Engagement Party - Sharda & Craig

Sharda and Craig wanted to create something special for their engagement party with a magical relaxed atmosphere.  Here are the beautiful results.

Read on to get tips on how to recreate this look and feel.

Styling - Fill your space with lots of gorgeous glass votives, hanging lanterns and sequin curtains to create a romantic intimate setting.
Flowers - We used a mix of large tropical leaves, bamboo, lotus pods, orchids, white hydrangeas, roses,
tuberose (for an amazing scent), succulents, mossy twigs, eucalyptus (for texture) and bright green amaranthus (for a splash of colour).
Music - Buddha Bar
Drink - Lots of bubbles

A Teaspoon of Sugar

Whenever I think of Spring I think of anything and everything pretty.  Pretty blooms, dresses, nail polish, cakes, teacups and drinks in pretty hues...

So to celebrate Spring we've combined a few of these things, added a teaspoon of sugar {or two} a nip of vodka and we're ready to enjoy the longer days of Spring.

I know you'll enjoy them too!

Seaside Soiree

Who says you need a sunny day to entertain at the beach?
We love the splashes of turquoise against the moody light of this overcast afternoon.
