I love a clever business name, so when I saw {Darling Details} cross my path, I had to investigate further and I wasn’t disappointed. Monique’s work definitely lives up to her ‘Darling’ Reputation and is just one of the many words I could use to describe her beautiful style.
When Monique sent through her responses, she told me her background was in Corporate Events, Conferences and Tourism. On moving to Adelaide, Monique set up {Darling Details} to full fill the love for creating a space that has Wow Factor (Yes, I can completely relate to this one)! Whilst these days Monique’s work isn’t fuelled by the corporate dream budgets (uh huh, I remember those days too), this certainly shows no boundaries to the quality and professional execution of Monique’s oh so stylish events.
Describe your style in five words? Unique, fresh, diverse, clean lines, professional.
What has been your favourite theme/event to date?
To date it would have to be my Great Gatsby inspired dessert table. I loved reading The Great Gatsby as a teenage girl which I know ignited my passion to create unique events for people to enjoy.
I had so much fun creating this table for a wedding expo. I was inspired by the decadence of the roaring 1920’s so by using black feathers, pearls, lace and mirrors I was able to give the table a nostalgic feel with a touch of glamour.
Where do you look for inspiration? People, places, fabric, colour, fashion, props, books, interiors, the list could go on. Seriously, inspiration is around us everywhere we look, it’s how we interpret inspiration that creates style.
Name one of your all time favourite event décor elements? What is that makes this element so fabulous?
Paper! Paper is such a budget friendly resource that can instantly create a look. From gorgeous invitations and printables to paper fans, garlands, backdrops, props and unique DIY’s. Paper is so versatile you can cut it, roll it, staple it, shape it, colour it, print it, design it. Love paper!
What is your number one piece of advice for planning an event?
Don’t forget the toolbox! Hehe, I did this once and boy did I regret not having my fishing wire, scissors, 3M hooks etc at my fingertips. Let’s just say I learnt my lesson the hard way.
