It was a pleasure to work this with Tania for her little one’s 2nd birthday party. The brief was something fun and summery. The weather forecast wasn’t on our side, so at the last minute, we moved the installation indoors, into their garden room.

I opted for bright tropical colours, as cheery as the birthday boy himself. The sun even made a welcome appearance in the end! 😎

A special garland for a very special little girl’s Christening Day. The celebration was just as perfect as É 💕 Thank you and for trusting to take over your wonderful terrace. It was an enormous pleasure to be able to decorate for your lovely family.

This week’s set up was a vintage, nostalgic, star spangled styling for this awesome Anglo-American couple. They have a wonderfully sunny, more rare than gold dust, terrace over looking Regent’s Canal in achingly hip Hackney. Their positivity paid off with a warm and dry day hurrah!

Would you just look at that brisket?! 🤤

Last night, I had the pleasure of creating a table centrepiece for a super lovely client whose brief was she wanted the hot, striking colours of summer, and something whimsical.

June has so much to offer when it comes to flowers, and it was a joy to create this piece for her. I love the vibrancy and playful movement of this piece. It encapsulates the pizzazz, high spirit, and good nature of this fabulous lady.

Naturally, of course the great British weather wasn’t playing ball, however, this piece easily brightened up the rainy pod at the . My client was happy and so was I!

Entertaining is back!

Hurrah for homegrown peonies! 💕💕 Sadly, not all of my peony bushes made it this year, after the late snow and frosts this April. But happily some did survive, and burst open this week with wild abandon. This brings me SUCH joy I cannot tell you! I am SO looking to using my favourite blooms on tablescapes this weekend. Happy Friday everyone 🌸🌸 Happy summer ☀️☀️

The sun is shining, the garden is in June bloom, and birds are singing. What a great day for an al fresco party. Here’s an elegant balloon garland with silk flowers for a lovely lady’s milestone birthday 🎊

On Saturday it was our darling Godson Nikolai’s 3rd birthday. He is absolutely dinosaur mad, and so this treat tablescape was an ode to his favourite things and some of his most loved pieces had starring roles 🦖🦕 Rather luckily this dinosaur jungle party coincided with the first warm sunny day of of the year. Hurrah! Here’s to many many more celebrations and parties with our nearest and dearest 🎉🥳🎊

The great British “summertime”
provided the backdrop of a multitude of temperamental, sometimes volatile weather quite typical of a U.K. festival..which all worked well for this 9 year old’s festival themed Home Fest party. Think of raving in tents high on sugar, with the wind howling and rain whipping the bunting. The next minute a wave of glorious sunshine was beaming down. We had it all in Surrey yesterday. Here is the festival themed treat tablescape I created. The star of the show being this wonderful creation by the incomparable .

On Sunday it was my eldest’s 9th birthday, which coincided with National Garden Day. So for her birthday tea, we headed out into our garden which is starting to spring to life, after all the rain we had last week.

I laid the table with her favourite William Morris print, ‘Strawberry Thief’ tablecloth, and all the treats that she requested. The centrepiece was equally fun, with my favourite Coral Charm peonies and probably the last of the season’s anemones. The tablescape was a riot of colour, exactly like my darling girl.

Through the wind and rain thinking of this cheery tablescape I laid for a dear friend celebrating Greek Orthodox Easter last weekend. My aim was to try to conjure up the spring sunshine synonymous with Aphrodite’s Island of Cyprus.

This weekend, I dressed a tablescape for my dearest friend on her birthday. The brief was Mexican fuchsia, channelling the bright vivid tones of her home, a colour that brings her joy. It is easy to find this tone everywhere in Mexico, a kind of intense magenta colour that floods the streets and objects of cities and towns.

This tablescape captures the essence and vibrancy of this fun loving, and generous host. Her food is pretty amazing also!

For the buffet table centrepiece, I included her favourite flowers blue Delphiniums and pastel anemones. I tied these together with perfect spring lilac and almost acid green viburnum. It was quite the showstopper!

Blue is the warmest colour 💙

Is there a more glorious Spring sight, than perfectly formed blossom branches, gracefully erupting against the backdrop of a flawless, almost Mediterranean blue sky, on a sunny morning? Perhaps not..?

I had a little play around with some beautiful spring purples and blues this weekend. What do you think?

Anyone who knows me, knows that peonies are my favourite flower in the world, (closely followed by hydrangeas, and then the list gets longer and longer), so much so I have 10 peony bushes growing in my own garden. To me the mighty peony is Queen, and that’s why Eleni Blue’s logo is a peony.

I just love watching how the orb like buds unfurl into lush pillowy generous blooms. Once the flower opens it is glorious and impossibly dreamy, and to me represents the promise of what spring and summer have to offer. More carefree and whimsical than a rose, but not at all less majestic, these spectacular blooms bring me so much joy!

This is a little to last year’s coral charm peonies given to me by my darling 💖 I just added some young bluebells, mint and rosemary from my herb garden.

A little throwback to a lovely baby shower, I decorated and catered for, in honour of one of my dearest friends. It all took place on her beautiful sunny London garden long before outdoor entertaining was mandatory. It was as fun, sweet and elegant as the Mama-to-be! 💖

The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hooray! Perfect day for some al fresco nibbles and a cheeky glass of rosé. Thank you for the artisan bread and for the fresh from the oven Cypriot bread.

I love seasonal blooms and foliage. I also I love the natural, delicate architecture from branches laden with dreamy blossom, that you can often find right under your nose. It’s amazing what you can find in your garden, or foraging in trees and hedgerows at this time of year. A few of these dotted around would transform any table into something charming and romantic.

My family’s heritage is a mixture of British, Irish meets the Mediterranean Cypriot. One thing that is the same across the board is welcoming, plentiful, tables of food for our nearest and dearest.

This picture is a lovely little throwback. I have been setting up grazing tables at parties since before I knew they were a ‘thing’, and before I thought to take pretty pictures of them, without baby and child paraphernalia scattered around. Online inspiration makes us think perhaps we need to up our game, but in reality, I think all a good grazing table needs plenty of yummy food served with love.

I love foliage as much as I love flowers. I think when it comes to a grazing table, foliage works even better than floral arrangements, bar some scattered edible flowers, as it softens a table, in line with the more laid back affair, without compromising on aesthetics or style. More Eleni Blue grazing tables to come, so watch this space...

Outdoor dining is something we have always done, but in these times of outdoor social distancing, after not seeing friends and loved ones for a while, why not go the extra mile for your table. I can supply your entire tablescape from bespoke, seasonal flower arrangements, and props, to place settings. I even know the odd killer cocktail recipe...

As we were blessed with a beautiful sunny Easter, I took full advantage and set up lunch outside in this wonderful London garden. The spring flowers and pussywillow branches swayed gently in the breeze, as their glass vessels sparkled when caught by the sunlight.
