Aloha – Lucie + Rory – Byron Bay Wedding
Lucie and Rory’s magical Byron Bay wedding will always have a soft spot in our hearts. Nestled in the beautiful hinterland, their day was filled with personal, heartfelt and creative details that completely summed up their relationship and family values – inspired by their mantra for the day, ‘Aloha means love.’
Having strong family ties to Byron Bay and following a sweet proposal in Hawaii, Lucie and Rory wanted to draw inspiration from both locations when it came to the styling and design of their day. The end result? A beautiful fusion of tropical Hawaiian influences paired with the relaxed vibes of Byron Bay, as we created a truly memorable and unique celebration in the hinterland.
Guests were welcomed into the ceremony space with their own hand-strung lei to symbolise love and family, with delicate white orchids for the ladies and green foliage for the gents. Hand-painted wooden stumps with white etchings were scattered on the lawn, as a rustic timber arbour adorned with tropical palms and white blooms created a lush backdrop for Lucie and Rory to exchange vows in a sincere and heartfelt ceremony.
Celebrations continued poolside at the property, where we created a fun Hawaiian-inspired setting under the sun with a tipi on the lawn. Tropical influences resonated throughout the entire design, with seagrass umbrellas, vintage surfboards and potted plants in woven baskets complementing a relaxed mix of cocktail furniture in earthy, natural textures.
Inside the tipi, we created picnic style seating for guests with low feasting tables set amongst textured rugs and printed cushions. Sweet bunches of white blooms and foliage dotted the space, while an oversized tropical arrangement cascaded from the entrance. It was the perfect setting for guests to enjoy as they sipped cocktails from the vintage airstream caravan and tucked into a Hawaiian-inspired menu, all underneath glowing strings of festoon lights.
With the bride being a creative soul herself (founder of Australian jewellery label Babyanything), our team worked hard to ensure that each and every detail was thoughtfully considered and beautifully designed to fit the brief. Captured perfectly by Lara Hotz and featured recently on Hello May, They All Hate Us and the Babyanything blog, we are so humbled we could help bring this love-filled celebration to life with our planning and styling services.
