Alison from Wild Rose Sweets and Events styling, styled this beautiful garden party which she called a garden delight for Australian's sweetest morning tea which raises money for Cancer...as told by Alison:
One of the great tragedies of cancer is that it does not discriminate by age. It is not a disease that affects the elderly after they have lived a full, long life. It is a disease that can strike at any age, in any circumstance. It is heart wrenching that children can experience such pain and challenges at such an early age. As I embarked on the amazing journey that is the Sweetest Morning Tea I came upon a quote by Patrick Swayze that resonated with me. ‘I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.’ It is with these words that the ‘Garden of Delight’ was born. I knew immediately that the shoot had to be outdoors amongst lush greenery with the girls experiencing the simple joys of sunshine, friendship and fun. We used a colourful palette including shades of pink, coral, mint, and aqua embellished with mixed metallics. To a child the world is full of colour, wander and joy and I wanted our shoot to be a reflection of that. The amazing natural elements and textures of the outdoor location created a gorgeous green backdrop and contributed to the intimate feel of the picnic.
