OUR NEXT GUEST | In the middle of hurricane Covid19 all WRP events were placed on hold. I decided to seek the silver lining and explore everything that makes the events and wedding industry hum. Turns out my own backyard is the perfect canvas to entertain and catch-up with like-minded people. So, if (like me) you love eating fancy-free food, beautiful table settings and listening to conversations with bite, pull up a chair and take a seat...

THE GUEST: Introducing Fleur Egan. British gal, stylist and Founder of SISTER B BRIDAL / @sisterbbridal - a bespoke wedding dress stylist supporting your custom wedding dress experience. You can also stalk Fleur on instagram here @fleureganstyle
Safe to say that no topic was off-limits. Fleur is fabulous at putting anyone at ease. Her enviable list of contacts and eye for detail will have you looking far from everyone else. Her enthusiasm is infectious and much like a wedding planner, she is bi-lingual when it comes to dealing with brides and suppliers, a skill she has mastered covered the years like a pro. Check out the latest wedding of Lisa Veronica in @vogueaustralia to see Fleur in action.
THE SETTING: Lunch in any courtyard (weather permitting) is always a good idea. I chose a table setting that didn’t scream wedding but was both timeless and chic. Shout out to these brands.
