A feast for the eyes at The Great Hall for Venetia & Conor

The wonderfully gothic Great Hall and MacLaurin Hall at the University of Sydney. The high ceilings, and ornate details were a breathtaking backdrop for this wedding.

Recent musings up on the blog. From 'I Do' to 'I'm Exhausted': The Impact of Cognitive Fatigue on Wedding Planning. Who can relate?

Planning a wedding is an exhilarating and joy-filled journey for couples, but it can also be a daunting and mentally draining experience.

Embracing the whimsical charm of a cottage garden, this stunning wedding at the Foundation Hall at MCA for Louisa and Tom was a celebration of love amidst a tapestry of vibrant blooms and enchanting ambiance. ✨🌸✨ The lush foliage, delicate flowers, and rustic elements took us to a different place ⁠⁠⁠⁠

This is one of my favourite pictures from Alana and Emerson's wedding day at The Calyx, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. These girls having so much fun and enjoying the night, and the flowers. This is what it's all about, completely letting your hair down and embracing each moment. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Stunning Alana and Emerson...a wedding that thankfully happened a while ago between both lockdowns in Sydney. It was such a joy to be part of this event. I particularly remember how excited we were to hear some live music again and have people up on a dance floor. Such a gorgeous wedding to have styled. Loved every minute.

Transforming an empty space like The Calyx into an elegant party presents some challenges. Which is why we were brought in to help.

The Gili Rooftop at Taronga Zoo. I love using this space, and I loved the bright colours even more. A little bit of a unique brief for us with such vibrant playful colour, and I can't say I've ever used a purple aisle runner at a wedding before, but there you go!!

Well, I think it says a lot given this is the first wedding that I have had a chance to post this year. But it was such a treat to style Harleen and Jarrod's wedding at the Gili Rooftop, Taronga Zoo. Coming out of lockdown last year, it was so much fun working with such playful colours. And as they say, the future is bright!

The brightest wedding awaits this beautiful couple at the Gili Rooftop, Taronga Zoo. It was an important date full of twists and turns indeed, but a wedding so unique.

Next level love story...Olivia & Henry tonight in a little marquee for an at home wedding in downtown Longueviĺle. It took a little village of awesome people to get this across the line, but oh so beautiful. Congratulations to Liv & Henry and their gorgeous families. Ken and Anne, your home and hospitality was spectacular. Special thanks to Georgie and Chloe for the bump in! Xx

An anniversary dinner for the sweetest couple, the fastest year ever despite navigating through a pandemic. What a joy to work with one amazing Mrs to plan this surprise dinner for her husband...so much fun once again to plan an incredible evening. And naturally, behind me were a clever little village of superstars who sprinkled magical fairy dust over everything to bring the night to life, thank you and Georgie. Outstanding!!!

Last year I wrote about many of our venue friends pivoting their business to gourmet food delivery services in the midst of the pandemic. Well I finally got around to signing up for a meal subscription to yeschefdelivers The same team from Grand Pacific Group with awesome venues like Gunners Barracks, Sergeants Mess, Dunbar House and The Tea Room QVB

Take a look, it's been pretty life-changing. The food so delicious, definitely not possible to pass these meals off as my own cooking. Congratulations to the team at Yes Chef. Now all I need to do is work on my mad plating skills.

Well, it's been a long time since our last post. If I'm honest, the break from social media has been so lovely. But I am beginning to miss my friends here and all the lovely connections that that brings. The roller coaster of planning an event during COVID has been hectic. For every event that has gone ahead in the past 12 months, there has been a handful postponed or cancelled. And it's really tough taking that ride with every couple affected.⁠
⁠
But on the weekend, this gorgeous event (which we have been planning since way back when last year) happened for the lovely and ⁠
⁠
So utterly thrilled for them that it was such a magical day, beautiful venue and everything just unfolded like clockwork. It also felt like a first in a long time for me, when the brakes have been taken off with so many of the COVID restrictions. ⁠
⁠
Aside from the pressures of work, and delivering something on time and on brief, I actually thoroughly enjoyed being around people, seeing my fellow event pals and other suppliers showing up to do what they do.⁠
⁠
Weddings are back people. Well at least for the time being. This wedding was definitely worth the wait and all the love and hard work. Congratulations Lauren and Germano, what an amazing day. 😍😍
