From the moment we met Meg and Jesse and their families, we knew these were our kind of people. The kind you just hit it off with, who you can have a laugh with and who you know you can create true magic with. So teaming up with M&J to help them host an incredible day on their family property was one of our fondest experiences and one we will forever cherish.
Set on their family private property, in a paddock with stunning mountain views, we created a white and green provincial oasis, with hints of fun and a kiss of lemon throughout.
Guests were greeted at the garden gate with a glass of bubbly before meandering through the gardens, mingling under the shade of trees before being welcomed to take their seats at the ceremony.
With a backdrop of rolling mountain views, Meg and Jesse’s ceremony featured tall focal floral pillars at the alter . Think stunning roses, orchids and lush sweeping greenery. Gorgeous.
The aisle also lined with floral, white bentwood chairs and canvas umbrellas for shade set the tone for their summer nuptials.
Whilst the papers were signed guests were served lemoncillo shots and everyone joined in a toast to the newly weds as they were announced Mr & Mrs.
Delicious canapés were served and signature cocktails were a hit at the bar.
Their cocktail-style reception featured provincial lounges and high bar tables which flowed from inside the marquee, on to the deck with a feature bar installation, and then onto the grass underneath a canopy of festoon lights. The idea to encourage mingling and layer the styling around the dance floor and feature bar.
Our team relocated their stunning feature floral pillars to create a feature entry to the marquee and frame their champagne-tower moment. All details from their ceremony were transformed and repulsed to incorporation into the reception design.
Inside the nearby barn we styled the foyer for a quiet relaxing place for guests to retreat to with a secondary bar and tea and coffee station. A relaxing quiet space that sill looked and felt a part of the main wedding, styled with matching provincial furnishings and lush florals.
Meg and Jesse; It was an absolute pleasure working with you and we sincerely thank you and your families for welcoming us to the property and being so lovely and accomodating. It is evident that you are surrounded by some truly special folk, which was so heart-warming to witness on your special day.
You both have hearts of gold and will be forever grateful to play a small part In your amazing day. Thank you for entrusting us, your hospitality and being such a joy to work with.
Congratulations to you both, we wish you nothing but the best in this next exciting chapter together.
