MAISON MAGAZINE Spring 2015 Luxury, Property, Lifestyle | Page 2

LETTER FROM
THE EDITOR
Welcome to the spring edition of Maison magazine!
Now that winter is finally behind us, it’s time to enjoy everything the new season
has to offer. For many Melburnians, a trip to the races will be in order over the
coming months; our guide to some of the major racing events, including Derby
Day and the Melbourne Cup, can be found on page 2.
The warmer weather will also be transforming gardens across the city. Now is
a fantastic time to take advantage of the colourful blooms by creating striking
floral arrangements to decorate your home and impress your guests. Arranging
flowers just so really is something of an art form, so if you need assistance to get
started our tips on page 4 should prove useful.
Finally, when planning your outfit for the races, the headpiece is a crucial
element. Whether you want a wide, sweeping brim or a delicate feathered
fascinator, we’ve rounded up some tips for selecting a flattering headpiece, as
well as a rundown on a handful of Melbourne’s top milliners.
Spring is always a busy time in the property market. Many vendors are keen to
sell and get settled in a new home before Christmas, while the warmer weather
helps many properties look their best. A selection of the finest homes currently
on the Melbourne market rounds out the magazine - we are sure you’ll find
something to inspire you.

Happy Reading!
