When our couples share our appreciation – and obsession – for the finer details; magic happens. Alex and Michael were an uber-creative (and seriously lovely) couple who were just as excited as us about all things stationery, signage and design. These two were dreaming of a whimsical, woodlands-inspired wedding filled with homely styling details and plenty of layered textures – and needless to say, we loved bringing their vision to life.
Set amongst the country-style surrounds of The Farm House in the Gold Coast hinterland, their celebration took place on a perfect autumn’s day with blue skies and warm, balmy weather. We created a sweet outdoor ceremony using timber bench seats, wooden chairs and statement white doors (lovingly made by Alex’s dad) for our bride to make her entrance. Down by the lake, ceramic pots spilling with fluffy pampas grass and creamy white blooms were paired with scattered candlesticks and tasselled lanterns for an eclectic, bohemian feel.
After a love-filled ceremony, guests made their way to a clear marquee on the lawn, styled using a monochromatic palette of earthy layered neutrals. Long timber dining tables sat underneath a floating cloud of dried foliage and fairy lights, while tablescapes were kept simple yet intentional: a mix of soft blush florals paired with luxe gold place cards, handcrafted limoncello favours and dove grey linen napkins. Each element was thoughtfully curated and purposefully designed to add depth and detail to each setting.
Outside the marquee, we created comfortable breakout areas on the lawn, complete with eclectic rattan lounges, luxe velvet cushions and a kombi van photobooth to capture an evening of love, laughter and memory-making. And finally, to kick off the festivities: a dreamy orange sunset that drenched the entire venue in the most perfect, warm amber glow.
With an amazing team of suppliers by our side, we loved bringing this day together for Alex, Michael and their nearest and dearest.
