And for some more pictures!

Self service food table. We kept pumpkin soup warm in slow cookers which was a great hit on a cold winters night.

Mr & Mrs arrive!

And the lucky catcher.. I think she has a few years to wait!

The beautiful Bride!
And if you are wondering about the stunning feather pieces you are seeing on the Bride and as the cake topper, they are made by the very talented Faith Valent of Feathers by Faith. Her pieces looked just incredible and she was kind enough to let me have one to wear!
Congratulations again Charlotte, it was so fantastic to have a part in planning your and creating a memory for you. All my love xx

A vintage wedding in Bunninyong - Part 1

Oh dear blog, I have been away from you for some time. One of the reason's is that I have been busy organising the most fantastic wedding event I could for my dear friend Charlotte. She is the most lovely lady who helped me with all the labour work to put together Sam's birthday. Well the event has just occurred and it was a most fantastic night. Charlotte of course looked just stunning, and their couldn't have been more smiling faces seeing the love between this gorgeous couple!
First step, a theme. Inspired by the likes of Mumford & Sons and how fetching the bride looks in vintage attire it was just common sense to go down this route. So first to get the guests there, an invite.To make this slightly trickier the couple eloped and so this invite also acted as the announcement of marriage. The event I designed was the party for family and friends to celebrate with the couple. Here's the finished product...


For the venue we choose a local historic hall which is very close to the couples hearts as it's the town hall of Bunninyong where the groom Marc is also the Captain of the local volunteer fire brigade. Some before's...

As you can see there were some pretty good bones to work with, but it does look pretty amazing after some styling. Below are some photos from the night. Special features were the lolly table, message bored in lieu of a book, reclaimed timber screens and some inventive lighting designed for a quick pack up!
The cake and sweet table. Board features a monogram designed for the couple which was also included on the invite. On the reverse of the timber is the message area.
Drinks table with a great vintage find, the punch bowl set!
Reclaimed chicken wire is a great place for attaching tags with messages written on them - and some fantastic artworks from the the children!



Mmmm cake!


The bouquet, which also had a matching corsage. I was quite chuffed with how well this turned out.
