Changes Afoot – What’s New at Australia Entertains

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

The past few months have been dramatic.  There’s really no other word to describe it.  Personally, I have moved my family back to Australia following the devastating earthquake in Japan where we have been living for a couple of years while my husband is on a posting.  If that wasn’t enough, I’ve agreed to write [...]

Friday, February 25th, 2011

I’m feeling a little more than passionate this morning.  I’ve spent alot of time over the past few weeks writing wedding and party planning guides, tips and trend articles for the Pink Frosting weddings website and I feel pretty honoured to be doing this job.  I don’t want to get all sentimental on you readers, [...]

Honour & Loyalty : Paper Cranes for Weddings

Monday, October 11th, 2010

The perfect symbol for your wedding day.  Paper cranes mean honour and loyalty in Japan, and the Japanese believe that a person who folds 1000 paper cranes will be granted his or her greatest wish.  What a beautiful symbol of your love for one another – the loyalty you hold dear, your greatest wish for [...]

Feather Wedding Decorations for Table Centrepieces

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Ostrich feathers are one of my favourite wedding decorations.  They look so glamorous and they work beautifully in wedding aisles, table centrepieces, in bridal bouquets and so much more.  They scream glamour and style and they really are very easy to work with.
If you’re wanting to create a glamorous table centrepiece using ostrich feather drabs, [...]

Two Love Birds Inspired Wedding Cake

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

I adore the Two Love Birds party supplies at Pink Frosting for weddings, engagements, bridal showers and kitchen teas.  The bird icon in black with a stunning vine and leaf pattern on a Tiffany blue background is a standout range for these celebrations – unusual, sweet and truly sophisticated.

I was contacted by a customer last [...]

Ideas and Inspiration for Planning a Halloween Party in Australia

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I must admit that I’m a pretty late bloomer when it comes to Halloween.  Being such an American tradition, we didn’t celebrate it in Australia when I was growing up.  Watching Halloween specials of the Cosby Show, Roseanne (yes, I confess), the Simpsons and Beverly Hills 90210 was about as spooky as it got around [...]

Cake of the Week: Very Different Cakes

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

If you’re anything like me, you know a party needs three things – delicious wine, great decorations, and cake. Being the fashionista that I am, there’s never going to be a plain cake at my parties! I want my cake to be memorable, especially if it’s for a special occasion.  And not that I have [...]

My Japanese Table

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Pink Frosting is getting some Japanese influence!  And, no don’t worry, Pink Frosting is still Australia’s number one online wedding shop and will continue to be so!
Personally, however, I’m making a huge journey as my husband has been posted to live in Tokyo for three years.  We’ve packed up our house in Canberra and we’re [...]

Words of Wisdom From a Mumpreneur!
