Stationery Sunday - Abracadabra!

Love it when we come across truely fun, inovative and inspiring invitations. This one, designed by Black Squid was sent out inviting guests to the Bone Growth Foundation fundraising dinner with a magical theme. Brightly coloured silk scarves (made from remnants and ends of rolls - yay! go recycling!) were tied together and pulled from a tube to magically reveal the details of the event at the end... loving the interactive element, what a great way to truely engage guests in the theme in preparation for the event!

Coming up Roses

Absolutely loving these gorgeous images from over at Design*Sponge... What a fabulous signature cocktail for any girl to add that wow factor and memorable element to any occassion! We're thinking simply fabulous for birthdays, hens days, wedding receptions... endless opportunites for this feminine and delicious martini. Get the recipe here.

Memorable Marquees

In the spirit of the day we thought we'd share our two all time favourite Melbourne Cup Marquees... These are both absolutely fabulous examples of how the skills of qualified & talented interior designers can transform spaces into truely unique and memorable environments.

Both of these amazing marquees demonstrate clearly that event design is far more than just styling, choosing a colour theme and table decorations, these marquees exemplify design through their dedication to the attention to detail, the considered maniuplation of space and creating atmosphere through the innovative application of layering texture, colour, light, movement and object... yay for design!!

and we love this playful interpretation of 'The Village Green' in the Birdcage that Interior Designers Hecker Phelan & Guthrie helped realise...
