Kara’s self-confessed #1 fan, Australian Party Stylist Sarah Osmotherly from Sugar Coated Mama saw an opportunity to bring Kara to Australia after realising just how popular Kara was down under.

Sugar Coated Mama Stylist extraordinairE, Kara’s Party Ideas Australian Tour Organiser AND PR GURU Sarah Osmotherly is Sugar Coated Mama, a party and dessert stylist who established her very successful party business only six short months ago. It came about during Sarah’s sabbatical from her PR business ‘Osmopolitan’ to spend more time with family! She very quickly discovered her insatiable desire to sugar coat anything and everything, styling a meat pie if she could! What started as a hobby designing friend’s weddings and parties in her spare time, soon took off and Sugar Coated Mama was created! Sarah has worked for over 15 years in Public Relations and Events for the TV industry, clients including ABC TV (8 years), Weta Workshop (creators of Lord of the Rings, King Kong, The WotWots), Chapman Entertainment (Bob the Builder, Roary the Racing Car), Sticky Pictures (Wendy Harmer’s Pearlie series), The Fairies (Channel 7), multi-award winning children’s author Jeannette Rowe, and many more. Sarah has organised several national tours for TV celebrities and shows including David Attenborough, The Chasers, ABC TV’s 50th B’day Tour, Play School 40th B’day Tour as well as national PR campaigns for top rating drama, documentaries and children’s shows. Sarah is excited to fuse her love of parties, sweet treats and beautiful things together with her event management and public relations skills to organise Kara’s Party Ideas Australian Tour. “Thank you so much for two remarkable weeks on tour in Australia, your patience, organisation, hard work and sense of humour certainly made my visit most enjoyable.” Sir David Attenborough, Natural Historian “Osmo is unbeatable: in PR, marketing, events and arm wrestling. And we’ve tried! People often ask why there are so many people in The Chaser. The real answer is that it was the only way we could keep up with all the media interviews Sarah would line up for us. She was relentless and knows everyone in the land, one of kind.” The Chaser team, #1 Australian comedy team
“Thank you for creating our amazing dessert and sweets buffet for our wedding, the table was PERFECT! It was exactly what we had imagined but even more beautiful! The extra little details that you added including the pink stripes, flowers, pearls, tulle and lace matched the styling of our wedding perfectly! The colours and textures in the table were so lovely and soft, it was like it was floating on the ocean. And of course the sweets tasted divine! All of our food choices were included along with a few extra surprises! The sweets were so professionally made but still had the home made feel. The table truly was the feature at our wedding reception, everyone commented on how they had not seen any table as beautiful, and we thought so too. Sarah you were so friendly and lovely to deal with and it put us at ease to know you were just as excited as us to be designing a pretty dessert table.

Ms Confetti Confetti Fair Organiser, Kara’s Party Ideas australian Tour organiser and publisher A busy mother to a gorgeous little boy it was whilst organising her son’s first birthday that she realised that whilst the circle she worked in had creative people in it, outside of that others were needing help. So Confetti Fair was born, a place where the ‘not so creative’ hosts can come to find their perfect party ideas; where they can relax in knowing they can get the professional help they need for the day. Claire has been involved in the organisation of Luxury Travel Magazine’s Gold List Awards (2010), Perth Fashion Festival, the Bridal Fair (WA) and was instrumental in the conception and organisation of Nova Magazine’s first Holistic Lifestyle Fair; the event had over 70 exhibitors and attracted close to 3000 visitors on the day. Publisher and Editor of Kiss the Bride magazine, and more recently Celebrate, a 176 page book celebrating Australian stylists, Claire has been in the publishing industry for the past 20 years working on a number of award winning magazines. She has also worked in the wedding industry as an event co-ordinator and has helped over 300 couples make their dreams come true for their big day. As well as event organising and editing a national magazine, Claire is also an incredibly talented graphic designer. Claire designs all the marketing, promotional and advertising materials for Confetti Fair and the KPI Australian Tour.
“... I think Claire’s greatest flair lies in the area of event organising. She was instrumental in conceptualising and organising our magazine’s first Expo, a one day event which attracted more than 70 exhibitors and a very impressive number of visitors. It was an outstanding success for NOVA and reflected very creditably on Claire’s ability to organise and enthuse others.” ~ Margaret Evans, Managing Editor, NOVA Magazine “It was my absolute pleasure being involved with Confetti Fair - I had such a fun day and am still buzzing from all the excitement. It has lead to so much business for me (including landing my first wholesale client who lives locally to me!) plus lots of work with events stylists and private buyers. So, you could say I am one happy Confetti Fairer!” ~ Kate, Owner of Sweets For Me
