Not long ago I made a little daytrip out to Kyneton to shoot two beautiful houses - one belonging to photographer Tara Pearce, and the other to florist Vanessa Partridge. Both Tara and Vanessa were amazing women to meet, incredible creatives who had each made the 'tree-change' and set up their respective businesses in Kyneton. With business partner Caris Haughan, Vanessa runs Prunella - the sweetest and most stylish florist in Piper st, the main street of Kyneton. Tara is one half of Erin + Tara, a fantastic little wedding photography business Tara runs with her pal and fellow photographer Erin Neale.
So you can imagine my secret thrill when I learnt that Prunella and Erin + Tara had joined forces! (I actually didn't even know they knew each other... I guess no one is a stranger in a small town!?). These clever creatives have paired up to offer a full and fabulous wedding and event styling service for anyone planning a wedding or party in the Macedon Ranges area.
Together, Prunella and Erin + Tara offer complete theming, flowers, photography, stationery, styling and hire of selected props and furniture. Prunella creates wild floral masterpieces, beautiful bouquets and unique buttonholes. Erin + Tara are the superstar photographic team who capture so many special weddings in the Macedon Ranges area. There is quite honestly so much incredible creative talent and energy between these four clever ladies - talk about dream team!
To learn a little more about this inspired creative collab, do check out this little post on Erin + Tara's blog! Prunella's website is also worth a little visit - Vanessa and Caris make amazing floral creations for all kinds of events, and they also run incredibly popular flower arrangment workshops!
