Creating memorable events, where even the smallest of details celebrates your taste, style and personality.

The vast ceilings and large windows of .southmelbourne give us a unique feature to work with - natural light.As the sun in the sky begins to hide away, the light dances on new aspects of the interior. Bouncing off any reflective surface like the way it hits crystal, silk or even cutlery. It shape-shifts the mood according to natures will, creating a mood and atmosphere that only became more dreamlike with each dance.

C R E A T I V E S I N B U S I N E S S —As I can tell you from experience, operating your business from a place of scarcity never goes well. From both a financial and mindset perspective, telling yourself that you are not worthy in investing in you and your business can only be detrimental to your overall purpose.

YOU are your biggest investment. When you have unwavering faith in your purpose, you must back yourself -

✨ So that your business remains at the forefront of the industry
✨ By engaging with others who you admire and seek mentorship
✨ To build more confidence and speak up for what you do

I am so passionate about supporting creatives in business reach their highest potential. For all creative resources and mentoring services, visit the ‘Creatives’ tab on my website.

Congratulations to Nigel and Lindsey… The essence of them reverberated through the whole ceremony space. In the romantic blooms and luxurious gardens. Pops of orange and accents of dried oranges are weaved in and mirrored in the reception styling.

It was a day marked by both classic features and the love that defines them.

A window into our recent event with Yarra Trail… Celebrating a new direction for Australian style in all its authenticity, raw simplicity and effortlessness. Both evident in our style, but also in our values as a people.

All of this was reflected in the earthy, effortless nature of the styling for this day.

More to share in the upcoming weeks ✨

Pinch me, it must be a dream…Up close and personal with the place settings for John and Leanne. The star of the show was the personalised menus from .reflect which uplifted the neutral palette through the olive tone and scalloped envelope design.

Thank you to all the incredible vendors who collaborated to make this day what it was.

Reliving the vibes of a Euro summer with reflections from the archives... Alex and Carly's 2023 wedding at the ✨

The Queensland-based couple were married in Victoria because it made sense to be where their families were, however we wanted to capture the essence of a luxurious mediterranean day much like their lifestyles represent.

This culminated in vibrant bursts of colour through floral arrangements by with a mix of fresh citrus, beside bespoke illustrated menus from . The whole affair embodied luxury but in a way that was so authentic to Alex and Carly.

We really set out to embody a sophisticated modern romance for Leanne and John.It was a textural playground of satin, acrylic, bountiful blooms and a fairytale blush palette. As the light began to fade with the sun, the room became bathed in shadows and light reflected on the beautiful styling moments.

Congratulations on such a wonderful love-filled day 🤍

C R E A T I V E S I N B U S I N E S S .Having been in the industry for about fifteen years now, I’ve seen the difference that strong relationships can have on business. Relationships with vendors, other creatives and, of course, our clients.

Having the skills and tenacity is important, but the networking will truly drive your business to where you want it to go. By focusing on…

✨ Building genuine, aligned partnerships
✨ Defining your ideal customer/client
✨ Focus on creating and keeping a customer/client
✨ Leveraging every opportunity!

Some palettes just make sense and John & Leanne’s certainly did. Notes of pale butter, coral, pale blush and green for a look that speaks modern elegance at its core.

C R E A T I V E S I N B U S I N E S S .Unveiling your personal style and brand as a creative is a process…

It’s something you hone over time, not a box you tick when you start your business. Ruffles & Bells is such an evolution over each client that I’ve had, mentors I’ve spent time with, travels, life experiences and so much more. I also made a concerted effort to develop this brand, through -

✨ Absorbing inspiration and cataloguing the beauty I saw (I still do this!)
✨ I identified my ideal client and asked myself if my personal brand aligned with that
✨ Be consistent in the way you show up - on social media, in your branding, networking etc

On a journey to unveil your brand’s story? For all 1:1 mentoring services and resources, follow the Creatives tab at my website.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of CBD Melbourne, we created a lush, romantic scene for John and Leanne. Embracing an elegant pattern that speaks to the timelessness of the vision but feels decidedly modern at the same time. The shifting of light as the sun set again transformed the space, reflecting off the mixed metals and setting a moody ambience for the night.

This wedding was truly divine…

For Oli and Gigi at we endeavoured to not just dabble in the unexpected, but to revel in it. We painted a scene that was so rich and effortlessly luxurious. It somehow exudes both minimalism and maximalism all at once.One thing is for sure, it stole our hearts 💍💋

Unveiling a venue that aligns with your wedding day vision...The venue will become a very meaningful part of your journey as a couple. In my fifteen years in this industry, I have found that the best considerations are as follows -

💍 Does it align with you as a couple? From your love story, to your unique style.
💍 Is the architecture aligned with your personal style and the aesthetic direction of your wedding?
💍 Can you utilise the natural beauty around it? Ask the venue co-ordinator to show you all aspects of the property.
💍 At what time of day will the lighting best showcase the venue, or how can you utilise the lighting to make the most of it?
💍 Explore the options for indoor-outdoor entertainment to unveil your desired atmosphere.

Searching for the perfect venue? Save this one for your wedding planning journey...
