Little Michael's Baptism

What a beautiful event this turned out to be! The weather played in our favour given the wonderful garden venue we had selected and Michael behaved like a champion, gracefully going into and out of the water with a smile on his face!

The event was filled with all the cultural elements that make Greek Baptisms extra special. The family enjoyed a delectably lunch and the kids played with the gorgeous Silky chickens in the lush gardens.

My dad summed up the event perfectly, "You don't get to experience a child christening everyday, this is a very special occasion!"

Here are some of the wonderful suppliers that came together to make the event special!

Spring 2013 Colour Inspiration

With wedding season in full swing - here is the 2013 colour of the year!

Happy Planning!

Beefcakes - A Bachelorette with a difference

Needless to say - Beefcakes was an awesome venue to host our friends bachelorette.

A drag show, beefy waiters and dolled up as "The Pink Ladies" from Grease really played well into the whole theme.

The entertainment was delightful - then again, I am almost positive I am a budding singer/actress/drag queen in disguise so anything that involves song, dance, glitz and glamour is my cuppa tea!

Vintage Aeroplane Inspired Christening

Its that time in a new mommy's life (or second, third, fourth time mum) to plan the Christening!

Having had a beautiful bouncing baby boy, I couldn't resist the beckoning of a Vintage Aeroplane inspired theme

The venue and caterers have been selected, now all I need to do is create the magic! These are my inspiration images thus far!

Here is a sneak peek at the beautiful venue we have selected:

The Vintage Tea Party

Whilst waiting for my friends to arrive at a quint little coffee shop we'd come to love, I thought I would just pop into the bookstore and mozie around to kill time - well lucky I did because I came across an awesome book titled: The Vintage Tea Partyby Angel Adoree.

Now with my love for tea, tea parties, tea time, high tea - you name it, I just had to own the book no matter what was written inside. With the book paid for, I took my seat at the coffee shop and began to page through it.

What a lovely book, if I do say so myself! It was filled with awesome tea party planning ideas, fantastic photography work and of course all the "how to's" when it comes to throwing your amazing tea party function.

I loved how Angel took tea time from a primarily 'nose in the air'/ ladies only territory and showed you how to incorporate it into a snazzy, loved by all event!

I suggest you get your hands on this book for some fantastic event planning ideas - I will be having a baby shower in the near future so I will be sure to conveniently leave the book lying around where friends and family can get inspiration from :)

Happy Planning :)
