What is black and white and elegant all over?
✨ THIS ✨

What else we loved…
• the mixture of rounds and rectangles at the reception
• putting drapery as the ceremony backdrop
• the flower bouquets for the tables ran the aisle of the ceremony - dual use!
• those rented black chiavari chairs
• placement of the sweetheart table at the mirrored wall
• white table cloths with black napkins
• the strategic mixture of those white and black tapered candles in extra tall glass hurricanes…what sparkle!!
• the grooms black suite and white tie…common 🤍!

Ooooooo..
We fell in love with this couple’s ideas for their wedding. They nailed it!

✨the September colour of dresses
✨dried arrangements, mixed with so..much..greenery
✨the twinkling lights all above the aisle which were GORGOUS. Who installed those, why .creative of course - make note!
✨the brides hair adornment
✨the simple table settings, rocked by linking colour and rock chunk table numbers
✨and let’s hear it for the branch vine work on the wall of the ceremony doors, by
✨the choice of photographer, who caught all the light, in and out…and got these peeks out next day - BOOM

Look at the details, and you will see what we mean.

What if you did things differently…like…

✨ Had your photographer capture before and after being dressed..
✨ Had a cake bar cart that was used later as your small and elegant champagne tower…
✨ Had an artist who did your hair a couple of ways before you really danced the night away…
✨ Used ivory and greenery to follow every shot, every glance, every wall…

What if … you get inspired to celebrate, differently?

STYLED SHOOT - you may have seen this used in Instagram posts, or in magazine features. We participate as a backdrop venue for many and love watching these groups of creative artists collaborate together; building content for themselves, to use, be published, and to build inspiration for your own big day on a “stage”.

The work is real (we have the easy part!) but the best part for us is to see the networking and creative energy flow. There just is not time to work together like this during a wedding day. Roles are defined and timed to the minute. Some people are not even on site (like your baking or calligraphy provider), and not everyone gets to see how things pull together or chat together during the day.
And there is the pressure of the importance of the day to you, your guests and families.

Some styled shoots, like the one we showcase here, open up their day to other photographers, in a workshop format. This allows other photographers to learn new lighting and tricks, and to build a community, and makes use of hours of planning and detailing.

Then it all comes to YOU to INSPIRE, DELIGHT, and to build your knowledge base of offerings and talent out here.

This is the time when styled shoots can happen so keep an eye out because…What’s not to love??!

A glimpse at a 10pm moment at The Brownstone. A fabulous Tuesday wedding (such is 2022 post lock downs) is dancing and enjoying time around these two while team works the bar and they can finally watch their day-long labour show up as smiles all around them.

Running a business together is tough and, after a busy long weekend, finding time together is almost impossible. There are kids, dogs, a business to run, scheduling and staffing juggling and issues of the day; it is HARD work!

It is a bit like learning how to ride the bus standing. The continuous starts and stops can make bumping into the person beside you both good as well as frustrating .You know, that feeling of holding onto something/anything tightly so you don’t hit them for the umpteenth time?! Really, how many times can one say sorry and just not predict the next move? And should one say sorry each time, or just let it happen and trust that it is just part of the ride?

What really matters is knowing it is a bus ride that you will get on and do again, and that is what makes this kind of moment worth sharing - to remind us of how giddy two people can look, just knowing that someone else is working the next morning instead of them! Oh the glory of sleeping in after a 7 day run!!

Smiles well earned, and all knowing. Sleep well tomorrow and - in a few hours that is! ZZzzz

05/17/2022

There are bars and then there are bars that ROCK - for this, that and also amazing bar tending; ours focusses on our core values.

“What?”, you say? Yes - we focus on Client and Guest experience from 8am until…rock and roll closing time!
