I LOVE the Safari styled table!! I love the up-cycled wood and the natural tones with the metal wood and creams together!And the shabby chairs and table :) The favours are brilliant and the stationary is exquisite! The little doily is magical!

Sorry Winter white not safari! I read it wrong hehe!

I love the gold, mint blush styling! It’s a delicate, whimsical set up that just takes you to another place. I just want this set up for Sundays ladies lunch dates, so open but so personal and intimate for those there!

O my gosh I love the China blue style!! I have loved willow pattern china since I was a little girl and would love to incorporate that into my wedding. How beautiful!

Winter White by far…. simply stunning, elegant, perfect for a perfect day. So many variations you could have eg. succulents or even stunning glossy green folage just to personalise it that bit more. Any special pieces either classic white or natural fibres can easily be incorporated. I just only wish someone had your fabulous ability here in Central Queensland :)

I loved a couple on the night but looking at the photo’s China Blue is the winner! The little hints of bold colour, the collection of chairs and the over head pendants are stunning. white as the base colour means its always fresh and wont date as much as others. You take the photo’s away from the day, even though something might look great at the time it may not be captured. This one would definately be great in a wedding album.

There’s always that inert elegance in China Blue. It gives you that feeling of jubilation without going all the way. It’s simply captivating. light and pleasing to the eyes.

Love love love safari style …I just love the wood and white drapery … Simple but styled perfectly .

Tamara Cusack - November 22, 2012 - 8:43 am

I love the Fiesta styled table! It’s so unique, fun, warm and exciting. All words I would use to describe love! It suits my personality because it’s casual and inviting. The themed stationary with chevron stripes are so very cute, and the upturned candy coloured bins are a novelty. The flower arrangements also make the table ‘pop’ and tie the theme together so well.
