If you want a marquee wedding, knowing where to start and sourcing everything can be overwhelming!

So we offer a marquee design service that removes all the guesswork and uncertainty, priced from only $550.

We love designing marquee weddings as they provide a blank canvas, and can source everything needing, including pulling all your ideas together to create a beautiful concept that suits you, recommending all the furniture, decor and your own unique colour palette to give you a day that perfectly represents who you are as a couple.

HOW THE SERVICE WORKS
We'll meet at your marquee location, and talk through what you have in mind. I'll offer advice and discuss what needs to be considered to choose the best location for your ceremony. I'll assess and measure areas suitable for your marquee, determine the size to suit your site and guest numbers, then provide floor plan options showing layouts of all furniture.

Together we'll also discuss all your styling ideas, view your Pinterest boards and I will provide a quote for everything for your day. From the marquee and equipment (with quotes from a range of marquee suppliers), through to all the hire furniture, decor, florals and setup.

Instead of liaising with separate suppliers, we can be the one company you work with to bring your marquee wedding to life. You may even wish to add extra services such as bar staff, our fabulous little cocktail cart, and on the day co-ordination.

If you love the sound of this, get in touch and let's setup a site visit to talk about your fabulous marquee wedding.

Are you ready to propose, or would you love an utterly romantic marriage proposal?

Our proposal packages start from only $1250. And for additional support to remove any of your stress and not feel completely nervous, we can organise whatever you need - from devising a plan that fits your lifestyle, to sourcing a private location, recommending secluded accommodation, a helicopter ride, and creating a magical setting. And your proposal can all be captured with a highlight reel for you to share on social media and announce your engagement.

If you're proposing, then all you need to do is prepare yourself to ask the big question ‘Will you Marry Me’ ?

If you would love a proposal that'll sweep you off your feet, why not give your partner a hint by tagging them 😉

You know the weddings where people say, 'this is so them' - THOSE ARE OUR PEOPLE!

The couples we work with all have their own sense of self and unique ideas.

All the beautiful details are important to them.
They want a wedding that genuinely represents who they are as a couple and will happily leave out the stuff that doesn't interest them.

They desire an experience that makes their heart sing. One that lights them up.

And they are so excited about celebrating their love story, in style, with all their favourite people.

C&C were exactly like this and came armed with a heap of unique and fun ideas that we offered guidance and advice and helped bring their wedding to life. We also provided wedding co-ordination, styling and florals.

If this sounds like what you'd love then visit our website or get in touch to book a complimentary chat to talk about all things weddings.

Have you seen our Louis chairs? These are stunners in dark timber with carved features and padded linen seats. Yes ultra lush padded seats! Which means they are super comfortable to sit all day and evening. So if you're wanting to ensure your guests are comfortable for the entire wedding day, you can't go past these chairs. And a bonus if we're co-ordinating your day, we'll move the chairs from the ceremony location into the venue.

Such a dreamy bridal bouquet for the lovely R ❤️ Sophisticated with a hint of old-world using the most exquisite fragrant garden roses.

Did you know that to create the perfect bouquet for you, we'll ask you to send images of you wearing your bridal gown. This is so we can assess the size, the shape and type of foliage and flowers to source for your bouquet. All to create a stunning bridal bouquet that perfectly compliments both your bridal gown and your shape.

So every bridal bouquet we create is totally different as it's all about what suits you.

Trying to decide on the look for your table settings can become confusing, as there are so many beautiful ideas on Pinterest. But sometimes simple and classic works beautifully, just like this wedding for R&L with the warmth of timber tables, classic white runners styled with clusters of bud vases and candles down the centre of the table. For this look we love mixing the styles of vases for interest, using different shapes (and we have hundreds) finished with beautiful seasonal flowers, and adding crystal votives and patterned glassware.

And when you choose to work with us, we'll talk through all your ideas and the fun part is coming into our showroom to experiment with all the table decor to refine a style that's perfect for you. Plus we'll recommend and calculate all the quantities needed.

Get in touch if you would love our help to style your wedding or event.

Our classic urns are a timeless style and created a striking feature at the entrance to this ceremony, and were then moved into the reception.

When you choose to work with us we’re all about suggesting ways to repurpose your ceremony florals and get the maximum enjoyment and ‘bang for your buck’!

We have white urns and stunning rustic aged urns that are beautiful features when placed on plinths.

What would you choose
- the classic white or rustic aged urns?

Ceremony plinths offer a framework that so many styles of florals can be created.

For this wedding we clustered white, soft blush and dusky pink florals together in tight groups suspended across the frame so they appeared to float…

We certainly loved this look…

Lush table garlands for this wedding with a colour palette of soft pinks contrasting with the depth of burgundy.

The mixed foliage was bound and hand tied in 80cm bundles in our studio. Over 30 metres was layered on the tables then tucked with berries and small posies of fresh florals.

Our rose quartz table numbers, burgundy napkins and floating tealights in cylinders completed these gorgeous table scapes.

As professional wedding planners with over a decade of experience, we understand how stressful and overwhelming planning your own wedding can be. And we know not everyone has the budget to hire a professional wedding planner...

But what if planning your wedding could be easy and stress-free?

What if you could:
- have the support of a wedding planner
- get step by step guidance, advice & tips
- have your own online planning board to save all info
- get all your questions answered
- feel supported while planning your wedding
- connect and share with others
- have zoom meetings with a wedding planner
- get priority invite to a styling and floral workshop

AND having all this would eliminate all your stress and be affordable!
