Happy New Year to you all. I hope you had a great New Year whatever you did. We had some friends over for a BBQ, the kids swam and we were all in bed by 10pm.
As you may have heard I've decided to close down the retail side of my business to concentrate on styling and my family. I just can't do it all, I'm certainly not a superwoman. So the shop drew the short straw. I absolutely loved sourcing all the products for my shop and really loved seeing how my customers used them in their own parties and celebrations. Yes I'm a little sad but I'm also excited about what lies ahead this year. I have some fabulous jobs on the horizon and can't wait to share them with you.
Today I created this all white dessert table for Julie and Dean's wedding held at The Strand at Rugby Quay. Dean is a dentist so Julie requested that we incorporate lolly teeth into the design.
A huge thank you to all the vendors that worked with me on this.

ReplyDeleteI am just starting out my own dessert/sweet table business and I must tell you that you have been a complete inspiration. This is the most stunning dessert table! I love the fact that it's not just another crisp white table yet a soft vanilla shade with hints of leaf green and the pink teeth peeking out perfectly bring it all together. Just Gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing.

The Teeth are SENSATIONAL! what a gorgeous colour pallete to work with and a beautiful dessert table. I hear you Sharnel, I don't know how you did it, I juggle a job and a shop as a single almost 33 year old, not an easy task! A friend of mine has now joined me in the shop thankfully, but it still is most definitely a juggle- can't wait to see more of your styling this year. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit slow catching up with holiday posts, but this is heaven. Love the colours and I can almost smell that soft sweet scent which floats through the computer to me. Yum. I wish I could get married again just to have you create one of your sublime dessert tables.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharnel, Love your blog and amazing dessert tables. So inspiring! Best wishes for the New Year
