I've had several brides in the store recently, checking out our purple coloured confectionery, lilac coloured flower girl baskets and ring pillows, lavender coloured bomboniere and so on... It seems purple (and anything related) is currently a very popular colour for weddings!
For those of you who LOVE purple, here are some pics to inspire...
Summer is upon us! Having a beach wedding? Here's a little taste of some of our bomboniere, place card holders and other items, with a beach theme in mind... Happy wedding planning!


Until next time...

Well, this is my second post for today but there is just so much to talk about, I hope you'll forgive me for being a little self-indulgent.
It's hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner! If you haven't begun to think about your Christmas shopping, now is as good a time as any. Why not pop in to our little store and pick up a unique gift or two for someone special? We have our usual selection of giftware in store for babies, bridesmaids, flower girls and groomsmen, but you don't have to be having a baby shower, christening or wedding to find these gifts interesting! Most are appropriate on any occasion - so why not the festive season? And we have some new favourite things to show off! Check out these adorable Georgie Girl baby ruffle pants for baby girls, handmade in Brisbane, Australia! A big thank you to Tina, who creates these little gems, for providing photographs.

If you're in the market for a stunning gown or cute suit for your baby's christening day, we'd like to introduce you to our beautiful range.
I'm proud to say that most of the christening outfits at Very Special Celebrations are Australian made. We source our products from well-known companies and brands that parents know and trust, but we also stock garments from lesser known makers in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. So if you're tired of browsing in stores that seem to be full of cheap and nasty, mass produced clothing for children that you've seen everywhere, and you're looking for something unique and special, you may find a little treasure in our family owned and operated store.
Catering for all budgets and tastes, Very Special Celebrations stocks lovely baby dresses starting at $85 through to our elegant formal christening gowns ($170 to $375). Gowns come in a variety of fabric combinations including cotton, polyster, chiffon, silk and more, and some are hand smocked.
Perhaps you have a baby boy and you'd rather break with tradition and have him dressed in a stylish romper, two piece set or tuxedo! With prices ranging from $65 up to $190, we're sure we can help you to find something suitable.
New designs have just arrived so don't hesitate to pop in and check out some of the new products! I will try to post some pics in my next blog post...
Until next time, have a lovely weekend and I hope to see you soon!

I've been exploring Etsy and HAD to share some of these gorgeous creations with you - Stunning bridal bouquets made from fabric flowers, buttons and more!

Thank you to Liza and Jilliann for allowing me to share some photographs from their gorgeous Etsy stores. Check them out at the links below!

Lolly Bars, Candy Bars, Lolly Buffets, Dessert Buffets... whatever your preferred name for them, they're a great addition to any special occasion. Be it a wedding, engagement, christening, baby shower, bridal shower, or birthday party, lolly buffets are a cute alternative to individual favours for your guests (or you can do both!) and you can have a lot of fun creating a visual feast for the eyes!
Finally, a big thank you to Wemsical Cupcakes for providing us with these pics of a lolly buffet created for a family member's kitchen tea! You too can get creative at home just like this, for your next event!
Below are some images to inspire you! The first few are courtesy of Party Perfect Orlando who specialise in events planning for bar and bat mitzvahs - not a common event here in Australia, but nonetheless, I found their photographs to be impressive and inspiring! Party Perfect Orlando also have a cute blog called Mitzvahlicious (I just LOVE the name of their blog - so cute!). There, you can download some fun signage in pdf format for your lolly buffet display... Remember Augustus Gloop from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? If you do, you might like these quirky signs thanks to the folks at Party Perfect Orlando!
I recently discovered the work of Amy Atlas and oh my goodness, her dessert tables are amazing! You simply must check out her website and blog. Here's a little taste of what you'll find there...


Enjoy!
