The Dawning of Age Thirty

Bring on the flower power with this 60’s Summer of Love inspired 30th. The colour, the sun, the peace signs, what an era! Time to embrace your inner hippy! Peace, love and harmony!

What inspired you to choose San Francisco?

San Francisco is such a unique place. So full of contrasts and stories. I love the story behind the Summer of Love! The era had great music with beautiful messages, amazing colours, patterns and a chilled and natural look.

What influenced the theme and styling?

We decided on a picnic at a park. Enjoying the Brisbane winter sun and having a relaxed vibe.

Which DIYs or party trends did you incorporate into your shoot?

We included several trends, such as boho themes, picnics, green walls, grazing tables and a champagne wall.

What is your favourite thing about the USA?

Contrasts! Nothing is simple in the USA. It is a collage of history, cultures and colours.
