Great Gatsby Champagne Tower

The night of the premier of the Great Gatsby my instagram feed was full of images from the after party of the amazing 2m tall tower of crystal champagne saucers & Moet! Can you imagine having one of these at a party - so decedent & total old school glam!

I just discovered that the tower was constructed with Waterford Lismore champagne saucers.

I have a pair of these & just love them - if i ever have a girlfriend over they come out for the bubbly! 

(Imagine if someone had knocked it over!!!)

There are just so many things to love about this image!

Makes me happy :)

Have a great weekend xx

Kitchen Tea!

I have to say i am quite excited about my kitchen tea! Could there be anything more fun than an afternoon with all your favourite family & friends drinking tea & champagne & eating yummy morsels while chit chatting about weddings, life & all the things to look forward to? Im sure a lot of people would beg to differ, but personally i cant wait! Im especially looking forward to going to the flower markets & borrowing some divine crockery from Bens cousin who works for Royal Doulton (how lucky am i!). Mum & i did the invites on the weekend, they are Christina Re & as soon as i saw them i grabbed them .....even though i know im not supposed to be doing this stuff for myself i couldnt help myself (yes control freak here!) Mum will probably kill me for putting a photo of her on here (sorry mum!)

Mum & the gorgeous invites!

And heres some more from the 'inspiration files'!

How cool are the chevron napkins against the pink!

And the gold cutlery! omg!

Divine crockery!

How beautiful if you were having a sit down occasion

I am obsessed with this cake!

I think this image appeals to my ocd side!

Gorgeous!

Maybe we will make punch & have flowers in the ice?

hmmm, wonder if i can convince mum she needs a new fridge for the occasion!

Wedding wednesday - drinks!

How cool is this idea for your drinks at an outdoor wedding - or any party for that matter! Would also be great for xmas or a new years party too!

Sex & The City/Moroccan inspired party!

So many friends are getting engaged at the moment i have engagement parties coming out of my ears! With my love of all things colourful & exotic interiors (.....& sex & the city!)  I thought itd be fun to have a moroccan inspired engagement party or a hens night!

Mix up some colourful cocktails & serve them in coloured glasses.

Hire a tent or even buy a 'cheapy' from Target or K-mart & pimp it out with coloured fabric, blankets, cushions or get yourself some moroccan pouf action from Table tonic! (eeeekkk Tiffany blue ones just arrived - heart palpitations!)

Next get a coloured umbrella & force some poor guy to hold it for you while you walk along the beach being sulky (ok that was just a stab at carrie)...kidding (kind of) dont sulk at your engagement party please ;)

Get to your local french patisserie & get a a hold of some colourful (& tasty ) macaroons! If your in Sydney you could head to Adriano Zumbo's Balmian patisserie & que up for an hour to get some! But ive tried them in a few little french type places around the traps & they are all just as good - my favorite flavour is pistachio! 

For this theme of party i also think persian fairy floss & Turkish delight would be great too. I love the Pariya range - beautiful packaging. 

Rose Petal Turkish Delight

Saffron Nougat

Pistachio Persian Fairy Floss!

yummo - right now who wants me to help plan their party?!

And to that 'engaged' friend (you know who you are!) who turned up at my place last week with the dvd of 'Muriels Wedding' for me... your a bitch!...but it was funny, ill give you that ;)
