Modern Luxe – Casey + Brenton – Byron Bay Wedding
There is truly nothing better than working with a genuinely lovely and down-to-earth couple. From the very first time we spoke to Casey and Brenton, we knew their Byron Bay wedding was going to be something special!
It was clear from the beginning that Casey and Brenton wanted to make sure we had a strong understanding of who they were, their unique personalities and the relationship they had built together. Being based in Manly and planning their wedding interstate, we will always remember the time they took to really share themselves with us, allowing our team to plan a wedding that truly reflected them as a couple.
With the rolling hills of the Byron Bay hinterland as their backdrop, we worked with an elegant and organic colour palette of crisp whites and fresh greenery to set a “modern luxe” tone for their love-filled day. A minimal but refined ceremony setting was created on the lawn amongst moody grey skies, with a simple timber arbour adorned with an asymmetrical arrangement of lush foliage and white blooms.
After a relaxed cocktail hour on the lawn, celebrations for the evening continued underneath a beautiful clear marquee, where we created a modern and sophisticated dining space filled with elegant details. Long rows of tables draped in fresh white linens were paired with sleek white wire dining chairs, creating a contemporary and industrial look that we softened with organic details. Pale grey napkins, exposed candles and gorgeous floral arrangements of greenery and blooms completed the tablescape.
Lush foliage canopies from above created a romantic and intimate ambience, hanging from the roof of the marquee and contrasted against geometric copper pendants and exposed bulbs. Guests enjoyed a rustic feasting menu, with shared platters helping to create a warm and homely feel. With dark clouds looming above for the entire evening, you could say it wasn’t your typical spring wedding – and for that reason, it was completely perfect.
One moment that we will always hold dear to our hearts is closing off the house for Casey and Brenton to share an intimate first dance together, just the two of them, in loving memory of Brenton’s mum. It’s often those private moments shared between the bride and groom that become the most cherished memories from the day, and we are always humbled that we can help to create these special moments for our couples.
