Olivia’s Harry Potter themed 10th Birthday Party

admin — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 19:07:45 +0000

Turning 10 is pretty special and for Hogwarts fans out there, what better way to celebrate than to throw a Harry Potter party! Complete with handmade wands for all of the party guests and the most incredible cake created by the talented Velvetier, we had a hoot of a time styling some magic into this lolly buffet for dearest Olivia. Happy Birthday!

Real Wedding – Peg and Dave {Brisbane City Hall}

admin — Sat, 30 Jul 2016 14:47:36 +0000

This wedding is close to my heart in so many ways, the wedding of my beautiful sister Peggie and her Dave. Peggie chose her favourite interior design style ”British Colonial with a lush tropical feel” and the final result was absolutely breathtaking. Featured in Queensland Brides magazine and Polka Dot Bride blog this wedding was so much fun to style with Peg because we knew it was going to be something completely unique in a “wedding styling” sense plus be a night that our family and friends will enjoy. Creating the bridal bouquets for my sister was also a very sentimental moment for me too!

Thankfully we could do 90% of the set up the day before in the Brisbane room at Brisbane City Hall. I was honoured to be bridesmaid on the big day so we enlisted the expert hands from my dear friends Kelly from Bella Bloom Floral Design to complete the tall monstera leaf arrangements and Bec from Style My Celebration to complete the food styling for us, both at the ceremony charcuterie board/drink station and the lolly buffet at the reception. We can’t thank them enough for their wonderful assistance on the big day. Enjoy!

The Tivoli Theatre Brisbane was the perfect backdrop for this Art Deco inspired wedding shoot. Masterfully shot by Timeless Tales Photography. We worked with a rich colour palette of navy, burgundy and copper tones which gave this very special shoot a beautiful balance of masculine and feminine notes.

When I was invited by Mel over at The Vintage Bride Magazine (previously titled The Vintage and Handmade Bride) to style a dessert table for an autumn harvest inspired shoot I couldn’t wait to start doing some mock ups. You’ll see our vintage sewing machine drawers used to hold napkins, cookie bags and fresh flowers. Spiced apple cider in our rattan drink dispensers, vintage plates, crates, cinnamon sticks, pumpkins, cookie jars, wood and metal lanterns and of course the token hay bale. Beautifully photographed by Sam from The Gehrmanns, she manages to capture such pure, tender moments by our real couple models.

Styled Shoot: Modern Elegance

admin — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:56:26 +0000

If you’re after something a little more modern this Metro Black and White Table Runner is a great starting point in which to build your colour palette for your table. This smart tile pattern in black and white pairs easily with a multitude of colours, think fuchsia pink or teal, all the while still coming off looking fresh, clean and modern. We’ve also used our Silver Wave Charger Plates to bring a hint of silver to the table, our Clear Tapered Glass Candlesticks and the fresh flower arrangement is in our medium Fishbowl Vase . To add some more colour to the table we simply added pops of bracken fern to the dinner plates and lined our Clear Glass Votive Holders.

We just love the table number showcased in this sleek little yellow photo frame by Whitehill, but unfortunately we could only get our hands on one of them. We’re keeping our eye out for some more or something similar!
