Sarah + Tim

When we met with the bride-to-be we started off with a blank canvas, the colour pink and some tricky hanging pendent lights. We loved taking this creative journey with Sarah as we evolved these ideas into a glamorous vintage wedding at the Metung Yacht Club.

We designed a custom ceiling feature of pastel ribbons and glowing fairy lights, soft white draping and hints of vintage-glam to really make this day shine for our couple. 
Putting Sarah & Tim's mark on the day with handwritten signage and personal elements made this an unforgettable weekend for them and their guests.
Congratulations to the happy couple once again!
Special thanks to our amazing team for all their sewing, tying, ironing and ladder-climbing and to Light & Type for capturing our styling.

Hayley + Hamish

Once Hayley & Hamish found their perfect location, they couldn't wait to start planning and neither could we!

Guests were invited to a weekend away through the windy roads and mountain tops to a gorgeous backdrop at Dinner Plain
to escape from the city and watch these two tie the knot!

JB Hut blanketed in snow made for a true winter wonderland feel for their cozy ceremony.
A burlap aisle with baby's breath lining the edges and a statement alter of a hand-crafted arch from their friends,
styled in fresh blooms set the mood for this intimate affair.

Fire pits and blankets to keep guests warm a bar carved out of snow to begin the fun festivities of the evening ahead, all ensured everyone was comfortable, had a drink in their hand and sharing lots of laughs.

After canapés and bubbly were served at the newly-weds' chalet,
guests were treated to a homely reception with long tables adorned in neutral floral arrangements,
crisp white linen, glowing candle light and of course some fun table-games
all underneath a canopy of fairy lights with a cozy fireplace to make guests feel comfortable and right at home.

Thank you to Hayley & Hamish for allowing us to style one of our favorite destination weddings yet, for you both.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, your family & friends during our wedding journey with you.
We hope your future as Mr & Mrs is as glorious as the weekend that was.

Claire + Lev

You know you have the perfect recipe for the ultimate wedding when you meet a couple like Claire & Lev.

When we first met this vibrant couple, the inspiration we received was that of a jewelery box. Rich bright tones and gorgeous intricate detailing. So with this in mind, we created a wedding where guests couldn't help but have the night of their lives.

With a combination of strong modern tones - meets elegant Victorian architecture, we created a day to truly compliment our Bride & Groom.

Under a canopy of glowing Festoon lights in the rear courtyard of the Riversleigh stood the stunning alter with asymmetric style florals and a sheer backdrop to softly float in the breeze.
Fresh blooms adorned every nook and around every corner paired with hand-dipped gold votives and fresh white linens. 
Designer scatter-cushions mixed with both contemporary & modern furnishings made or a relaxed vibe throughout the evening.
With cozy blankets around a hay-bale lounge to keep guests warm and a fabulous jazz band to keep their dancing feet happy, this cocktail wedding just oozed love and laughter throughout the day. 

From our happy memories of Claire singing in the courtyard microphone before she was whisked away for hair and makeup, to the most gorgeous page boy & flower girls peeking around corners and whispering whilst we worked our magic, and the Groom making his way down to us pre-wedding just to say thank you. You got a true sense of the bond within this family and what an honor it was to be a part of your day.

Thank you for welcoming us and building such fond memories throughout our journey together.

From myself & all our amazing team; 2 things...
1) Our upmost Congratulations to you both on a beautiful marriage!
and 2) Cutest page boy award, hands down, goes to little Atti!!

As always, I'd like to extend a personal thanks to all our outstanding team & vendors for their talents throughout Claire & Lev's wedding. Having a 1 in a million team like this, brought me to tears later that night, so thank you, truly.

Emma + Ben

With a beautiful ceremony by the water's edge on the Village Green of Metung, full of friends, family and smiles all around.
A perfect setting to exchange their vows.
An absolute delight styling a simple cocktail reception
for such a bubbly, relaxed Melbourne couple, that is, Emma and Ben.

Gorgeous Metung played the ultimate backdrop for a weekend away from the big city for these two and their loved ones.

Emma and Ben's Reception captured a relaxed feel with hints of pink and peach against the crisp white linen and glowing fairy lights and candles at The Metung Yacht Club.
Lighting played a significant role in setting the ambience for the evening with balconies adorned in fairy lights and candles to compliment indoors.

"It's hard getting married somewhere that is so far from home so it was great being able to trust someone else to organise evertything so we didn't have to stress about it.
The set up was awesome and you guys were a pleasure to work with.
You made my life so much easier and helped make our wedding day a stress-free one. 
Thank you."
- Emma Green, Married 10/10/15 Metung, VIC
