The delicious cake by ready to be devoured by dancing guests! Creating a few clusters of plates of cake for guests to come and enjoy when ready, allows guests a larger serve of cake to enjoy and ensures your dance floor opens up sooner (one less seated course)! ⁠

So for those following on from home … we have had a tonne of beautiful shoots this year to create an opportunity for us to inspire you and ourselves and have fun with vendors we love. Each time I have wanted to create an ‘experience’ within all the beautiful styling elements with our dream teams. For our Sebel Yarrawonga shoot it was all about the chocolate cake, berries, cream with assorted decadent meringues! Add in some stunning coupes and you have a table that will have guests lining up!

And yes, to my beautiful couples asking the question! I have been collecting all of these pieces along the way so we can recreate the magic at your weddings too … with our own spin on it to suit your day of course. Ps you’ll die for the next one .. I haven’t even shared it yet and I’ve locked it in for two weddings! 🍑

Big love to for all those meringues!

The weather was wild but we managed to create something beautiful at the with our usual dream team.

My goal was to create a ceremony that was inviting a place to linger, somewhere to meet for pre drinks and even stay on after. The wind prevented this part but watch this space as this will be coming to a wedding soon! 

So for now, enjoy all the glorious colour and beautiful details of this gorgeous day and the fruits of our amazing team. The blooms by Sal and Ruth are next level!

Big love to Tess and Steve for letting us marry them all over again!
