TMC recommendations…it’s about who you know!
My vision for The Morrison Collaborative has always been one that is inclusive of local and small businesses, which are supportive, non-competitive, and helpful. I truly believe that no one travels their journey alone. Somewhere along the way, someone has pointed all of us in the right direction and given us help when we have needed it.
With that being said, I have had a lot of cheerleaders waving their pom-poms showing their support for me and helping me to get my vision up and running. Along the way, I have gained strong support, made some beautiful connections, and am building a wealth of knowledge. This is what I want to give back to you, my new supporters and OG’s, genuine and authentic experiences. I want to connect you with the ones I know and trust, the ones I know will provide quality service to you. This is not just wedding-related either!! It’s a little bit of lifestyle, well-being, food and a little bit of fun!
“Balance is the key to a happy life“
As time rolls on, I invite you to check back in with this page and to keep an eye out for new recommendations and collaborators. If you’re another small business and would like to collaborate with me, get in touch, I would love to meet with you and talk about how we can support each other and The Morrison Collaborative community.
1. Judith Ann Calligraphy Artist
https://judithanncalligraphyartist.com.au/
I think we’re losing the art of writing, the art of handwriting. With our phones in our hands and laptops in front of our faces every day, we don’t take the opportunity to write in fresh notebooks and use the fancy pen we stashed in the junk drawer in the kitchen. I mean, what was the purpose of getting our pen license in Mrs Greenhalgh’s class in year 3 if we weren’t ever going to write!
Now enter “my lovely calligraphy lady” Judith Ann. Judith Ann is a creative soul who has mastered the art of Calligraphy. Judith Ann is my first choice when needing Marriage Certificates written for marriage and she has now become my teacher.
I wanted to try something creative and calligraphy is so graceful and romantic, I wanted to know how I could create my own masterpiece. I won’t lie, I tried YouTube to start and couldn’t pick up such intricate art by video. Judith Ann has shown me grace, patience and taught me how to slow down during my classes, plus, not to mention the laughs and long conversations spark a little joy each week.
Check out the link above to view some of Judith Ann’s work or if you’d like to have a personal class with her, I would highly recommend.
2. Aintree Cottage
Swan Valley Accommodation and Wedding Venue | Aintree Cottage | 64 Lefroy Avenue, Herne Hill
I met Nicole in 2023 when I was the Celebrant and MC for a wedding. Nicole (or Nikki as she is fondly known) owns and runs this multi-functional country getaway in the foothills of the Swan Valley.
Nikki grew up at Aintree and back in the day the location was host to Quarter Horse racing. Now, the rustic/farmstyle property offers the perfect spot for a DIY wedding or special event, with a large barn, grassed areas, rustic two-bedroom cottage, and dormitory style accommodation.
Nikki prides herself on personalising her service and she will be with you every step of your planning at Aintree. Check out the link above, I just won’t give Aintree justice with my words alone, you need to take a look at the place!
3. Barbara Cavalli – Facial Therapist
East Perth WA
If you are looking to prep your skin to glow for your big day or if your looking for treatments that will help your skin hydrate and age gracefully using attainable products, you really need to visit Barbara.
Barbara’s warm and welcoming nature, knowledge of skin care and the science behind good products that your skin needs are just a few reasons to go and visit. On your first visit Barbara will give you an in-depth assessment of the status of your skin and what can be done to rectify any issues you want resolved.
The invaluable and logical information Barbara provides will make you wonder why you hadn’t visited sooner. Barbara also makes her own products and I can tell you, once you’ve tried them, you will be hooked!
I am so glad I discovered Barabar, she’s introduced me to a whole new way of thinking about my skin, a different perspective on aging and introduced me to affordable and luxurious products without the huge price tags (I was a sucker for the big brand names).
I promise you, you will enjoy every minute you spend with Barbara! Take a visit and see for yourself!
