Red never goes out of style as the colour of honour for Christmas celebrations of every kind.  Red on white is my favourite for the holiday season.  Red is traditional, fun, frivolous and very very hot all at once.  If you’re planning a Christmas party for friends, loved ones or colleagues this year, here are some seriously good [...]

With only eleven weeks until Christmas, it really is time to start planning your holiday parties, entertaining, decorations and calendar.  If Christmas always seems to creep up on you, make 2008 the first holiday season you plan everything well in advance and get organised for a more relaxed and fun December.

Anyone who has had a scout around this site will know that I’m a big fan of decorating with lanterns for weddings and other special occasions as they are a budget conscious way to achieve a dramatic high-impact result. The amazing Vanessa from I Do Events Whitsundays has a similar passion for lanterns and sent [...]

We recently collaborated with our favourite Canberra florist, Manuka Flowers to create a truly unique and stunning red-and-crystal themed centrepiece for a wedding at the National Museum of Australia. They truly stole the show!

Sue and her team from Manuka Flowers assembled the centrepieces using a tall glass vase, filled with clear cellophane and red-dyed [...]

To end off our Martha-inspired week of posts, here are her gorgeous table setting ideas. I must admit that I’m a fan of bling, sparkle and lots of over-the-top decor at Christmas (at what other time of the year can you really go all-out?) and some of the ideas here are a little dry [...]

Christmas is just around the corner now (amazing, I know) and our truly gorgeous Christmas crackers are ready to be shipped. If last year is anything to go by, we will run out of these special table decorations early, so we strongly encourage you to place your order now.

Happy Celebrating!

When I think of yellow, I always think of daisies, warmth, happiness and silliness. Yellow really is a wonderful event theme colour as it evokes these happy feelings in your guests.
Thankfully, there are some wonderful yellow design options around right now… particularly as we morph from the daffodil yellows of spring to the muted [...]

I was lucky enough to visit a famous LA floral design studio yesterday as part of a retail design tour I attended. FloralArtLA really does bring an inventive twist to floral design. It’s so easy for a florist to go overboard with their shopfit and displays, but FloralArt was able to combine colour, [...]

I visited a huge market with amazing stationery, giftware and decor today in LA. There were halls and halls of Christmas decorations to enchant. It was magnificent.
Earlier this year, I predicted that Christmas and next year would be full of the following themes and I’m delighted to let you know that these themes [...]

Oh my goodness, they certainly do things with big, bold style in Texas! I knew immediately that I was in the South as soon as I arrived at the Bridal Extravaganza Show in Houston today. The front of the exhibition hall was littered with gorgeous linens, enormous tall floral towers and rhinestones, rhinestones [...]
