How We Styled Chrissie Swan’s 50th Birthday.
At flowerdose, we believe flowers do more than decorate a space – they set the tone, capture emotions, and create unforgettable memories. So when we had the honour of styling Chrissie Swan’s milestone 50th birthday celebration, we knew the florals had to reflect her vibrant personality, warmth, and zest for life.
This was no ordinary party – it was a sun-drenched, laughter-filled afternoon surrounded by Chrissie’s family and friends. Our job? To transform the table and space into a bold, joyful floral story that felt both elevated and inviting.
The Colour Story: Bold, Bright & Joyful
We leaned into a palette of sunny yellows, fiery oranges, rich reds, and pops of purple – hues that radiate energy, optimism, and celebration.
-
Roses in red and yellow formed the hero blooms, symbolising love, friendship, and joy.
-
Oncidium orchids added a playful touch with their delicate golden sprays.
-
Delphiniums and statice brought in cool contrasts of lavender and blue, creating depth and balance.
The result was a floral tablescape bursting with vibrancy, perfectly echoing Chrissie’s signature warmth and radiance.
The Table Styling
Set outdoors under striped yellow umbrellas, the long dining table became the heart of the celebration. Each floral arrangement was styled in modern mustard-toned vessels, designed to harmonise with the sunshine-bright colour palette.
-
Long rows of abundant blooms ran down the table, encouraging connection and conversation.
-
Crisp linen tablecloths and yellow napkins kept the look fresh, layered with colourful patterned plates for a touch of playfulness.
-
Crystal and glassware reflected the afternoon light, adding a sparkling finishing touch.
Every detail was considered to ensure the florals complemented the food, the laughter, and the relaxed yet celebratory energy of the day.
Inside the Space: A Floral Welcome
The celebration extended indoors, where guests were greeted with lush floral installations in soft blues, creams, and yellows. Styled around the fireplace, these textural arrangements created a striking yet welcoming focal point, blending art, flowers, and atmosphere seamlessly.
