When a couple holds a special connection to their wedding location, it makes it all the more humbling to be involved in their day. For Amy & Brett, their Byron Bay wedding was about more than just exchanging vows – it was a true testament to their love, the hardships they had overcome together, and the incredible journey of their relationship.
Set in the Byron Bay hinterland, The Orchard Estate was the perfect blank canvas to bring Amy & Brett’s vision of ‘contemporary elegance’ to life. As the wedding planners and stylists for the day, we worked with a soft colour palette of dusty pink and antique mauve, offset with crisp whites to create a truly romantic and modern luxe feel that resonated throughout the entire celebrations.
The lush hinterland views became a picturesque backdrop for Amy & Brett’s sweet ceremony overlooking the mountains. A mesh wire backdrop dressed with asymmetrical blooms added a modern touch against a circle of white bentwood chairs and textured rugs, creating a truly personal celebration of love.
We were lucky enough to work with an incredible indoor space for the reception styling, with the polished concrete floors, white walls and black framing of The Orchard Estate barn helping to set the scene for a beautiful evening to unfold. Long tables were draped in soft grey linens, overflowing with white and mocha orchids, blush roses and feathery pampas grass that spilled out gracefully onto the floor.
Place settings were kept simple but elegant, with ceramic crockery and gold cutlery tying into the brushed bronze vases that lined the tables. Grey watercolour stationery with delicate torn edges sat beneath hanging gold pendants and exposed bulbs, creating a warm and intimate ambience inside the barn. Guests sipped on Frosé and Aperol spritz as the sun began to set, creating a pastel watercolour sky that became an unforgettable backdrop for the evening.
It was such a genuine joy to be involved in Amy & Brett’s incredible celebrations with our wedding planning and styling services helping to turn their vision into a reality (you can get in touch with our team for more information on our packages).
