WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION BEHIND THE STYLING FOR THIS PARTY SHOOT?

For Joshua’s Holy Communion we were inspired by the invitation design by Paper Playground. This was inspired by calm tones of blue and a Hamptons colour scheme. The round halo wall was inspired by the Tabernacle with the decal of the Holy Eucharist inside.

WHAT WERE SOME OF THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF THIS SETUP?

Our new Xavier prop was the centre piece of the backdrop which aimed to relfect the Tabernacle –hence it was customised with the Holy Eucharist decal. We used the latest trends when it came to displaying florals in large pots, and a floor decal to complete the whole look.

The jumping castle in gorgeous blue with a stunning garland was also a standout feature. The table settings were styled with tones of blues, greys and silvers to bring the theme to life with beautiful paperie and candles. The custom bombonierre were also a gorgeous feature and incorporated a number of keepsake pieces inside clear acrylic boxes.

SHARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR THOSE PLANNING CHILDREN’S PARTIES AND CELEBRATIONS.

I always like to get to know the family and child up close and personal, so the event and theme can reflect them – so this is an important tip if you’re a stylist. Always incorporate something special that they will remember for the rest of their lives. Also include a surprise that the family wouldn’t be expecting –which is something I always try and do – it adds that special wow factor and shows you’ve gone above and beyond for them!
