It's finally Spring, and in Melbourne, that only means one thing for punters - Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival! This year, our theme was to stay true to Spring, and that was to celebrate all things fashionable, floral and we go ga-ga for fascinators! But it isn't an OIP Editorial without our touch of balloons, desserts and all things sweet!
The set up was nothing short of amazing, set up at
Neptune Food & Wine in Prahran, we transformed their conservatory space, adorning the ceiling with a balloon installation in mint hues from
Moonshot Balloons. What sat underneath that though was another showstopper, customised signage from
Sketch and Etch all adorned by floral artistry from
Wild Flos. One by One Cakes created a giant rectangular grazing cake, surrounded by beautiful fresh florals and amazing treats.
Ain't no party though without the food and drink, the Rosé was from
Days of Rosé, and that definitely kept the day going on all day! And the grazing boxes were deliciously supplied by
Just Grazing Through, which was actually perfect for the
Cool Clutches that we took along to the picnic set up at St Kilda Botanical Gardens.
With the help of
David,
Arpita and
Annie, we are able to bring to life such a fun shoot to showcase all things Spring Racing this season! The girls were beautifully transformed with hair and makeup from
St. Kristal. They were dressed to the nines in
Anthea Crawford for wardrobe,
Jimena Alejandra for jewellery,
Murley and Co. for fascinators and mixed and matched their accessories from
Blinged Official and
Bag Queen. David was dressed head to toe in
Gibson Clothing and was styled by one of our favourites,
Styled by Ramzy.
We hope this shoot inspires some of your favourite looks, from classic black and white of derby day to the fun bright colours of the Melbourne Cup! Have fun this carnival season!
