New Look, New Website - The faces behind "The Inspired Occasion"

Welcome to the new "The Inspired Occasion". A new year,  a new look and new a website. We can't thank Tiffany from Pick Inc Web design enough for working with us to create a logo that reflects who we are.

And on the topic of who we are, we thought this would be a perfect opportunity to introduce the faces behind the company. A mother daughter duo who have a flare for style, sophistication and thinking outside the box. We love a challenge and can put many hats on from disney princess to lego to rustic and stylishly lavish events.

Alex the passionate foodie and less is more approach blends perfectly with Susan the creative and details driven stylist. With us both having extensive corporate event management backgrounds we are loving bringing private functions alive with style and attention to detail.

We have already done some great events this year and are excited with having so many  new events in the pipeline to share with you all over the coming months.

The Inspired Occasion

The Inspired Occasion - Hot off the Press!!

The Inspired Occasion is back in 2012, bigger, better and with even more inspiring ideas brought to you by a fresh new online team. 

Our new relaunched blog will feature special feature editorials from some of Australia's die hard events enthusiasts along with the tips, features and ideas that have made us one of Australia's favourite event styling resources. 

Kicking us off into the new year is Sheridan Wright, freelance writer, PR dynamo, event manager and professional event attendee. A serial offender on the events circuit , Sheridan will bring you fortnightly (and humorous) accounts on what is happening in the world of events. Whether it be the launch of a new brand, the revamp of a bar or the opening of an envelope, she will be there gathering tips on what's hot and more importantly, what's not.  

We are also very excited to introduce to you another new member to The Inspired Occasion blog team. Fresh from the UK -  Ellie.  Ellie will be providing weekly blogs on much asked for topics such as party and food trends, fool proof recipe ideas,  and cost effective DIY party solutions. 

The Inspired Occasion will of course still be committed to keeping you up to date with all our latest baking creations, event management tips and party styling ideas alongside regular blog features and submissions on party trends in Australia and overseas (including bios on great party venues, restaurants, hotels and gardens). 

With many new exciting projects on the horizon, we look forward to sharing what will surely be a fantastic year with you.  

As always, feel free to get involved with feedback, good, bad or indifferent, because without your input our occasions wouldn’t  be so inspired.

Stay tuned next week to meet a new member of The Inspired Occasion team!!

Adventures with iWeb

Today was a beautiful sunny day, perfect outdoors weather. Guess where I spent it?

Indoors, with my laptop, tapping away.

The old site - take a look at the new look one and let me know what you think

All for a good cause though - I was busy updating our website, which has been on my 'to do' list for a while now. Not being overly technical, each time I need to update it, I know I need to allow a good chunk of time to get through it all.

Using iWeb does make it slightly easier, although it also reduces the ability to customise, meaning I have to use pieces of HTML and CSS coding, both of which are another language for me!!

I have promised myself that I will learn Dreamweaver over the next few months, but until then - this will have to do.

Take a look and let me know what you think. Happy to have everyone's suggestions and feedback!
