Cowboys, hunting plaid, and somewhere in between - the first few months of the year didn’t hold back.

From Lucy’s epic 50th in Red Hill to those darlings getting married in Flinders, we kept the good times rolling across weddings, celebrations, and everything the season threw at us. No two are the same. All of them ours.

Details to match. Moments that linger. Thank us later.

Sunflowers, but not as you know them.

Stripped back, sculptural, a little moody. We're seeing them shed the bright and breezy cliché and step into something far more considered. Dark centres exposed, petals pulled back, arranged with the kind of quiet drama that stops people mid-conversation.

The same energy we love bringing to a tablescape. Swipe for 10 arrangements worth saving.

Darcee and Matt’s wedding was designed around a simple idea - to bring people together over exceptional food in a setting that felt entirely natural. The setting led, and every detail followed.

Set within a flourishing garden, where florals blended seamlessly into cherry blossoms and existing garden beds lovingly cared for by the grooms mother, creating a soft, wild, almost fairytale-like ethereal ceremony setting.

The reception drew inspiration from the intimacy of a French bistro, centred around a long sweeping, curved table dressed in ivory linen, polished silverware, and soft lamplight. As evening settled, the space came alive with warmth, conversation, and a considered sense of simplicity, allowing the landscape to remain the true hero, creating an atmosphere that felt both refined and relaxed.

The menu followed suit, generous, seasonal, and deeply considered. Dishes were hand picked by Darcee and Matt incorporating all their favourite dishes from their favourite restaurants, encouraging conversation and connection, with each course unfolding slowly as the evening deepened. The experience felt abundant yet effortless, where food, wine, and company took centre stage.

Non-alcoholic doesn't mean boring. We don't do boring.

The Cookes Yuzu Grapefruit Paloma is what happens when you actually put thought into the mocktail menu. Zing, freshness, and a garnish situation that'll have people asking questions.
