Princess Party

We were lucky enough to be involved once again with the Amira Project's Princess Party earlier this year. We had so much fun at Mirra Private Dining last year we went back! The night was once again filled with inspiration, motivational information and fun times designed to enhance the lives of young women from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The night kicked off with some fun activities for the girls. This year, Geraldine from Bouquet Boutique helped the girls create their very own centrepiece. This was a big hit!

The girls also had the opportunity to write down their wishes and dreams on heart shape cut outs and stick them to the famous "Tonight" wall at Mirra in Fortitude Valley.

With hair and make-up artists on hand at the Party, the girls were made to feel like real life princesses.

At the end of the workshop, the girls were then apart of a huge balloon release. Each balloon had attached the dreams and wishes of every girl.

To make the night even more special each of the girls were then escorted into their dining room by a very dapper young gentlemen with a beautiful flower in tow.

  

The girls were seated at long glamourous styled tables whilst listening to the motivational speakers throughout the night. Big thank you to Amini Concepts for helping us with the table styling.

After dinner concluded, it was time to dance.

At the end of the night, the girls didn't go home empty handed with each of them receiving a bag filled with goodies to help them remember this night forever.

This Princess Party would not of happened without the support of the lovely organisers and volunteers that helped pull together this event for the girls. We look forward to next year's Party!

A Fairytale Wedding

Today we are very excited to be able to share with you the wedding of Kaitlin + Scott! This truly was the fairytale wedding that we all dream of having as little girls from the gorgeous Darb gown and sparkling shoes to the Champagne tower by Free Spirits and a eight tier cake by Cake Star right through to the ballroom reception at Sanctuary Cove which was so stunningly styled by Amini Concepts and filled with glorious Peonies by Bouquet Boutique.

Kaitlin + Scott's guests were utterly spoilt for choice with a signature cocktail bar, a Champagne bar, a cigar + whiskey lounge complete with a cigar expert and whiskey connoisseur for the boys and a powder room complete with a hair stylist + makeup artist for the girls.

Everyone was treated to the loved up couples engagement film by Net Productions and were entertained throughout the night by the ever so suave Swing Central. The whole entire day was magical, which your about to see in the images below captured so beautifully by the amazing Marcus Bell + Adam Finch of Studio Impressions. Enjoy...

The Princess Party

w+w were lucky enough to be involved with the amazing Princess Party at Mirra, this year.

The Party, an initiative of the Amira Project (www.theamiraproject.com), was a night of inspiration, information and fun times designed to enhance the lives of young women at risk.

Here's what happened...

Once registered, the girls were all given balloons and ushered to the SHINE workshop. Here they were able to make friendship bracelets, write down their wishes and dreams and also messages of hope to girls living in the She Rescue Home in Cambodia.

Make-up and hair were on hand to get the girls looking fantastic for the night ahead.

The SHINE workshop concluded with a huge balloon release where each girl released their balloon with their dream attached.

The girls were then escorted to their seat by strapping young men, who also presented each of them with a flower.

The girls were then seated along beautiful vintage inspired long banquet tables for a scrumptious two course dinner.

During dinner the girls were serenaded by Scotty Fields and inspired by two wonderful speakers who uplifted and motivated them with their stories.

After dinner the girls partied away to Jamie Lee before all being given goody bags filled with an assortment of gifts as they left.

What an amazing night!

Thank you to our friends...Vintage Wares, Bouquet Boutique, Styled Events, Eyetopia Sound and Southern Cross for kindly donating your time and services. And of course all the volunteers on the night. Without your help none of this could have been possible.
