IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.
Christmas is my favourite time of the year! What’s not to love about being on holiday, having lots of excuses for cocktails and receiving presents? One of the things I value most though is spending quality time with those you love.
Recently, I was invited to spend an afternoon celebrating one of life’s most treasured gifts, friendship. A couple of my friends, Helene and Tanya, who are the faces behind ‘Secret Women’s Business’, had the genius idea to host a White Party to end off the year in style. I had no clue what was in store other than the brief was to wear white, bring a gift to exchange and be prepared to have a fabulous time.
We began our afternoon at the home of our gorgeous interior designer friend, Danni Morrison sipping French Champagne. It was so lovely to hit the pause button, relax and enjoy a long overdue girly catch up. We then ventured up the hill to Aimee Provence High Tea Parlour in Buderim. We were greeted as we arrived by our favourite photographer Jason Hay to capture our time together. What a treat it was to have a professional to take photos to look back on. Stepping into Aimee Provence, I was instantly taken in by the luxurious surroundings, carefully selected furnishings, embossed table cloths, fresh flowers and exquisite tableware. Our host Aimee Russell and her friendly team indulged us with a selection of tea, delicious ribbon sandwiches, savoury canapes and sweet treats like Macaroons and scones served with jam and clotted cream. I’ve enjoyed high tea many times before but without question this would be top of my list to date.
