So, I am an abolute SUCKER for any period dramas and anything oldy worldy. I was completely besotted with Underbelly Razor because it was set in the 1920’s. Even further back than that is Downton Abbey which I dropped everything for every Sunday night it aired last year. I’m EXCEPTIONALLY excited to know it returns […]
Ok, so our usual style is pretty glamourous and lavish…more is more and we love striking colours and textured fabrics and crystal and diamonds and fairy lights and well, I could just go on all day. This Saturday however we are styling a few tables at the Babalou Bridal Showcase and one of them is totally […]
Last weekend we styled a gorgeous wedding. The bride asked for a relaxed dinner party atmosphere, dripping with roses and candlelight. We can do that! This wedding was not one of the bigger weddings we have planned, actually one of the smaller. The bride was relaxed and easy going, trusting us to make decisions on […]
We love luxury. We love lavish weddings and events where every detail has been planned precisely and exactly with sumptuous detail. We love rooms and decor that take your breath away, centrepieces dripping with fresh flowers and exquisite mood lighting. We love creativity and colour, whethere it’s on a beach or in a ballroom, in an […]
Easter is done and dusted for another year…we are polishing off the last of our eggs tonight and to be honest, looking forward to getting back into a regime of healthy eating and exercise! We had the pleasure of styling an Easter Tea Party for our nearest & dearest and it was so much fun! […]
Whenever a bride-to-be enquires about our styling service, the first thing we discuss is the theme of the wedding. We love it that every couple has different tastes, themes and colours they want to bring to life in their wedding, so the first thing we do to make sure we are on the right track […]
I am a music lover. I have a weakness for hip hop and anything funky, but I am by no means limited to that and love a wide and eclectic style from Fleetwood Mac to 50 Cent, Janet Jackson to Jameriqui, Beethoven to Beyonce. In a perfect world, I would get married every couple of […]
I’m snatching a few spare minutes at 9.20pm on a Tuesday to write a quick blog about one of our favourite weddings to date. It was in November last year and if truth be told it was planned all fairly last minute, but the results were fabulous. The wedding was held in the function room at […]
This theme was inspired by the classic white wedding with our signature theatrical edge. This look was to conjure feelings of minimalist elegance, sophistication, the crisp clean lines of white linen and gorgeous crystal. Splashes of silver and bling coupled with our contemporary Louis Ghost Chairs gave the look a modern edge which was set […]
Since I was a child I have dreamt about fairies who live at the bottom of the garden. In high school, whilst studying Shakespeare I discovered A Midsummer Night’s Dream and I was hooked. No matter what the occasion, I look for an excuse to have a party in the garden and it was only fitting that […]
If you are having a themed wedding steeped in drama and romance, La Belle Epoque is worth a look! Recently this theme was featured on the Little Wed Hen blog (thank you!) Here’s a re-cap of the story…. “Our philosophy is simple,” says Decinda “Cinderella” MacDonald of Sugar and Spice Events. “It’s to create jaw-dropping, theatrical weddings with lavish […]
In a couple of weeks we are helping to style a Shabby Chic wedding in Brisbane. The DIY bride has sourced alot of elements herself and it is our job to bring them altogether and make the look flow. What is shabby chic? A form of interior design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for […]
The loyal fans of Sugar & Spice Events know that I’ve been in Japan for a couple of weeks. Seeing snow for the first time and how it effected the landscape was inspiring to say the least. Every time I looked up at the snow covered mountains dotted with silver trees, I imagined how amazing […]
In mid 2010, I started working on a wedding after meeting a bride at an expo. I didn’t know then that this wedding would turn out to be one of the most lavish and luxurious events I had ever worked on. It became a juggernaught, bigger than Ben Hur, exquisitely detailed from napkin rings to […]
A few months ago I was commissioned to help plan and style a 30th birthday party with a Burlesque theme. How exciting! This is truly a chance to put my theatrical flair into practice and deliver a seamless soiree experience with stunning theming and incredible entertainment. The birthday girl listened to my ideas and took […]
This isn’t mine, but I couldn’t have said it better so I’ve borrowed it! It’s definitely worth reading if you are planning on getting married….enjoy! A wedding can be an incredibly scary undertaking, especially when you’re not sure where to start.Weddings are among the most beautiful, yet most stressful events we have to look forward […]
We are nearly ready to launch our new site with the new theme colour of GREEN! It has always been my favourite colour so was an apt choice. Green Tree Frogs are my favourite little creature and I love to surround myself with the green of the forest. I was keen to know what it […]
