WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | ANTONIA & LEWIS

Antonia & Lewis's Summer wedding had a warm, romantic feel & a lively energetic vibe - just right for a summer soiree!

The colour combination of burnt orange, terracotta & white created a rich & romantic atmosphere with a touch of rustic charm. With gorgeous signage, all designed by the Bride (a talented grapho!), and glorious blooms by Style by Ashleigh K, it was DIVINE x 100!

SOO much WED - spiration here!

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | NICK + BRIDGE

Still one of our all time fav Winter Weddings.

Nick & Bridge's EPIC celebration was warm, classic & timeless and filled EVERYONE with joy (especially as it might have been a while coming following a few COVID related delays...).

Regardless, four years on we're still drooling over the pure simplicity of this beautiful and breathtaking display! Floral genius at work!

BE WED-INSPIRED (even on a cold winter's night!)

WE'RE BACK!

After a Winter Break to re-charge, re-connect and re-inspire (not sure if that's a word but DEFINITELY lots of WED-spiration on the way over the coming weeks - let's go!).

Either way we were back with a blast for the Monash Wildfire Ball last night at The Chateau, for our 15th year! As always it was an absolute BLAST.

A flashback here to 2022, oh what a night!

It was WED-spiration for days at Kayla & Mitch's January Wedding!

Summer at The Chateau is THE perfect time of year for a Cocktail Style Wedding and boy did this one have it ALL!

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | GENEVIEVE & JEREMY

It was a full four seasons in one day at G & J's Spring Wedding - and we were fully prepared for ALL possibilities!

With rain in the early afternoon it looked like an inside ceremony would be on the cards, but when the skies cleared (and with Genevieve & Jeremy's blessing AND desire to be married in the gardens, it was full steam ahead to the gardens!). We will let these gorgeous pics from Linc at In the Vines tell the rest of the story!

We LOVE:

Being prepared for ALL weather possibilities!
Flexible backdrops which can be easily (and quickly) moved when plans change
These gorgeous clear umbrellas - perfect for wet weather pics...... not to mention the CUTEST fur-baby, Combi Vans, giant foliage urns and overheads all wrapped up in a HUGE celebration!

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | ELISE & XAV

It was an absolute privilege to host Elise & Xav's wedding last weekend, their glorious Autumn celebration may have been planned in less than 2 months but from the word go it was all in and we knew it was going to be AMAZING!

The charm & warmth of Chateau Dore in the Autumn provided the ideal backdrop for this stunning celebration. E & X's classic palette of black, white, and green, accented with fluffy white roses and lashings of babies breath was DIVINE (love your work Magnolia Blooms).

The day started with breathtaking entrances to the ceremony immediately followed by joyful toasts of champagne and moved to boundless energy on the dance floor, with every magical moment treasured by all in attendance. At it's core was love and support of family and friends who brought the celebration to life with lashings of enthusiasm.

We LOVED:

Elise's arrival in her dad original Monaro with her gorgeous Mum Lois, prior to walking her down the aisle also with her uncle Paul

Champagne Tower & Wall combo after the ceremony - bubbles for all within moments!

The most perfect vintage cake from Mia at .peac.h

Absolutely EVERYTHING about these pics from the magical Christian !

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Leahy!
