Time to get planning

So this weekend will begin the process of my first-ever "South-West" wedding. 

This is exciting for me as I'm very much a "promote-WA" kind of girl. 

I'll get to spend the next two days chatting with my awesome clients, Tony & Ione, who I had the great honour of planning, styling & coordinating their engagement. 

It's time to organise their vintage Bling Wedding and I cannot wait to get started. 

Stay tuned... I will keep you posted

Breakfast at Tiffanys

This was an amazing day...

It started at 3am : wake up roll out of bed and pack the car

3:30am leave for Burswood on Swan with my 2IC Cristina

4am: arrive at Burswood On Swan and the first thing I do is HAVE A COFFEE,.... Thanks Linzi

Let the set up being!

While having plenty and coffee and sugary sweets to keep the three of us going, we started out setting the tables centrepieces.... The beautiful craftsmanship of Cristina was just spectacular.. She was given a picture by our Tiffanys Bride - Esther and Cris managed to give Esther what she desired...

The centrepieces along with adorned pearls and candles just have the whole room a fresh morning feel. The venue with the candle-lite isle and spread over with diamontes was just stunning - if I do say so myself..

From the draping and chandeliers to the foyer and cherry blossom trees, the whole morning just rang smooth. It was PERFECT!

When Esther approached me asking to plan her wedding, I don't think she expected what she got... Esther and Steve gave me their budget and I ran with it. All Esther wanted was the theme "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Because it being August, E & S didn't want to risk an outdoor ceremony - and good thing too. Even though it didn't rain that week the ground was too soft and our guests would've been losing their shoes in the grass.  They also didn't want a different ceremony venue.

So I styled their whole day at the one place.

Ceremony isle was cut down the middle of the reception centre, with guests seated at their seats and parents at the bridal table..

The amazing Crooner, Michael Battersby, serenaded the guests through the ceremony and during the meal time... When it came to their first dance, he sang Unchained Melody to perfection... After the DJ got involved and the guests got to dance the morning away.

Everything was just so much fun to style.  E&S trusted me to do what I needed to make sure their day ran perfectly. From styling to rehearsal coordination to on the day coordination.  It was amazing! 


At the end of the day, when taking an outdoor group photo, I got to sit back and watch the bridal clue and their families laugh and enjoy the day - Perfect!
