SELENA & CO

BY PELIN TOMEO FROM PICTURE PERFECT PLANNNG PERTH

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

This year the inspiration came from an idea I had been planning for my daughter Selena’s 9th birthday. I wanted to create a walk-in magazine booth prop using a theme to match this. My daughter loves the idea of Tiffany & Co and so we thought Selena & Co VOGUE as the concept for this walk-in magazine prop. The aim was to keep it fresh and exciting with a touch of elegance and still have it suit the audience.

WHAT WERE SOME OF THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF THIS SETUP?

I think the walk-in magazine booth speaks for itself! Having this concept for an actual magazine photo shoot was amazingly unique. This whole setup had so many gorgeous details from props and décor but the walk-in magazine booth prop alone gave the whole room Tiffany & Co vibes which was truly something else! The whole front of the prop is acrylic glass – top to bottom – making it easy to apply decals and style accordingly for any concept or occasion.

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

When styling a child’s party, always make the theme or concept align with what the child is passionate about. Focusing on the details that matter to them most is what they will be sure to remember! Before you reach out to a stylist, have your details ready such as a simple mood board with inspo pics, color palettes and décor ideas, and be open with your budget. The clearer the communication, the smoother the planning process. Most of all, give yourself plenty of time so that you can book in your favorite suppliers and vendors.
