Creativity with purpose is what we love most.

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter styling or one-size-fits-all décor. Every brand, every client, and every event has its own personality — and we’re here to bring that to life in the most beautiful and memorable way possible.

We love custom making special items....for a recent event, we hand-dyed and crafted these giant paper peonies. With blooms up to 60cm diameter and standing up to 2m high, these had a massive presence designed to reflect a clean, contemporary aesthetic for a gala and awards dinner for a beauty brand.

I loved making them, and they came out even more stunning than I had hoped — but they took hours of work and my fingers might tell a different story with the amount of glue-gun burns!

But the point is, when you want to make an impact, we’ll help you express your brand through meaningful design that tells your story — beautifully.

Ready to create something that feels uniquely you?
Let’s connect and talk about your next event.

PS: These giant peonies are now available for hire, and we have 4 moss stands each with a cluster of 3 peonies in different heights...to make a beautiful statement

✨ You bring the ring — we’ll take care of everything else.

You’ve planned every detail of your wedding… but who’s going to set it all up?

You’ve spent months planning, sourcing décor, creating signage, and dreaming of how it will all look on the day. But as the countdown begins, reality hits — who’s actually going to put it all together?

Your wedding morning should be filled with excitement, celebration, and those once-in-a-lifetime moments getting ready and feeling relaxed — not anxious as you hang signage, style tables, or try to remember how many candles go on each table!

That’s where we come in.

Our Venue Setup Service is designed for couples who’ve curated all their décor and want a professional team to bring it to life — seamlessly and beautifully.

We’ll take care of everything: from a venue walkthrough and liaising with suppliers, to setting up every last detail exactly as you imagined. Need a few extras? You can also hire from our curated collection or have us create your wedding florals to complete the look.

This service gives you total peace of mind — so when you walk into your venue, you’ll have that moment of pure joy: “It’s exactly how I pictured it.”

"I get bored with the same old stuff"

As a creative, I’m all about the details — the unique ideas that make your event feel personal, exciting - and designed to suit you.

If you’re a lover of all things beautiful — whether you have just a few ideas or a gazillion swirling around in your head — together we’ll take those ideas and explore every possibility.

From Weddings to Milestone Birthdays, Anniversaries, Corporate Events to any Special Occasion....we’ll brainstorm, daydream, and uncover creative concepts until we land on something that feels perfectly you.

Because if the thought of a cookie-cutter celebration makes you cringe, and the idea of something truly unique makes your heart race… we’re going to get along brilliantly.

If this sounds like you, let’s chat! Send a message or book a free online consultation through our website. It’s the perfect way to get inspired, gain clarity, and start transforming your ideas into a beautiful reality.

Woohoooo...let's do this!

Styling is never “just pick a colour and a centrepiece.”

When we work with you, it’s hours of conversations and creativity — Zoom calls, studio meetings, unlimited emails, and hands-on styling consultations where we play with linens, candles, dinnerware, glassware, napkins, and talk through all the little details that will make your day yours.

Over the months, we’ll share ideas, tweak floor plans, refine table layouts, and guide you through every possibility. We’ll create and rework concepts and quotes until you’re absolutely happy — not just with the total cost, but with every gorgeous element chosen.

Because it’s not just about placing flowers on an arch, and putting things on a table — it’s about understanding your vision and bringing it to life in a way that feels effortless, beautiful, and exactly right.

On your wedding day we want you to be smiling with joy and loving all the details — just like our couple A&W at Waipuna Estate - Weddings & Accommodation photographed by

Ready to see your vision come to life? Let’s bring every idea, detail, and dream together into something truly unforgettable.

A little sprinkle of love goes a long way ✨💌

We pour our heart, soul, and every ounce of energy into making sure your event is perfect for you, and unfolds seamlessly. From the first idea to the final detail, we’re there — creating, finessing, and making the magic happen.

So when a client takes the time to truly thank us, to share genuine appreciation for what we’ve created together… well, that’s the kind of 'sprinkling of love' that means the world...and brings so much satisfaction!

Because behind the scenes, we work damn hard — and knowing it’s made a real difference to your day? That’s why we do what we do.

From me to you...because it's Friday Funday — go forth and sprinkle some love, it'll make someones day! Lisa x
