You probably have noticed my increasing love and interest in event planning… It pretty much started here in Australia, but then a year ago New Yorker Amy Atlas showed me that there is another level of event planning, decorations and styling. She is the master in dessert tables and it seems that she started some sort of new trend, because there are now many other businesses walking down the same path, I’d say with reasons.

Think about it: you organise an event and in a little corner, you put together something so divine, so special, that each and everyone of your guests will remember that one last melting-in-your-mouth macaroon or the perfect icing on the cupcake and how beautiful the ensemble looked. Doesn’t matter if the risotto was overcooked or the salmon fillet too raw… it’s all about creating a strong, happy memory, and what is best than joyful guests leaving the party with smile on their faces?

The photographer is Monique Simone and her friend Azar is the clever mind running Montreal wedding planner business, Principal Planner. The tables you see here is the cooperation between the two friends, both working on a blog named Bride Scouts. Of course they live in Canada, but I am sure you can find plenty of inspiration to recreate something similar everywhere you are.
