Party inspiration from a stylist

Special occasions don’t roll around that often, which makes it totally acceptable to go all out and make them memorable in my opinion!

 

But regardless of it being up to a year between parties, choosing the where and the what just doesn’t come easily.

So for an event stylist, staying on trend and having a bag full of ideas is a must for those SOS calls for help, and I’ve dived into the gorgeous portfolio of Sera from Sugared Events in Melbourne for a few ideas you can draw inspiration from if short for ideas – and if you’re in Melbourne you are lucky enough to be able to call on Sera to style your own party!

Sugared Events is a sponsor for the Celebrate conference in August in Sydney –  providing business owners within the party industry with incredible inspiration and business tools! So be sure to join us to connect and network with other business owners in the party and event industry and purchase your tickets here.

I love Sera’s diverse range of ideas when it comes to themes and styling, particularly this geometric Christening and first birthday.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes a theme can be as simple as a colour scheme, like this gold and pink Christening. Who can resist an opportunity to incorporate pink glazed doughnuts?!

 

 

 

Using pastels to create this gorgeous pony carousel theme allows plenty of pretty colour and a vintage touch for an alternative to a simple pony or Saddle Club theme.

 

 

 

Whilst dinosaur themes are always popular, a Jurassic Park movie theme opens up the styling variations and entertainment options too with a little imagination!

 

 

 

 

Feeling inspired? I hope so!

As you can, the work of Sugared Events is gorgeous and sure to add that extra special sugared touch to any celebration!

Parisian Party Supplies

Come away to Paris with a selection of gorgeous Paris party supplies!

A parisian party can be styled in so many ways…..think poodles and eiffle towers and chandelliers….you could theme it as a pamper or fashion party…. a ballet party or a sweet parisian high tea! I have showcased mainly pink/black party supplies but you could also go with a red/blue/white colour scheme as well for something different!
