FLASHBACK FRIDAY | ANJALY & TEJAS

Anjaly & Tejas's Engagement celebration in February 2024 was an explosion of colour, music, dancing & culture and an absolute joy to behold.

The gardens at The Chateau provided the perfect backdrop for their Summer celebrations, commencing with a garden ceremony where a band of traditional drummers lead the beautifully dressed parade to the alter. A ceremony filled with much dancing a many rituals followed.

Later a move to the Winery for more dancing and celebrating over an Indian banquet was a perfect end to the perfect day!

Happy Friday, enjoy!

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | CELINE & BLAKE

It may have been hot on Saturday but Celine & Blake's wedding was nothing but COOL!

A fabulous group of family and friends gathered under the shade of the mighty elms where this fab couple tied the knot before enjoying a relaxed cocktail style reception, using the shady gardens and chilly air-conditioned Winery in the best possible way.

Josh DeAruago & Jordan Allen ROCKED the tunes with a super cool vibe in the garden during the afternoon, then once the sun went down making sure the dancefloor stayed full ALL night long.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Millard!

We LOVED:

Stubbie holders & Zooper Doopers - keeping guests & beers cold - what more could you ask for?
GORGEOUS blooms by Petals + Posies which repurposed beautifully from ceremony to reception
C & B's furbaby Charlie who was SUCH a good girl! (Thanks Petcarers Bendigo who looked after this gorgeous girl)

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | KELLIE & VILI

One of our fav Weddings from last Spring, Kellie & Vili's intimate wedding was a gorgeous celebration of their love for each other and their beautiful family.

Kellie worked with Jen at Magnolia Blooms to create the most beautiful backdrop to their nuptials with enormous urns of green and white fluffy roses filling the space and which were later moved to behind the bridal table (we LOVE this clever repurposing!).

A theme of black & white weaved through the decor made for an elegant and timeless finish, it was superb!

Be WED inspired by:

MASSIVE statement florals with big value in repurposing! Key pieces with Urns in the garden, Bridal garland and fabulous cascading blooms on the table ends - WOW x 100!
Black tie for the boys (our fav!)
Gorgeous floorplan for an intimate soiree, we LOVE the bridal waltz!

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | JANE & CHRISTIAN

What a joy it was to be involved in these celebrations!

When Jane & Christian contacted us mid December (from the UK) about an intimate & relaxed wedding between Christmas & New Year 2024 (yup, just a few weeks to lock it all in!), we (like them) were all in!

The spontaneous & laid back duo were looking for relaxed and understated vibes. Living in the UK and back home for Christmas (Jane is a Bendigo girl who found her perfect match in Christian, a German fellow), they had already wed in Italy in October but for those who couldn't make the trip this ceremony was an important one.

The intimate I Dos took place on the 30th of December with Christian from behind the lens for these gorgeous pics.

Afterwards guests enjoyed a relaxed Italian inspired afternoon complete Grazing Table from Gather Grace, Aperol Spritz (always!) and FABULOUS profiterole cake from Brunetti Classico. Bravo!

Do you have something in mind that might differ from the usual celebration or want to put something together quickly? We are happy to help, contact Nicole at [email protected]

SNEAK PEAK | KAYLA & MITCH

There were so many details for today's wedding, we just couldn't wait to share!

Kayla & Mitch's black & white theme was made for this Summer Soiree with a backdrop of green, green grass and big shady trees!

From gorgeous B+W signs to fans and personalised stubbie holders to cocktails, champagne tower and more. Every detail was well thought out and executed to perfection.

Guests were offered a cool bevvie on arrival (bubbles or beer, yes please!) and the anticipation for what was ahead was palpable.

Special mention to our large urn arrangements and new overhead - perfect for a Cocktail style event AND antique sofa setting from 99 Luft Events which was AMAZING under the peppercorns and the location of some seriously fabulous looking family/bridal photos.

Enjoy our little sneak peak, we can't wait to see more from the professionals!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs H**e!
