Where wisteria grows, Nigel and Lindsey began their forever story.

We imbued upon the gardens of the the vision of a beautiful Italian summer holiday. Laid-back with earthy tones of orange and blush, the brief was an Italian-inspired garden party with a Melbourne-twist.

Fashion is inherently linked to a wedding. Every guest wondering, ‘What are the couple wearing?’

The search for the perfect gown for a bride is personal. She is looking for something that makes her truly feel at her best. As a stylist and planner of many years now, we always consider the fashion as part of the wedding design and I ask a bride to consider a few things -

✨ Set a budget
✨ Discover your wedding style
✨ Start shopping early

The simplicity in the details for Brent and Joyce’s tablescape were what made it truly stunning…

A frosted table number. Embossed gold tennis racquets on the menus. Chopsticks. A centrepiece of candles. Simple expressions that tell us exactly who the couple are, in its most beautiful form.

Brent and Joyce’s wedding design was a true unveiling of romance and grandeur.

Classic florals were elevated by unexpected whimsical arrangements. Candles floated in water. Minimal stationery accented with symbols of their love story. Although set in the hustle and bustle of Melbourne, their union set the action to a standstill. Within the ballroom of their romance bloomed.

Reflecting on little moments from Sarah and Nick that inspire and the palette could not have been more romantic. Pale blush pinks? We could be surrounded by them every day.

We embraced theatrical drapery throughout the reception and there was no need for overdone tablescapes - in fact, we kept them quite minimal and whimsical to draw the eye upwards. Instead, light glistened over the abundance of glass to enhance the ambient lighting that created the drama.

LOOKBOOK vs FINAL DESIGN —

Sarah and Nick. Their day was nothing short of magical... an exhibition of grandeur in the form of old Hollywood with inspiration from Le Moulin Rouge. We wanted everything to feel like a theatrical experience, from the drapery to the ambient lighting and the floral installations.

No stone left unturned... or rather, no detail left unturned, where every corner was an opportunity to supplement the drama.

Congratulations Sarah and Nick on the beginning of your forever.

C R E A T I V E S . . . ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Save this one if you’re on a journey to turning your passion into profit. It might be one of the most rewarding parts of being a creative in business. But that is not to say that it isn’t a whirlwind. Growing from a creative to a business woman took a few brave steps -

✨ Defining my passion
✨ Identifying my audience
✨ Building my brand
✨ Preparing to monetise

And the truth is I’m always working on it. If you need support on this journey, visit the Creatives tab at my website to see all my mentoring resources.

All the moments from Sarah and Nick that we’ll store in our memories forever…​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Imagine you arrive through an arched door embellished with more blooms than you can count. The sound of a romantic violin gently plays, underscoring each moment. You are guided to your seat to see two people you love join their life forever.

The fairytale continues in a blush, dreamy reception with so much theatrical flair you feel like you’re in a movie.

And so began Sarah and Nick’s forever love story.

Effortless and organic. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ nailed the brief for our recent event for Yarra Trail to pay homage to Australian style.

Often the floral arrangements play such a large part in your event styling, so having a florist on board who can dream big is truly an asset.

The subtle industrialism of served as the perfect juxtaposition to the garden-like design for Sarah and Nick. The synergy between the ruffled cake and wishing well with the abundance in the roses is an ode to organic luxury. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​All in all, delivering this scene to the guests felt like unveiling an old Hollywood story…
