Confetti Fair magazine feature

18/04/201615/09/2019

Confetti Fair Mag_Issue 6_featured in

For those of you who may not have seen the latest edition of Confetti Fair magazine, I thought I would give you a peek of our featured wedding. I am thrilled with the 8 page spread and am very grateful to the editor Claire for publishing our son’s wedding. I originally submitted this  Rustic Pop baby shower , which she loved and wanted to publish. I then showed her photos of Caleb’s wedding and she preferred to publish them. Keep an eye out on the Confetti Fair blog, as you will see the baby shower featured there. It’s pretty exciting seeing your work in print, your children in a magazine and to have a permanent keepsake of such a special day.

At last I am so proud to share with you photos from my son’s beautiful  Vintage barefoot wedding. I was honoured to have my desserts and styling featured in the March edition of the popular Party magazine Confetti Fair, and therefore needed to wait until it was published before I put the photos on my blog.

Rustic Easter table

08/04/201615/09/2019

easter 44

Easter has come  and gone for another year. I had been planning this rustic Easter display in my head for months, gathering bits and pieces from all over my house like a little bower bird.  I knew I wanted it set up in front of our chicken pen and had been meticulously watching the movements of the sun in our yard to ensure I had just the right light when I whipped out my camera. As it happens, I came down with the flu over the Easter weekend, so we had a very belated Easter egg hunt with our precious kiddies and their friends. They were all very gracious and didn’t seem to mind waiting an extra week for their Easter eggs.

Valentine’s Day High tea party

valentines day12

Valentine’s Day is upon us! Last year when I created my inaugural Vintage Valentine’s Day party I had a simple revelation that this sweetly romantic day was the perfect occasion to celebrate in style by gathering a few ladies together to enjoy an afternoon of feminine beauty, fellowship and sweet treats.

Rustic Pop baby shower

08/02/201615/09/2019

rusticpop59

When one of my friends announced her 4th pregnancy, it took me about three seconds to decide the theme of her baby shower. Her kitchen has bright orange cupboards which are reminiscent of my Nanna’s incredibly cool laminex. She adores this often ignored, yet fabulous colour, and so do I.  Sadly, bright orange appears to be  completely underestimated in the current party scene. It is such a gloriously intense colour which adds the most startling wow factor to any dessert table.  As I wanted my orange to make a real POP in this party, I teamed it up with perhaps an unlikely partner…rustic timber and woody, earthy textures. I was determined to keep everything else neutral, so that my lovely orange could take centre stage. It’s effect was nothing short of spectacular!

Summer Boho New Year’s eve party

16/01/201615/09/2019

nye21 

It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you my Summer Boho New Year’s Eve party!! My absolute passion for bright colours found an unhindered outlet in this concept and design. As mentioned in my previous post, I wanted to break away from the traditional colour schemes usually associated with New Year’s Eve and bring a truer reflection of our lengthy Australian summer days to the table.

A sweet engagement

19/06/201515/09/2019

chloe26 

As you are aware, our oldest son is getting married this year. I was delighted to be a part of their gorgeous vintage engagement shoot  a few months ago. The happy couple didn’t really want a large engagement party, but rather a small gathering of some of their friends.  I happened to have my lovely vintage doors still set up from my Ladies tea party so I just changed the colour scheme and added a few vintage bits and pieces to create this simple dessert display. I found a cheap 70’s dresser at the op shop, which I will give to my son after the wedding. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be the  perfect drink station.  A simple buttercream cake adorned with flowers and some sweet daisy cupcakes on vintage props made up the desserts. This was a very easy display to set up. You don’t need a lot of food to make a dessert table look fabulous. Sometimes less is more if you have an intimate gathering of friends. Just put your effort into creating a simple backdrop, a splash of colour and hunt around your home for some matching vintage pieces.

Tea time with the ladies

06/06/201515/09/2019

churchtea2

This was such a special afternoon. I gathered together a group of ladies, many of them mothers with young children,  with the aim of creating a relaxing and indulgent tea party where they would sit and enjoy being served.  As women, we are so often the ones who tirelessly meet the needs of others, so I wanted to give these special ladies an afternoon off, where they could finish their conversations, have fresh tea poured for them, leave their diets at the door and indulge in decadent sweets and treats.
