Little Red Riding Hood 1st Birthday Party Theme

on August 19, 2014

Our beautiful client Ruby celebrated her 1st birthday party with a bang on the weekend. We wanted to create something a bit different so we went with Little Red Riding Hood Theme. The wood sign was pointing to grandma’s cottage and the big bad wolf was lurking around the corner. We had some fun setting up this one and we think our little red riding hood was very happy!

A little help from your Wedding Planner…

on August 18, 2014

goes a long way when you have some hick-ups during the wedding planning process.

Felicity and Gerard were delighted to hear that we could be their wedding planner here in Melbourne. Living and working in Warrnambool, some 3 hours away from Melbourne, the destination of their wedding. It gave them piece of mind knowing they’d have someone on the ground in Melbourne to assist with their wedding planning. They had realized early on, that all their family and friends were attending their wedding as guests, so they needed someone else to help out on their wedding day. My Perfect Event was the perfect solution. reserve sign at ceremony The bride and groom, Felicity and Gerard had an idea of what they wanted for their wedding day. They had already booked the delightful Chapter House for their ceremony and Comme for their reception. We were able to help them work through their brief and ideas for wedding invitations. Our preferred creative bespoke studio for helping us with wedding invitations is My Artisan Studio. They interpreted the wedding invitation brief perfectly. We helped Felicity and Gerard find an illustrator who created a fun drawing of the soon to be bride and groom. This illustration was then incorporated into their wedding invitations and wedding signage. chapter house melbourne

Part way through the planning of their wedding, Felicity and Gerard learned that the Comme had undergone a name change, a new chef, and you guessed it, a new menu! To say that this added a little bit of stress to their wedding planning process was an understatement. Working collaboratively with the wedding invitation designer, My Perfect Event was able to get the reception venue name change incorporated into the wedding invitations just prior to them being sent to print – disaster was adverted! Now that is why you need a wedding planner!

chapter house During the wedding planning process, sometimes Felicity and Gerard just needed to ask an independent opinion or test an idea on someone. That’s where My Perfect Event was able to act as a sounding board and keep them on track with their idea of their perfect event.My Perfect Event was also able to help the bride and groom locate and hire mini milk bottles that they used as vases on the tables at the wedding reception. We also found the perfect frame and easel for their signage at the ceremony. We’d planned and coordinated every detail of the strategic side of their wedding. It’s easy for a bride and groom to get caught up in the big picture of how their wedding day will look. It’s My Perfect Event’s role to make it happen. For example we physically took the flowers from the ceremony and placed them in exactly the right place at the reception.

I think the biggest relief for the bride and groom was knowing that My Perfect Event had every minute detail covered on their Melbourne wedding day. We helped Felicity and Gerard collate all their wedding details into a running sheet and then distributed it to everyone who was involved in their wedding day planning. We even had a bottle of water for the groom and a breath mint for the bride! Now that’s a perfect wedding!

Yellow Baby Shower

on August 8, 2014

A Baby shower is a time to spoil the mother-to-be. It’s a time to celebrate life and family, and in fact, these days it’s not uncommon to have a styled baby shower, especially if the parents-to-be have a large family or several close friends. The planning of a baby shower can be an enormous job as it involves a lot of planning.Sometimes the hardest job is to come up with a theme and execute it well. The theme for the baby shower serves as inspiration for decorations and games, invitations, favours and even the food. – See more at: https://myperfectevent.com.au/baby-shower/#sthash.b3Wm6iqN.dpuf

The theme for this Melbourne baby shower was an elegant high tea afternoon brunch. The color scheme was yellow, gray and white. It was the perfect way to style for a gender neutral baby shower, whilst adding a splash of color to the room by using yellow.

The baby shower styling was based on a typical high tea event. There were fine china teacups and saucers complete with a silver teapot. Delicious cupcakes, sponge cakes filled with cream and strawberries, not to mention the macaroons and yellow jelly slice filled the dining table.

The color scheme was incorporated on the mini milk bottles with yellow and white straws and tri colored labels on the milk bottles. The client’s existing yellow and orange floral canvas created a colorful and dynamic backdrop for the baby shower drinks station.

A mini lolly buffet was also setup for guests to help themselves during the afternoon. Yellow and white-stripped lolly bags were pre-filled for the guests to take home. The grand mothers enjoyed the lolly buffet just as much as the younger kids.

Both tulle and paper poms hung from the ceiling and also outdoors. This helped lead the guests from outdoors into the lounge and dining rooms where the baby shower was being held. The eye-catching feature of the baby shower styling was large, free standing, gold painted BABY letters. When the guests were at the dining table, the BABY letters were just outside the window, creating a fun backdrop.

The mother-to-be didn’t want typical baby shower games. So we organized for the guests to write up some keep-sake cards. One card asked the guests to write a wish for the new baby. Another card allowed the guests to guess when the baby would be born and if it would be a baby boy or a baby girl. The cards were great fun and when completed, they were pinned up on the wall and became a part of the theme and styling for the baby shower. The mother-to-be now has a collection of wonderful wishes to include in the baby’s album for years’ to come.

“Thank you so much for planning My Perfect Baby Shower. It was everything I wanted and more. I got so many comments on how fabulous everything looked. My yellow theme was executed to perfection. Thank you so much guys for all your creative and fun ideas!” Natalie

We arrived at the Melbourne baby shower venue and undertook all of the theming and styling setup and implementation. This took the pressure off the mother-to-be and meant she could relax and get ready for the baby shower without worrying about a thing. It was the perfect event.

Super Cool Wedding Food Stations

on November 6, 2013

DIY Wedding food stations are becoming more and more popular. I love the idea of getting the guests involved in creating their own food – to a certain extent of course. We don’t want them to have to cook up their own main meal of course. I am talking about small food stations where the guest can make their own snack or dessert. Great way to get your guest involved and interacting with others.

No two people are alike, which means no two palettes are alike. Creating food stations or food bars gives guests a way to customize your menu choices to their tastes. It’s a way to cater to every kind of eater – those who don’t like too much sauce or those who prefer a little more garlic. Check out these Super-Cool Wedding Stations

The Perfect Wedding Kiss

on September 11, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Capturing the emotions on a wedding day and telling the story, makes the magical moments last a lifetime! The moment the officiant announces that the groom may kiss his bride is one of the most anticipated rituals of the wedding ceremony. The wedding kiss is the moment you will cherish for the rest of your life.

In the Western tradition, the wedding kiss symbolizes the exchange of souls between the bride and the groom, fulfilling the scripture that “the two shall become one flesh. Most couples regard the gesture as a joyful start of the marriage. With everyone watching and pointing cameras to immortalize the moment, the pressure to bestow the perfect kiss may get intense for some couples.

Wedding kiss tip: It should not be too short as you want to capture the emotions of the moment, but it should not last so long that your guests get uncomfortable. Most photographers recommend a five-second kiss, which is plenty of time to snap the perfect shot!
