Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

I am delighted to share this gorgeous birthday cake idea with you. It’s an easy one for a kid’s party and really packs a punch!

Simply make a normal sponge or buttermilk vanilla cake (see Nigella’s Domestic Goddess book or the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook for inspiration) and ice your cake with a pink-or orange- tinged [...]

Inspired by Gorgeous Indian Celebrations

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

I must admit that I’ve recently become very inspired by the vivid colour, heady aroma and intense traditions of Indian weddings. In my search for inspiration, I’ve come across a lovely website full of great images and ideas for an Eastern-inspired celebration called Wedding Sutra… and no, this isn’t just a great site for [...]

Balancing a Drink & an Hors D’oeuvre!

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

It’s the age-old question, isn’t it? How do you balance a drink and an hors d’oeuvre at a cocktail party without spilling one or dropping the other? How would Hyacinth Bucket handle this delicate situation?

I remember being taught this trick when my mum sent me off to June Daly Watkins deportment classes when [...]

A Farewell Dinner

Monday, May 14th, 2007

We’ve been asked to organise a fairly intimate, but very special farewell dinner. The dinner itself is fairly easy - gorgeous catering and lovely champagne for our guests. The setting and the feeling for the night though, deserves much more attention.
Kate Spade, one of America’s most loved designers, recently released a beautiful book [...]

Winnie the Pooh parties are very popular with little kids, up to about 6 years of age. The characters are great fun to create a party around, and the Hundred Acre Woods is a perfect central decorating theme for your fun day.
We’ve organised a few Winnie the Pooh parties. Here are some of [...]

A Fantasy Party

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

A girlfriend of mine is hosting a “fantasy” party this weekend, which should be a hoot. She’s invited loads of great fun people to dress up as their ultimate fantasy character. I’ve heard on the grapevine that there will be a Snow White, a Cinderella, a Pirate, a Marilyn Monroe and someone planning [...]

Table Centrepieces

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

Your table centrepiece really is the most important stylistic decoration item you need to contemplate when organising an event. Whether your event is a full-scale formal wedding, a children’s party or a small dinner party, the centrepiece will add drama, personality and scale to your event.
