Mrs. Jaguar's Picture
Mrs. Jaguar, Sydney Age and Occupation: 27, Primary School Teacher Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, IT Consultant Engagement Date: August 8, 2009 Wedding Date: June 2011 Venue: Curzon Hall About Me: I'm an Australian girl who is a self-proclaimed nerd, loves all things stationery and would be lost without books, music and the internet. Mr. Jaguar and I have been together for the past eight years and he finally popped the question last August. Hurrah! We currently live in Sydney, Australia with our adorable cat who thinks he's a person. We're a couple who likes to multi-task: we've been planning a wedding abroad, a permanent move from London to Sydney, and preparing to build our own home all at the same time. Travelling makes me giddy...as does Mr. Jaguar, of course!

Designs by Momma Jaguar

December 6th, 2010 @ 11:02 am by Mrs. Jaguar

Momma Jaguar is a scrapbooker.
Momma Jaguar loves weddings.

Put them together, and you have a very crafty and clever lady who is loving that we get to talk dresses and colours and invitations!

Since I’ve been thousands of miles away from her during our engagement, we’ve relied on emails and instant messages to talk wedding, and she’s my go-to person when I realise I’ve misplaced my favourite picture of ____ (insert dress, cake, shoes, floral arrangement here). It always amazes me that she’s kept so many of my crazy rambles, and she’s saved me having to spend hours on google trying to find that image that I’ve lost.

Recently, she sent me one of the sweetest things I’ve seen so far: an email with a ‘surprise’ attached. My awesome mum designed my very own inspiration board, made with images I’d sent to her over the last year of planning!

It’s a work in progress, but it was nice to see a few of the dresses I’d bookmarked over the months highlighted and printed out. And also, wow, I love that bouquet—are those calla lilies I spy? I wonder where I saved that picture? Momma J…?

I’ll definitely be using some of her scrapbooking knowledge to help me with the paper products I’m hoping to do myself, and for the wedding pictures afterwards, of course. I’ll have to make sure she’s up to date reading the ‘Bee, so she can update the board with some of my new favourite inspiration shots!

Do you have a crafty mom? How is she lending a crafty hand to your wedding planning?

Wow, that is so amazing! I kind of wish my parents cared more. It’s nice not to have to worry about whether they approve of stuff, but this makes me jealous for sure.

That was so sweet of your mom! My mom is a great seamstress, so she’ll be making my garters and a pillow for our ring bearer.

My mom is definitely crafty and when I finally got home from Japan she showed me all the things she had printed out from my e-mails and her wedding binder - I didn’t even have one of those!

I LOVE the dress on the top right! I thought about getting it, but it was too expensive for me :(

My mom isn’t so crafty. But… she can work a labelmaker like no other, and cut tape to wrap around votive candleholders. That’s what we’re working on now. My FMIL is super crafty, though. She’s making the bouquets and bouts based on Mrs. Locket’s tutorial. I’m a very happy girl right now :)
