Drawing inspiration from fresh the natural beauty of Tuscany, stylist Alysia from Celebrations By Alysia creates a bright wedding atmosphere to pop against an Autumn landscape. “We love Tuscany and we really wanted to work with the colour palette of Tangerine, cream and silver green” says Alysia. “The rich terracotta and autumn foliage backdrop provided by The Brides Market was a stunning Tuscan combination for our styled shoot and tablscape.”

Fruits adorn the wedding tablescape and are paired with divine fresh floral arrangements to create an atmosphere that is not only a delight for the eyes, but will also emanate a wonderful citrus aroma at the table. The bride and adorable flower girl match the tuscan inspired wedding reception with their crisp white dresses and luscious flower crowns by Bella Bloom Floral Designs.

Renowned for his attention to detail and contemporary elegance, George Wu has dressed the likes of Angelina Jolie, the Veronicas, Cat Deely and Kristy Hinze as well as Kat Miler- Heike. His latest shoot epitomises the clean, old-meets-new look that George does so effortlessly.

As a siren of the silver screen, there’s no better way to celebrate the iconic style of Elizabeth Taylor than with a glamorous bridal shoot. Enjoy a luxurious setting, timelessly chic details and two flawless wedding day looks!

Set in a modern-meets-vintage lounge space evoking the golden era of Hollywood, a crystal candelabra stands alongside gold gilded furniture, ruby red florals and stacked books penned by fashion’s elite. An eclectic bouquet of hydrangea, poppies, roses and berries adds colour, texture and romance.

The gown features delicate floral applique, a low back and detachable tulle overlay – a choice inspired by one of Ms. Taylor’s many beautiful costumes. A bold lip, winged eye, glossy waves and striking garnet accessories complete this elegant look.

The halls have been decked, there’s a nip in the air, and we’d be lying if we said we weren’t indulging in hot cocoa every. single. night. here lately. And so imagine our excitement when we saw this fabulously festive shoot from Celebrations by Alysia pop up in our inbox!

Captured beautifully by Lyndal Carmichael Photography and with creative direction by The Wedding Playbook, today’s holiday fete at The Joinery has us feeling oh-so inspired. Make no mistake about it, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

If you’re anything like me, you’d agree that long weekends are a perfect time to entertain. So with the long weekend ahead, what a better time to inspire you by sharing Celebrations By Alysia‘s amazing Melbourne Cup shoot. With an array of incredibly talented vendors, it is especially refreshing to see a Spring Racing celebration step away from pastels and opt for vibrant blues and deep greens instead. Consistency becomes key in this celebration, as the colour palette remains to perfection in every little detail.

How to build consumer relationships online, creating a professional social media strategy and building an online profile – it was safe to say that everyone who attended Creative Business Hub’s Sydney Seminar walked away with a wealth of information.

Business owners from across Australia – some even caught a plane to make it – packed the beautifully decorated seminar hall at the Sydney Harbour Marriott last week to learn the tips and tricks of how consumers connect with businesses online.

Creating a social media strategy, utilising digital platforms and keeping your followers engaged – all of this and more was explored in detail at Wedded Wonderland and Creative Business Hub’s Social Media Seminar.

Local business owners filled the Stamford Plaza’s gorgeously decorated seminar hall for the event, with picturesque views of the Brisbane River providing the event with a beautiful backdrop.

“This Mother’s Day will be all about eating good food and relaxing with our little tribe,’’ says El Rowland. ‘’Two musts include: having a picnic with my little family, and looking at the stars with Lee.”

We’re not surprised relaxation is on the cards for this super mum. This time last year El was preparing to leave her son, Darcy, to become a castaway on a Samoan island with 24 other competitors in Australian Survivor. And it seems not much has changed! El and her partner Lee Carseldine have made it home just in time for Mother’s Day from a 10-day survival trek in Vanuatu.
