Designing for the Season – Part 4

Designing for the Season – Part 4

September 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

This mood board is close to my heart as it is based on an English Garden Party and of course being English by birth I have attended and organised a couple of these events in my time. Similar to winter the summer season can also conjure up many different images and everyone’s take on it is different. For some it will be the beach and seaside that features heavily and for others it will be all about the colours of summer, for me however there has never been anything quite like an English summer afternoon with a gentle breeze blowing in the trees and a nice 23 degrees making sitting in the... [Read the full story]

A Series of Celebrity Weddings – Part 4

A Series of Celebrity Weddings – Part 4

August 19, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

I was always a huge fan of Dawson’s Creek and just loved the relationship between Joey (Katie Holmes) and Dawson (James Van Der Beek) so was very interested to find out more about the main character’s real life wedding. This is second time around for James and it was far from the other weddings featured in this series. The destination for this wedding was Tel Aviv as Israel is where the couple met a year ago and obviously had meaning and the venue was the Kabbalah Centre. Unlike most weddings this one was not planned. There were no bridezilla moments, no worrying about seating plans,... [Read the full story]

If you read Event Experts often enough you will find that we never tire of reminding you that ‘attention to detail’ is the cornerstone of every great event, especially when it comes to Weddings.  If I had to sum up the theme that runs through every one of the Academy’s Wedding and Event courses, this would be it.  So when it comes to choosing venues you will put yourself on a fast track to success when you choose one that also embodies the ‘attention to detail’ approach, such as Melbourne’s Treasury does. Situated in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD the Melbourne’s Treasury is a 19th... [Read the full story]

I am one of those people who cannot remember life before blogs.  As a huge magazine fan, I find that the blog is a wonderful, free, daily magazine hit on subjects of direct interest to me (business and personal).  Blogs have become so much a part of my life I refer to them regularly and often forget that others may not know what I am talking about. Because I am often asked about the blogs I love I thought I would create a list of just some of the ones that you will find in my Favourites library:  This is Glamorous.  I adore this blog.  From fashion to lifestyle and weddings this blog is full... [Read the full story]
