Water for Elephants - Film Love

Water for Elephants is a gorgeous film starring
Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon. 


I fell instantly in love with their characters and of course, Rosie the Elephant, 


and even the despicable villain, a crucial element for an unforgettable story.


I love the colours of the circus, the iconic red and white stripes, and in this case the era, the 1930s.



Reese Witherspoon wore the most gorgeous dresses in the film, and her hair had the perfect curls!



If you fell in love with Robert Pattinson in the Twilight movies, you will fall for him all over again in this one, as his character is another kind-hearted romantic.


I also loved the music - so mellow and vintagey.
I was swept away into another era.

Here are some pics from a photo shoot of a wedding with a Water for Elephants theme. If you have even a slight love of vintage these beautiful pics will warm your heart.  

The engagement:





 The invites (sigh!):


The wedding ceremony:



and the reception:












Isn't it just beautiful?

Rosie and Marlena - A Snap, A Set and a Song

     Thursday is the day I play along with Thea at A Snap, A Set, and A Song.
        This week's theme is Rose and, as I've recently just watched the film
   Water for Elephants, the first thing that came to mind was Rosie the elephant.
