She’s a little bit fancy & stands out in a crowd. She comes in all different colours that we’ve curated for you, or you can order custom colours to match your event or business logo.

Our “fancy garlands” are available in kit form to be posted all over Australia with simple instructions and even links to a YouTube video. I know it might look intimidating, but trust me - you can’t get it wrong.

If you just don’t have the time though, go to the ‘click and collect’ section of our website and you’ll see an inflated version you can order for pick up from our Melbourne store.

These beauties can stay looking fancy for weeks on end, so they’re perfect for decorating for longer lasting events & displays.

It’s time to get creative & fancy friends!

I don’t know about you, but Sunday night in our house involves a lot of looking ahead, logistics planning & prepping for the week to come. We hold high hopes of being fully organised and totally on top of things, but in reality it often ends up with increased levels of overwhelm & a strong desire to run away from our far too overloaded lives.

Is it the same at your house?

When your venue doesn’t allow balloons, but you want to make an impact …

Or you want to decorate a space and still have it looking awesome a month later …

Meet our reusable streamer garlands. We make them by hand here in our party wonderland. They come in three lengths ‘fringe’, ‘garland’ and ‘wall’ & this image shows them all together with a bit of foil curtain thrown in for extra fun.

All ready to hang they come in all the colours you could dream of. This one is called ‘pink shimmer’ and matches a whole bunch of other pink and shimmery things we make too!

Online & instore. 💖

Hot tip Tuesday: getting confetti to stick to the side of the balloon 🎈

Static makes it stick. So, once inflated rub it on your jumper to create static. Woollen jumpers are best which most of us are probably wearing anyway at this time of year here in Melbourne! We keep a ball of wool in the shop just for this purpose and it works a treat! Rub the wool where the confetti is and move the balloon upside down and around until you’ve got a good coverage.

Filled with only air the confetti is more likely to stick to the sides of the balloon, but if you’re adding helium - inflate with a little air first so that you get the best confetti coverage.

We recommend using a pump (hand or electric) to inflate, so that moisture doesn’t get in.

Good luck! Any questions, just ask. We’re happy to share our knowledge.

Flowers
Disco balls
Balloons
Confetti
Streamers
Pom poms

They are never too old for balloons! 🎈

We have had so many parents come into the shop recently buying balloons for their kids in their late teens and early twenties to wake up to on the morning of their birthday. A tradition started years ago that they are still asking for.

Others are taking balloons to the airport to welcome their kids home! Or to cheer them up & remind them of their support during exams or in hospital.

We love helping you show your kids how much you love them, no matter how old!

Hot tip: If you want your balloons to last the distance & bring joy for days? Choose the foil balloons.

20/07/2024

I’m so sorry. This is so last minute. I’m a terrible parent.

Words that I hear daily from customers and if I’m honest, I’ve definitely said myself far too many times.

As parents we are so very hard on ourselves. We can have such high expectations of the way we think we should be that it can get overwhelming. I need to remind myself daily to be gentle with myself.

So, if you need party supplies super last minute, no need to apologise. Poppies is a safe space, we totally get it. Life is fuuuuull and we just can’t always keep all the balls in the air and be prepared months in advance for everything all of the time.

We’re stocked full of ready to go party supplies that will bring instant fun & joy. No prep required. We’ve got you.

Need your decorations to last more than just a day? This is your answer friends!

Our balloon garlands are only filled with air, so they will last for weeks & weeks and our handmade reusable streamer garlands will last for years & years! It means no rushing around on the morning of the event because you will have sorted it all long before!

Did you know we ship our DIY balloon garland kits all over Australia & beyond? A gorgeous mix of curated colours & all you need to create this super fun & simple backdrop!

Our reusable streamer garlands come pre-made & ready to hang and we can ship those to you too! How cute do they look together?! 👯

I love that hand written cards are still a thing!

In this fast paced world, there’s something extra special about knowing that someone has taken the time to choose a card & then sit down and think about you as they wrote.

We have a huge range of absolutely gorgeous cards here at Poppies and I love knowing the joy they will bring for both the giver and the receiver.

This cute party cupcake is from one of our very fave card designers -

Some motivational words from one of our fave Aussie designers on this sunny Sunday afternoon.

Whether you’re asking yourself the question, can I justify a quick nap on the couch or can I find the motivation to get up off the couch? The answer is the same.

Which question are you asking?

04/07/2024

Can’t decide what colour? Do them both! 😘

This is actually our “baby shower fancy garland” but obviously you can use it to decorate for any event you’d like! It comes as a DIY pack l, so you can mix up the colours and play around with the set up.

Or if you’d like us to assemble for you, just choose the inflated version on our website and you can come & collect in store or we can organise delivery for you.

Oh and also featured here are our fantastically versatile fillable cake stands, gorgeous linens that you can find in our store along with delicious cakes !

Feeling like this image is a good representation of my mind right now.

Full of lots of colour & fun, but underneath desperately trying to hold on to all of the strings.

Similar to the juggling analogy that we parents often refer to - a little afraid of what will happen if we drop one so we just keep juggling/hanging on.

Bring on school holidays I say! Last day of term here in Victoria and I’m ready for at least some of the balls that I’m juggling to have a rest for a bit & to release a few strings.

How about you?

HOT TIP TUESDAY 🧁 🌈 Break the rules!

Because there are no rules when it comes to party decorating! Get creative!

Just because something is labeled cake or cupcake topper, doesn’t mean you have to use it for that!

Who has the time to make cupcakes anyway?! Throw the toppers into fruit, sandwiches, donuts or anything you like! Then fill the cupcake cases with popcorn, grapes or your favourite snack!

Every day food becomes a party in no time at all and no staying up until midnight baking cupcakes before the party!

PS - as a gift just for you, we’ve snuck a few of our popular cupcake kits into our big sale for a very limited time! They won’t be there for long before they pop back to the usual price, so you might want to stock up.

PPS Come back next Tuesday for more sanity & budget saving hot tips! 🔥

Bringing the fun and joy to a celebration doesn’t have to involve too much overthinking or to look perfectly executed. It can be as simple as throwing lots of colour around, inviting your favourite people and eating cake.

Let me give you a minute to let that sink in. Her calendar is spilling over with Wedding Photography bookings and wouldn’t you want her there, on your big day, capturing all that joy if you could? Of course, she is happy (with love & envy!) for Festive Photos to carry on without her. This year we have @nikoleramsay 😱 and @becmathesonphotography 😱 behind the camera. Trust me when I say they are both exceptional. Bec of Bec Matheson Photography is a Melbourne-based family, newborn, and wedding photographer who specialises in creating joyful, uncomplicated photos that celebrate the beauty of real-life. Bec photographs my family every few years & it’s a tradition I’ll be dragging the kids to even when they’re no longer kids. Nikole is an editorial & commercial photographer. Her work has graced the pages of some of Australia’s most loved lifestyle magazines including Inside Out, Elle, Home Beautiful and Country Style, to name just a few. Nikole is our beloved Poppies For Grace photographer, so any pictures you’ve seen of Sara & I & our kids on our social media, that’s her handy work. With these two on board we are in for a festive treat!
