started working with a new supplier and we think these gorgeous little creations are even better than the ones we were previously offering to our lovely customers.
These stunning cake toppers are made-to-order to your specifications, right down to the eye colour of the bride and groom! Feel free to contact us for pricing and further information.


Master Chef and Macarons!

I’m very much looking forward to tonight’s Master Chef Australia. The contestants will be making towers of French Macarons (macaroons)!

We LOVE macarons at Very Special Celebrations. If you’ve never tasted a macaroon you don’t know what you’re missing! Watch Master Chef tonight and if you like what you see, feel free to contact us to place an order! That’s right, as I’ve mentioned before, we sell these lovely little treats in our store.

When packaged creatively, they make unique bomboniere… or why not try a macaron pyramid? A pyramid or tower of macaroons is a fantastic alternative to a wedding cake or any special occasion cake!


Until next time…

I’ve had several brides in the store recently, checking out our purple coloured confectionery, lilac coloured flower girl baskets and ring pillows, lavender coloured bomboniere and so on… It seems purple (and anything related) is currently a very popular colour for weddings!
For those of you who LOVE purple, here are some pics to inspire…

Unique Wedding Cake Toppers

Posted September 16th, 2009 by veryspec and filed in bridal gown, cake toppers, personalised, wedding


A couple of days ago I mentioned the work of Angela from Cowboys and Cupcakes. I thought I’d continue the theme by featuring these delightful little bride and groom wooden, hand-painted wedding cake toppers. Angela is supplying us with these little gems exclusively, so we’re proud to say we’re the only store in Australia with these particular creations! If you like the look of our in-store samples you can take a pair home, but the real fun in these is that you can order your cake toppers to reflect elements of your bridal gown, your groom’s outfit, and your hair colour. These personalised products make wonderful keepsakes and are truly unique!

Expo Recovery

Posted September 14th, 2009 by veryspec and filed in bridal expo, keepsakes, wedding, wedding plates

Well, we survived our first bridal expo! I’ve just spent the weekend at Brisbane’s Ideal Bride and Formal Expo with the much valued help of my parents and husband! I’m exhausted but thrilled to have been involved. It was wonderful to meet so many brides and other wedding providers. These pictures show a small part of our display, including a new product for Very Special Celebrations – a fun wedding plate created by Angela of Cowboys and Cupcakes. These cute plates can be personalised with names and caricatures of the bride and groom, as an interesting wedding keepsake.

We have so many other new products in-store that I’m really excited about… more news to come!
