Classic garden parties are such a wonderful way to celebrate in the Australian climate, just about any time of year.  Right now is no exception as the air becomes slightly cooler and the breeze a little bit crisper - no biting sunshine to turn us into lobsters!
Two beautiful ways to style a garden party, whether [...]

I am asked every day by brides what my recommendations are for buying decorations in Australia.  I thought it was time to put together a list of wonderful Australian websites selling decorations that are perfect for weddings and just about every other fantastic event you are hosting.  Here is my ultimate guide to buying wedding [...]

Pink is my favourite colour and a favourite for so many girls around the world.  It reminds us of fairy floss, our mother’s lipstick, perfect sunsets, and marshmallows.  It is a happy colour: full of fun, frivolity and whimsy.  And for entertaining, one of the easiest and most beautiful themes for any party is the favourite [...]

Australia Day is only a week away.  Celebrating our national day is always a treat and usually involves a barbecue, sausages, plenty of cold beer and zinc cream, which is fun but not necessarily the prettiest of parties!  So, my mission for today was to create an Australia Day celebration in a contemporary and fabulous way.  [...]

Frangipanis or Plumeria as they are sometimes known, are blooming everywhere around the coast of Australia right now.  The intoxicating perfume reminds me of my home near Byron Bay and summer holidays spent at the coast.  Casual, beachy and beautiful in every shade, frangipanis are the perfect coastal-theme wedding flower.  No need to be concerned [...]

Fresh flowers really do make an event special. From a single orchid on a place setting to a swathe of rose petals down a wedding aisle, flowers signify celebration, decadence and beauty.
We recently made a hanging carpet of fresh roses which we used as the backdrop to a wedding ceremony. This beautiful carpet [...]

My grandfather has an old fashioned honey pot with a wooden dipper which reminds me of sweet weekends spent with my grandparents when I was a little tyke. I came across a beautiful wedding invitation inspired by honeycomb (see below) which reminded me of this pot and thought what a beautiful theme for a [...]

Spring flowers can reflect romance and tradition, or due to their often dramatic lines and shapes, they can be used in stunning modern displays. The important thing to keep in mind: many of these blooms have relatively short seasons of availability, so work with your florist to determine what will be available in your area [...]

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, [...]
