Island Blues

It's been warming up in Brisbane these last few weeks and summer seems just around the corner however I've been dreaming of here..............



As it's exactly where I'll be spending 6 glorious nights for my 10 year anniversary!  Ok so enough bragging, back to work...........................the gorgeous teal and blue shades of the ocean have been inspiring me to put together a little summer party.

I'm thinking of a lovely summers evening dinner under the stars with a few close friends...something like this would be nice...

However I would add a ton of tealights, more fairy lights in our huge trees we have and maybe some gorgeous blue bottles with little white blooms down the centre of the table.

I think some peach bellinis to begin with followed by some delicious seafood and pinot grio would go down quite nicely followed by some delicious lemon slices and creme brulee to finish.

Now to ensure the children don't interrupt us, I think I would have to set up something similar to this arrangement:



Now to begin the planning.................................

Green and White Sit Down Dinner

I have just arrived back from the Melbourne Gift Fair which was both exciting and inspiring, hence the lack of posts in the past few weeks!  I will post more about the gift fair over the next few days but wanted to share my latest event.  I created a sit down dinner for a gorgeous lady turning 40.  The only must was for the colour palette to contain shades of green.  I must say that I really enjoyed creating this concept and I especially discovered a passion for floral arranging which I hope to explore over the next year.

It was a lovely Brisbane winter's night, very intimate with a lot of laughter and chatter.  What more could you want for a memorable night.....
