Some might say that celebration exists most vividly in our memories. That the planning of an event starts with the question, 'what do I want to remember?' Light, flavour, scent, colour and conversation all contribute to the final blur of fantastic imagery and the associated emotions.

To help paint your very own picture of celebration, we steer your focus towards tactility; hand-blown glass with slight imperfection, silk slips, lace detailing and delicate jewellery that adds subtle yet unmissable sparkle. Everyone knows that fragrance can bring on a flood of memories, so infuse your day with rich, mellow ambers, hand-blended citrus notes and natural woody undertones. Finally, turn your thoughts to colour — the warmth of love-worn wood, the neutality of white, fresh radiant greens, barely-there pinks and a spicy pinch of saffron red...
