…Talking mirrors and poison apples… …Cursed sleep and lethal spindles… …Magic potions in crumbling cauldrons… Between Once Upon a Time and Happily Ever After where jilted witches live deep inside haunted forests and bone-grinding giants roam the skies., you will find the dark side of fairytales, and our inspiration for a beguiling Halloween themed event. We […]
In 2001 Baz Luhrman’s masterpiece “Moulin Rouge” took the cinematic world by storm. Spectacularly theatrical with sumptuous sets, enthralling characters and exquisite costumes, this movie launched a trend for events in the same theme. 16 years later (really!!??? REALLY??!!) it is still one of our favourite themes as it gives the opportunity to create a […]
If you are in the world of design, chances are you have been eagerly awaiting for Pantone to release the official colour of 2017. I was checking every day from the 1st December, and I awoke on Friday 9th to discover it was Pantone shade 15-0343 GREENERY. Lovely! Pantone describes the shade: “Greenery bursts […]
We love shiny things. Especially pretty coloured shiny things, which means we are completely obsessed with the emerging trend of including Geodes and gems in wedding decor and event styling. What is a geode? geode (dʒiːəʊd)noun a small cavity in rock lined with crystals or other mineral matter. These beautiful gem clusters come in all […]
Every year, Pantone, the international authority on colour release the colour of the year. This colour will trend throughout the year and we will see it show up in fashion, beauty and interior design. For the first time, Pantone has bended 2 shades to be the colours of 2016: Rose Quartz & Serenity. Pantone describes […]
This beautiful shoot was styled for Modern Wedding Magazine. Showcasing the gorgeous Gold Coast beach, this was shot at Currumbin by the talented team at Glass Slipper Photography. Thanks to those who supported us on this windy day, especially to our team members Nikki and Emily who helped despite it being an incredibly hectic weekend! […]
When I think of a traditional Christmas table, I think red, green and gold. It is a rich and festive colour scheme, and completely glamourous. Layered dinnerware, textured linens and oodels of candles add to the more is more look, which I am completely on board with. Decorate your tree with millions (yes millions) of […]
As hessian linens and mason jars begin to fade, botanical styling is ready to take it’s place. I love it so much that I don’t even know where to start. It’s still glamourous, but not chandeliers and crystal glam. It’s glamourous for the opulent greens, rich textures of raw wooden furnishings, and worn vintage cutlery. […]
We are in the process of dealing with a fabulous bride who wants us to create a relaxed rustic inspired wedding reception, with lots of gorgeous red accents. After doing a little research, I have totally fallen in love with this theme! It’s so moody and romantic and we just can’t wait to bring it to life. We love dark […]
This lovely rustic wedding was held at O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyard. On a sublime Spring day with grape vines exploding in greenery, Krystle and Dylan said their vows beneath the sprawling arms of an ancient tree. After the ceremony, they treated their guests to a cocktail party in the wine barrel room that was full of quirky personal details that […]
We are introducing to our weekly blog list a post dedicated to one of our fabulous hire items so show you how many different ways it can be used. Today we are looking at our gorgeous silver gleaming lanterns. Some of the images below are from events and photo shoots we have styled, and others we have collected as inspiration from […]
Well….didn’t we have fun with this one! We took the enchanted garden theme to an EPIC level, and the results were nothing short of magic =) This amazing wedding celebrated the undeniable love of two gorgeous people, Joy and Lancho. The couple live in a remote area of Western Australia and have a love of the bush […]
It’s Monday morning and we are gearing up for another busy week in wedding and events land. We have so many AMAZING weddings coming up this month. Can’t wait to create and share them! On this sunny Spring day, I am completely enamoured with Floral Crowns. We have used them before in a few of our styled shoots and I just love […]
Ceiling draping is one of those decor elements that completely transforms the look of the space. Whether is white or bright, plain or dappled with fairylights, it gives the space a soft canopy for you to celebrate in. OR you could just save yourself the trouble and opt for a marquee with silk lining…that’s the easy […]
I don’t know why I am so drawn to luxury. Its just something in me. I shy away from the simple and always gravitate towards detail and layers and decadence. I believe if you are hiring a wedding stylist, the room should look like a professional has been hired in and you haven’t done it yourself (no […]
I’m a BIG fan of Masquerade events. I love the theatre of it all, the extravagance and luxury. So, today I am planning my fantasy Masquerade wedding…. I would of course start with the invitations. I love the idea of a scroll that guests unfold, it has such an old world quality about it. I also love the […]
For a little while now we have been anxiously waiting for some amazing images from a recent styled shoot we coordinated. Jumping out of my skin excited to share these with you!! This shoot was commissioned by O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyard, a sublime spot for a wedding by the way if you haven’t yet found a venue. On an utterly perfect […]
We’re not really a company that follows trends, which is why we haven’t jumped on board with the whole vintage craze. The current trend gracing the wedding scene is of course Bohemian weddings which are a welcome change, and not so “done”. It’s a little more creative and theatrical… so I have had a great time […]
Baroque is a period of artistic style that originated as early as the 1600’s in Europe. Of course I love it because it is absolutely OTT grandeur….an elaboarte dream sequence of ornate tapestries, dazzling oversized jewels, detailed fabrics and luxurious interiors. Our pick of venues for this theme is Palazzo Versace on the Gold Coast – there is nothing else […]
We’re not one to get into trends too much. Your wedding should be a celebration of everything you love, not matter whether it’s “in” on not. So, if we could think of another word for trend we would have! Look at this post as a guide to show you what is becoming popular and how […]
