Purple Rock Princess


 This shoot was Inspired by my Love for this amazing Colour - PURPLE!!
I wanted this to be dramatic and a little spontaneous.. Don't get me wrong I do
very much still DO love all things vintage, wholesome and pastel but every now and then
a girl likes a little Fun!!  
And this shoot was just that..  Ooohh...   maybe a LOT fun!






This shoot all started back in May when Tara (from Embellish hair and body) were chatting about
working together!  I initially met Tara - as a client being a Bride whom I looked after her Flowers for
her Wedding!!   So when I found out she was an amazing hairdresser and also Make up artist-
It was so exciting that we could work together again on another more professional level..
 We also were very lucky to collaborate with the Awesome Mr Ben Scott and Viktoria Novak -an amazing Milner from
Canberra and also our Model -Jewell Tyler.




















Especially loved these last few shots here..  just so dreamy and gorgeous.. Rock chick!

The Grand Roxy Brighton Le Sands Wedding & Decorations

Last Weekend we had the pleasure of looking after
the beautiful Diana & Peters' Wedding Flowers & decorations which was held at the
Grand Roxy at Brighton Le Sands and also the Greek Orthodox Church in Marrickville.

We also somehow worked a miracle and managed to secure Bunches of
Beautiful David Austen Roses in the Middle of Winter (normally this would be impossible)
we were just so lucky that the weather worked in our favour and a little perseverence
with our lovely growers.. :)

The bridal table was covered with a 7 Metres hedge of White singapore orchids ..
Just loved the final look with the touch of Blue lighting organised by the couple really did
set the most amazing Winter wonderland mood..

My Marchesa Love...

I Just love the 2011 Marchesa Spring collection..  It just blows my mind 
the amazing attention to detail and the beautiful soft pastel tones.. Just stunning!!

Every gown just looks better than the last.. The beautiful fabrics created
with textures in mind and bold lines yet somehow still remains Angelic..

Live, Laugh & Love...

One of my all time favourite quotes of Life...

As I go through all kinds of feelings and experiences in my journey through life -- delight, surprise,  dismay -- I hold this question as a guiding light: "What do I really need right now to be happy?" What I come to over and over again is that only qualities as vast and deep as love, connection and kindness will really make me happy in any sort of enduring way.
- Sharon Salzberg
Flowers of HOPE by Chanele Rose Flowers
 LIVE - Make the most of every day, your really do not know what's around the corner!
This one shook me right up last month when we heard a family was ill - someone
you just never expected, that has so much life yet to live.  You really must appreciate
what you have and grab it with both hands and never let go, Life is way to short.
Ignore those that try to bring you down, In business especially there will always be plenty
with lots of time on their hands trying to make themselves feel better about themselves.
Strive to acheive the Best YOU, no one else can do this.. only you! 
No one know's you better than YOU.

You know what you are capable of, seek your true passion in life and
AIM for the stars, don't ever  look back.
Yes there will be obstacles along the way, but set your goals high..  People
will always admire you for your Drive and passion and most of all your talents..
It's ok if people want to imitate- It just means that they were worthy!
- hold your held up high, & Live every day as it was your last..

LAUGH- Laughter is the best medicine, when I am feeling down first thing I do is seek
the advice of my hubby -(yes he still knows how to really make me laugh- I mean really laugh
he just amazing!) Laugh about those silly things - the nonsense, hearsay,
The downright B.S..  You know what makes you happy - just Laugh!
Enjoy the ride, it's going to be a bumpy one, Every great adventure is bumpy..

LOVE- Love with your whole heart, treasure those dearest to you - learn to Love those
not so dear, remember everyone has flaws - Yes, No one is perfect..
Family can be hard, especially when you come from a big one -
So many people - You can't always seem to please them all.. Accept them as they are,
and give them respect as you would like for them to give to you.
  
Love the differences in others, everyone has been dealt a set of cards
in life and their cards may not have been the same as your's..
Embrace those qualities you love and understand those qualities that may
need some work!  Always try to see the best in others..
Remember a good heart is CONTAGIOUS...   Let's catch it!
