Sarah Married Sam in a beautiful garden wedding later followed by a reception in a stunning marquee set on Sam’s Parents property.
We were delighted to assist Sarah in styling and decorating large feature pieces to complete the look she and Sam wanted for their family and friends inside the Marquee.

“I wanted a warm colour of apricot through my theme featuring on the bridesmaids, groomsmen pocket squares and boutonnieres, bouquets, as well as the table arrangements and Kim Chan’s large floral arrangements inside the marquee. I thought the apricot colour contrasted well against the other wood theme we incorporated through the wooden rounds on the tables, and on our invitations.”

“We chose Coniston gardens as the venue for our ceremony as it has a stunning backdrop of lush gardens and surrounding features which our guests loved and were captured so well within our photos. We were fortunate to enjoy our marquee reception on Sam’s parents property which was super special for both of our families.”

I asked Sarah her best piece of advice for brides to be- “Make sure you designate a few key people to have a working knowledge of the entire day’s proceedings so that you don’t feel as though you are the only person who knows what is happening and when, as that is a lot of pressure to place upon yourself! ”  We couldn’t agree more with her on this one – appoint someone you can rely on, – if they are good at timekeeping – even better!!

she said “It was also great to have use of the restrooms inside the house (away from guests) to touch up our make up throughout the night.”

We wish Sarah and Sam all the very best together.
