Moments.

We all read about "special moments" on your wedding day, but if your newly engaged you might want to read this and start making a journal of all your "moments"from the beginning of you both, right througout till the the lead up to your big day.

*When you first Met - what did you think of your partner, did you ever think you could date them

Write down your thoughts as a moment.

*First Date - did you ever think youd be planning a wedding with this person or agree to share the rest of your life with them on that first date?
Write down how you felt as a moment.

*Engaged - how did you feel what raced through your head, how did family and friends react - bottle that feeling as your "moment"

Moments throughout your journey will be plenty. From venue sourcing, visiting nearly every single wedding expo going, dress and suit shopping, ring choosing, vendor meetings, crazy little things you do in each others company are All going to be moments.

By recording these for your personal records will make telling your story to your celebrant and prepping your vows and speech writing a whole lot easier when the time comes.

The Other Story Writers
Content Creators.

Two and a half years ago when I was following our UK vendor cousins, I noticed this new scene of vendors popping up. These folks were capturing all the BTS wedding stuff that most Photographers and Videographers would either edit out or simply not be present for. It was game changing, and I became a big fan .

Fast forward to today, as a pro I welcome Wedding Content Creators into the industry with open arms. They are an asset for businesses like ours and a fabulous alternative for couples who may simply just not like having their photo or feel awkward in front of tripods cameras etc.

I find it sad to read such negative views from other pros, who just simply dont get it, or are scared it will take away their business.

It wasnt that long ago Photographers were putting in contracts that they wouldnt work with videographers or live streamers - now its the content creators.

Truth is unless youve worked with superior content creators like bymeg
and many many other fabulous pros offering this service,
It might be hard to understand the value these exceptional businesses bring.

They dont get in the way, they dont steal business and they certainly do go the extra mile to capture everything thats super special long before and after togs and vogs have either started or finished.

If a content creator is something you really want for your wedding, first read the contracts from all your suppliers. If any state they wont allow these types of vendors (content creators) and the contract appears one sided, its then your decision if the business calling for this, is someone you actually want to work with - unless of course theyre a globally renowned or Vogue featured vendor then well....

Content creators are here to stay and we love them! Thankfully all our recommended pros we work with, embrace and welcome them too.

So heres to the content creators and the many more happy memory making times you capture ahead.

“May your love be firm,
And may your dream of a life together
be a river between two shores by day bathed in sunlight, and by night illuminated from within.
May the heron carry news of you to the heavens, and the salmon bringthe sea’s blue grace.
May your twin thoughts spiral upward
like leafy vines, like fiddle strings in the wind,
and be as noble as the Douglas fir.
May you never find yourselves back to back
without love pulling you around
into each other’s arms.”

James Bertolino

Winter Weddings.....

Have a lot going for them.

Yes, summer weddings sure are stunning but there are some downsides to consider.
Sweltering heat, flies, florals perishing, not to mention hectic itineraries with other summertime weddings, some guests might be forced to RSVP 'no' to your warm-weathered wedding.

Me personally, I LOVE WINTER WEDDINGS and heres a few reasons why.

❄️More Venue availabilty and better rates
❄️Less Stress finding vendors you really want
❄️More variety of enchanting seasonal florals
❄️Atmosphere is cozy, flickering candles, fireplaces
❄️Has the best natural lighting for photos
❄️Can be more creative with menus - comfort food!
❄️Indoor Ceromonies are a vibe!
❄️Use of warmer toned Colour pallets
❄️Greater oppurtunity to opt for "Black Tie"
❄️Hair and makeup tends to last longer
❄️Less time between ceremony to reception
❄️Lush greenery
❄️Sunset shots are done alot earlier
❄️Honeymoon to tropical/ summer destinations

So if some of the above has you thinking, hmmmn I like where this is going - Lets Chat!!

❄️Bookings for May - August 2025 are now open❄️

Some of the Biggest Complaints about Weddings
We hear from guests.

1. "Its too hot. Its too cold".

Factor weather in your budget right from the start. Guests do NOT care about how much you spent on etsy for customised names to sit on the tables, they care about enjoying your wedding.
More comfort = more enjoyment.
Hire those heaters in winter
Get that marquee covered and airconed in summer
Have a wet weather or extreme heat ceremony back up plan.

2. "Is there any more food?"

Because you like sushi or think a grazing board or a few pizzas is going to be sufficient - think again.
If you want to invite a truck load of guests and not have the budget to feed them you may as well throw all your hard earned money youve put into the reception through the shredder.
If theres Not enough food, people leave early, DJ's play to empty dance floors and the only guests left are those who stay cause theres free booze.
FEED YOUR GUESTS!!!

3. "My 80 year old mum has no where to sit?"

So youve invited 100 guests for a cocktail wedding and hired 2 lounges and a couple of arm chairs and 4 hitop tables "cause all your guests like standing .....
C'mon!!
Poor Aunty Joan dressed in her finery has just had a lovely time watching you get married, stayed around to have family photos, all whilst your younger able bodided friends have gone straight to the reception space, taken prime position on those lounges and aint moving.
Make sure you have enough seating for at least 40%.of attendees.

4. "Its really hard to breathe in there"

Smoke machines (dry ice) can be catostrophic for some guests and vendors.
Clouds for dancing look beautiful but they suck the air out of a room, and can cause breathing issues.
Want to clear your reception space quick, get a smoke machine with guests that have respitory issues.
Asthmatics & Hayfever sufferers where you at?

Champagne Towers!!🥂🍾🥂

If your thinking of having a Champagne Tower at your wedding, its bound to be a focal point for your celebration.
Heres some tips to help you get the absolute best experience for when your tower takes center stage.

✨️Timing - For me its straight after cereomony or right on entry into Reception

✨️Height - Try not to think of hiring something too big just to get those insta worthy shots.
If your tower height is going to go past your necks when pouring its probably too big.
You want to be able to see and watch your pour and enjoy it, not trying to balance on tip toes trying to reach!!

✨️Champagne not your drink of choice, but love how a tower looks?

Why not opt for

🍸Martinis (Dry or Espresso)
🍋Limoncello
🍊Aperol Spritz

✨️Position - the tower needs to be on a level surface so be open minded if you find your tower isnt in the exact mm location to where you wanted, if the floors not level its usually moved as close as possible to your opted spot, but to an area of the ground that has a level surface.

✨️Have a Weather back up if pouring outside, in case of rains, extreme heat, strong winds - remember its glass!!!

✨️Try not to risk a DIY tower. Yes they might be cheaper but are they if it falls?
Leave to experts who have both the skils, knowledge, hygene safety standards & insurance to cover their products and work.
Dont risk a $200 kit you saw on marketplace turn into public liabilty mess - the cost of a falling tower and the damage bill is alot more than $200 - Leave the tower building to the pros like these guys did and used .com.au
