I have had a desire to style a golden metallic soiree for
some time and I must admit i just love the rich and warm hues. During our
recent workshop with Dewi of Sweet Bloom Cakes, we had two thoughts in mind,
glamour and elegance. We were certainly set on the gold & bronze palette
but wanted to add touches of white to the mix as gold can be little overpowering
at times.
This season we were inspired by many things and one of
them is the gorgeous wedding gown collection by Veluz Reyes. We decided to
incorporate jewels, ruffles and lace into the latest cake collection by Sweet
Bloom Cakes. Dewi also incorporated some delicate
ranunculus on one of the cakes which tied in perfectly with the gold painted
ropes. One of the highlights of the shoot was using the mini cakes which were
adorned with sugar veil lace and a selection of handmade gems.
Choosing the venue was easy, as soon as
I laid eyes on this luxurious venue called The Garden on Forest, I knew we had
found the perfect spot. This
amazing Heritage Estate is full of charm; it has some of the most beautiful
chandeliers and whimsical décor. Working with
Tanya from Tindale Images on this luxurious soiree was the icing on the cake.
She captured each moment in her own unique way and interpreted the vision I had
beautifully.
For the past few weeks I have been hearing and reading
all about Fifty Shades of Grey! From TV, to newspapers, trashy mags and facebook
everyone is talking about Christian Grey. So last week I decided to find out
what all the hype is about. I purchased the ebooks trilogy from Angus and
Roberson and as soon as I started reading the first book {Fifty Shades of Grey}
I was instantly hooked. If you haven’t read the books then you won’t understand
the excitement of this post but If you have I am sure you would agree that you
are absolutely smitten by Christian Grey.
So much so that I have actually received an email from
one of our facebook fans aka “Mrs. Robinson” who has hosted a “50 Shades of Grey”
party for her girlfriends and I am sure you would agree that she has done a
brilliant job. As soon as I read that Universal Pictures has acquired the film rights to the entire “Fifty Shades” trilogyI have been thinking who I would like to play each character. The amazing Mr Grey. Oh my. And after I came across the ad above I think Henry Cavill is the ultimate man! Wouldn’t you agree!!!
Plot of the book: Fifty Shades of Grey When literature student
Anastasia Steele interviews successful entrepreneur Christian Grey, she finds
him very attractive and deeply intimidating. Unworldly and innocent, Ana is
shocked to find she wants this man, and excited when she realises that
Christian wants her too. As they embark on a passionate love affair, Ana
discovers more about her own desires, as well as the dark secrets Christian
keeps hidden away from public view . Fifty Shades Darker Daunted by the dark
secrets of the tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Ana Steele has
broken off their relationship. But when Christian proposes a new arrangement,
she cannot resist. Soon she is learning more about the harrowing past of her
damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades than she ever thought possible.
Fifty Shades Freed Anastasia Steele always knew that loving Christian Grey
would not be easy, and being together poses challenges neither of them had
anticipated. But, finally together, they have love, passion, intimacy, wealth,
and a world of infinite possibilities. Then just when it seems that they really
do have it all, tragedy and fate combine to make Ana's worst nightmares come
true.

Welcome to the
winter issue of My Little Jedi magazine. I am thrilled to share the forth issue
which is bursting with amazing party inspiration. Firstly, I would like to thank our fabulous
contributors and devoted readers for your continuous support.
Most of you would
know that at the start of each season we provide each contributor with a
different theme and they put their own unique spin on each event. I am
constantly amazed by all the beautiful contributions that land in my inbox. The
last issue had a rustic look and feel and this season we have chosen a
completely different theme…It’s all about glitz and glamour so prepare yourself
to be dazzled! We had an absolute ball at the last photo shoot which was held
at The Garden on Forest venue, I feel very privileged to have had the chance of
working again with Tanya of Tindale Images and Dewi of Sweet Bloom Cakes.
Winter is the
season to hibernate but that doesn’t mean you should stop creating and
celebrating. It’s certainly the right season to rug up; drink your favourite
vino whilst eating scrumptious roasted chestnuts. Well, this is what I have
been doing lately, particularly late at night while everyone is asleep. I hope
this winter issue will inspire you to celebrate your special events in style. Rug up, make
yourself a cup of camomile tea, put your feet up and enjoy reading! xx
Recently I have had the pleasure of
working with one amazing and talented lady who is the mastermind behind the Tindale Images business. For those of you who don’t now Tanya, she has a heart made out
of gold. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance of working and getting to
know Tanya during my last two photo shoots. I believe you can find beauty in
everything and Tanya adds a little magic when she captures all these events.
Her dedication and passion shines through her photos.
