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!

All Tangled in love with Rapunzel....


I really hope you enjoy these beautiful images.. of our Inspiration Shoot based on 
the Amazing story of Rapunzel in the Disney Movie "TANGLED"
This story which I used to read to my daughter as a baby is my all time favourite
and I fell in love with the fairytale many many years ago!
This one has been in the works for me for over 6 months now... so I am just so
thrilled to see it all come to fruition... :)

I too am always trying to find ways to inspire my clients to think out of the box when planning
their weddings, I love the idea of creating a gorgeous theme and setting for a Wedding and
thought we could tie some of the beautiful romantic scenes from this Amazing Movie into this shoot..
I was so excited when Clarissa Lum this amazing photographer emailed to put this together!

I began themeing this shoot around our little model Alicia who plays the roll of
Rapunzel as a child trapped in a tower.. playing with her dolls and of-course we had to use lots of
Pretty flowers in her hair..    


I always get asked for other options for flower girl flowers, I think it has always been a 
little restricted In the past with either a little petals basket or a posy  which were the only options but these days you cannot even throw petals in most outdoor venues and of-course it is a 
big 'no no' in most church’s.

A few years ago I came up with the idea of a little Wand which I would attach flowers to- 
this became a big hit with most flower girls as it is something they will have fun with 
on the Wedding day and also later can keep as a memory of the day.

I wanted to create something a little different and for this shoot I came up with the
Big Heart floral shaped which I loved the effect in the photos it was just gorgeous and 
who better to make a grand entrance of the floral heart but little Rupunzel !!  
Isn’t she Adorable- Alicia is actually my close friend Mary’s daughter..   
Was so lucky to have her play this role for us She is a little star!   

I also created some cute little hand bags as another flower girl option made from 
cute little hessian bags.. Another gorgeous Idea for a flower girl I am thinking!

I wanted to create a scene of Rapunzel in the tower- which I used a pretty mosquito net and 
attached pretty doilies to and strings of pearls for added elegance!  
Little Rapunzel trapped in the tower and then becoming the beautiful April Healey- 
our Lady Rapunzel.. This is how the story begins where Flynn Ryder appears and 
sweeps her off her feet..

Of course Flynn (Micheal Mc Faul) did not know what her got himself into there- 
This is when he get banged over the head With the Frying pan!!

But that must have knocked some sense into him!!

Because they shared their first kiss over the Candy table-
Yes Sweet Candy always calls for sweet love...  does it not??    
There was a lot of detail to the Candy table which I absolutely love!






























I am currently obsessed with Pin wheels, hessian lace & pearls Vintage 
furniture and the re upholstered chairs (this was my first attempt re upholstery)

I was very pleased with the final result...   
Isn’t it amazing what you can create with a little imagination.
It really leads me to really believe that someones’ trash can be another person’s treasure!  
Most people would not have looked twice at these chairs – 
they were old and had definitely seen better days... 
just a little cleaning paint and fabric brought them to life again!!

For me the absolute highlight for this was the boat scene and the other 
beautiful water images held at the Tumbling waters retreat which I will 
blog about later on!!

& sorry for the photo overload, it was just tooo gorgeous had to share the full story!
Hope you Enjoyed our Beautiful shoot
