Luxe Boho Picnic – Lizzy + Johnny – Private Property Wedding

Feb 23, 2017

Designing a wedding from scratch in just 12 weeks might seem like a challenge, but it becomes much easier when it’s for a sweet, laid-back couple like our Lizzy & Johnny!

After a blissful 5-year engagement, our creative team came on board to bring Lizzy & Johnny’s vision of a luxe picnic wedding to life in beautiful Byron Bay. The brief from Lizzy was simple: she was dreaming of an intimate, relaxed dinner party under the stars, for all of their favourite people to gather and celebrate in the one space. The end result? An incredible day filled with soul and family, and completely overflowing with love.

Working as the wedding planners and stylists for the day, our team focused on crafting beautiful, intricate details that would all tie together harmoniously to create a bohemian luxe Byron Bay wedding to remember. From the flower arrangements of delicate daisies and wildflowers to the simplistic but refined tablescapes that set the scene for the evening, it was important for us to create a wedding that truly reflected Lizzy & Johnny as a couple.

Guests sat in a circle on the lawn for a relaxed, non-traditional ceremony, surrounding Lizzy & Johnny as they exchanged vows in front of a simple white tipi. Celebrations continued to the wraparound verandah of the property, where guests sipped champagne as grazing tables overflowed with charcuterie and local produce. Relaxed rattan sofas and tarnished bronze lanterns were juxtaposed with earthy timber and leather accents throughout the space. Fresh greenery helped to tie the look together, with potted palms, giant succulents and cacti dotted around the verandah in whitewashed cement holders.

Finally, as the sun set and cast a warm glow across the lawn, the most beautiful dinner party came to life. Low feasting tables sat poolside amidst layers of rich textured rugs and patterned cushions, all set underneath strings of festoon lights. Tablescapes were kept minimal but refined, with scattered vessels of white blooms and green foliage interspersed with glowing candles, handwritten calligraphy place cards and cut crystal glassware.

It was a magical moment at dusk, with acoustic melodies filling the air and the twinkling festoon lights creating a beautiful ambience as celebrations for Lizzy & Johnny continued well into the night. We are so humbled to have played a role in their love-filled celebrations, along with a complete dream team of suppliers who helped bring this Byron Bay wedding to life.
