WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO

It has been a busy start to 2012 for Marilyn Grace so we thought we’d share a couple of images with you so you can see what we’ve been up to.

Tuesday 6 March saw a celebration of cool around the launch of HUNT NO MORE in Sydney. The aim of the evening was to create a very sleek, fun atmosphere to showcase the brand to the city’s cool set.

A very NYC styled bar – Since I Left You on Kent Street– provided the perfect venue for the evening with its moody interiors, raw outdoor spaces, side laneway, sandstone entrance and wrought iron gates. The exposed brick walls offered the perfect backdrop to project the brand’s campaign, still imagery and short movies for guests.

The courtyard, and a beautiful balmy night, created a great party atmosphere, highlighted by the custom ‘Dagger’ cocktails, DJ tunes and hot models swanning around the glamorous crowd.



From the city we headed to the beach for the Sydney Carnival Media Launch at North Bondi Italian.

It was jammed packed for a Monday morning, with Cam William acting as MC interviewing the beautiful ambassadors, Jescinta Campbell and Kelly Smythe, The Minister for Tourism, The Hon. George Souris MP, the Chairman of the Australian Turf Club and leading jockeys Kathy O’Hara and Corey Brown. Here the crowd got to hear the insiders guide to the upcoming autumn Carnival, including the hottest styling and racing tips.

And if that wasn’t enough, there was plenty of horse action surrounding the event with legendary racehorse Takeover Target gracing the shores of Bondi Beach on a picture perfect Sydney day.

INSPIRATIONS



We have just got back from Paris on a sourcing trip for some of our very special upcoming weddings, and so far our best find is an amazing supplier for charger plates.

Charger plates would have to be one of my favourite editions to a tabletop. They can transform a simple table to a very chic, classic setting, or provide a great pop of colour in seconds.


Here’s a look at my favourite examples of perfect use of a charger plate.
