About

Forty years of craft.
One calm event.

Meet the Melbourne studio led by Yelka Jurinovic, bringing planning, styling, florals, cakes, balloons and hire together with care.

The founder

Care became her craft.

Her story started in hospitality as a child in a little Croatian village, then continued through nursing, family celebrations and the first events she organised herself. That mix of care, stamina and precision still shapes the studio today.

Her qualifications span tourism and event management, wedding planning, floral design, cake decorating, balloon artistry, special effects, window dressing and display.

What began as one family function became a Melbourne creative studio trusted for weddings, milestone celebrations, corporate events, cakes, florals, balloons, decor hire and complete venue transformations.

Our philosophy

Guests remember the feeling, but that feeling is built from details.

A balanced table, a cake that belongs in the room, florals placed where photographs will happen, a timeline that gives everyone space to breathe. Our work is the quiet preparation behind a celebration that feels effortless.
