Our Favorite Part – Hearing how the Couple Met!

Michael and Tammie were both out one night at a bar. Tammie’s friend saw Micheal standing at the bar and asked him to follow her and she brought him over. Tammie got tapped on the shoulder midway through busting a move, she turned around and a tall handsome goofy man stood there and said, “Hi I’m Michael” and they never looked back.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue!

Were there any sentimental choices in styling?

Tammie chose to have a luxe, timeless look that would never date. Very simple, but attentive to small details. 

Funny enough Michael ended up wearing a pair of his Dad’s cufflinks from when he used to work as a chauffeur,  as he realised last minute that he needed a set for his shirt. Strangely they had the brides initials on them – spooky, but such a cool detail!

The Cake.

Simple but stylish. Tammie and Micheal opted for a blush toned fondant covered cake. It was finished off with a hand dyed silk ribbon sourced from Songbird Silk, the perfect luxe touch to finish the cake! Inside two flavours were chosen; chocolate orange for a jaffa flavour and a classic Vanilla. The best of both worlds!

What words of wisdom do you have for our Brides to be?

Some great advice here,

“Do exactly what you want and don’t let people influence your choices for the day. 

Michael and I invested so much of our time coming up to our wedding day to make sure everything was perfect for us. For people that have very high attention to detail, all the little things mean a lot to us so we tried to make everything perfect for us so we could enjoy and not stress on the day. 

One piece of advice for the day is to make sure you take a makeup bag for touch ups before the Reception and try to have your hair done a couple of times in trials before the big day. Looking back at photos from the evening, I was a little upset that I didn’t have my stuff with me to re-apply and re-do my hair.

Oh and one last thing – have fun and soak up every little moment… I haven’t had a happier day in my life … the memories are just gorgeous to replay in my head”

Flowers & Styling

Keeping with a more classic and timeless look Floral Accents, the couples florist created a whimsical arbor of foliage where the couple would say their I do’s. Fresh white blooms teamed with foliage would be the look that carried throughout the day, from bouquets and table settings to the cake.

Sentimental touches

Their rings were kept in a bag Cameron’s late grandmother had sewn. When it came time for the rings, Cameron’s father passed their rings to Brianna’s grandparents who ‘warmed’ the rings before the couple exchanged them. It meant a lot to the couple to involve the grandparents in such a beautiful way.

Single Soul Photography kept the mood fun on the day capturing cute and quirky memories the couple could look back on and smile at.

The cake!

A semi naked cake was the design of choice. We coupled this with fresh flowers sourced by Floral Accents which we hand wired on site to create a free flowing arrangement which mirrored the venues styling. We coupled this with one of our vintage stands which created a little more height and elegance.

Chocolate coconut and Lamington were the couples favourite flavours and we layered this alternatively throughout the cake having the exterior of the cake peaking through to give that exposed look.

Words of advice from the Bride

This day is about the two of you!!! Make sure you celebrate in your own way.

We had many friends tell us that between greeting your guests and all the formalities, they felt like they hardly saw their partners on their wedding day. With this in mind, we chose several songs that no matter what we were doing, when the song played we would run to the dance floor. We made the decision to spend our night dancing together and with our loved ones… and we did!

Meet Sarah and Sean. Loved up since they locked eyes at basketball training during their adolescence youth. Ahh.. young love! Fast track to the present where they are both playing in puddles at the gorgeous Yering Station Winery about to exchange their I Do’s and enjoy one hell of a party.

The styling brief was simple, romantic rustic chic. If that wasn’t a term it now should be. The couple wanted their styling choices to reflect the feel of the venue. Bringing in cascading flower and foliage installations with romantic blush and burgundy tones. The team at Sassafras Flower Design nailing the brief.

The little modern touches sprinkled throughout the day helped refine the styling brief so it didn’t get too “swing your partner round and round” rustic. If you know what I mean. The geometric arbor, white linen/ black chairs and fondant marble wedding cake really took things up a notch creating a classic look which will last a couple of decades.

Now, a wedding wouldn’t be complete without the sentimental touches that make the day as special as it should be.

SOMETHING OLD; A little silver diamond trinket (pictured below) that used to be belong to Sarah’s grandmother that sadly couldn’t attend the day

SOMETHING NEW; A stunning Martina Liana wedding dress of course!

SOMETHING BORROWED; A pair of silver diamond earings also being to Sarah’s Grandmother.

SOMETHING BLUE; A simple navy blue ribbon wrapped around the bridal flower bouquet

The cake!

Last but not least was the cake. We briefly spoke about it’s fondant marble finish which created a refined classic look, and we coupled this with elements of 21K champagne gold foil. Freshly wired flowers tied the whole look together blending seamlessly in with the whole space.

The bottom tier of this cake was fake as the couple didn’t require as much cake on the day. This didn’t stopped Sarah though from eating the delicious sweet fondant on the car trip home the next day. Now that’s taking ‘enjoy every last mouthful’ literally, but we love it!

Words of wisdom from the Bride

“The greatest words of wisdom I could give would be to take a few short moments during the course of the day to allow yourself to feel present in the moment and absorb the experience. The day itself can feel quite overwhelming with organising suppliers, mingling with guests and stressing that everything will run smoothly, so it’s important to stop, breathe and reflect. Even if it’s only for a few minutes to take in a beautiful view or share a few intimate moments with your partner.”

Their venue along with their love story is a modern day fairy tale. Meeting on Tinder just over 6 years ago their relationship started like so many others. Swiping right, many texts back and forth and then FINALLY organising that very first date.

Oh course, as with so many fairy tales things don’t always go smoothly. With a date secured, but no confirmation from Monty what was a girl to do? Stay at home in her PJ’s of course! Meanwhile Monty was waiting at their date location texting Tennille on her ETA. [Turns out Monty wasn’t the greatest at texting- even to this day!]. With the world’s quickest costume change, Tennille was up and out the door to what was the first day of the rest of their lives together.

With any modern love story comes the day you gather all your loved ones around and celebrate. You celebrate your love as a couple and the love you have for friends and family. Although not necessarily celebrating in a traditional sense Tennille, Monty and their family did want to honor the memory of those that couldn’t be there. Engagement rings owned by her Gran and Nanna were gifted from Tennille’s parents on the day for her to wear. Along with a gold bangle engraved with “The Captain and Tennille” in memory of her big brother Westley, who passed away several years ago.

Monty also surprised her with a gorgeous antique locket [pictured below], complete with a picture of her big brother. They were able to wrap it around the stems of her bouquet so that he was with her all day.

With traditional touches and dream wedding vendors behind them Monty and Tennille’s wedding flowed seamlessly. The industrial minimalist vibes of @eventseastelevation set the scene with the team @flos.botanical.studio softening the space for a more intimate setting.

Cascading vases of lush pink and caramel toned blooms flourished on the tables and walls. The colour pallet tying in seamlessly with the rough brick walls and exposed timber beams. Elements of copper, ceramic and wood also helped tie the look together creating a classic yet also modern feel.

Then came the cake! Last, but certainly not least. Pavlova, dark chocolate and raspberry were the flavours of choice. The cake styling team here @boutiquecakeart helped Monty and Tennille tie in all the aspects of their styling on the day to create this beauty. It’s base was an ivory smooth frosting for a classic look with freshly wired blooms and foliage to create a natural and organic feel.

The team here look at all aspects of your wedding to help create a piece that reflects your personality and style.

The cake, for Monty and Tennille, provided an opportunity to sit down together at the end of the night and reflect on the day, whilst watching their guests party.

The most amazing wedding team!

A perfect summer’s day on the hills of the Peninsula was definitely a scene setting moment for a romance that started just a few years before at a mutual friends party. Ben had asked Greta to visit a restaurant he was working at and after sending her lots of free food, he finally asked her out.

On their first date, when Ben went to the bathroom, Greta paid the bill!  When he texted his friend to tell him Greta had paid for dinner, his friends response was “MARRY HER”.

The colour palette and styling was a classic and perfectly obvious choice given the coastal feel of the venue. The couple had a marquee sitting amongst rolling fields, filled with vases of wildly arranged florals by the team @thestudiobyfleur in pastel peach and pink tones, powder blue crisp linen tablecloths and Bentwood chairs.

Tying in this coastal vibe was important when styling the couples cake. Powder blue, although an unconventional colour palette for a wedding, was really striking against the flower design which flowed up the bottom two tiers. Each flower touching another, almost resembling a lattice look, with an edible pearl sitting in the centre of each flower.

As a final touch and to create a little extra height to the cake we arranged a halo of wild flowers between the top and second tier. These florals were individually wired and arranged to reflect the table arrangements and brides bouquet.

Also important was what was inside the cake. After all it’s what’s inside that counts, right? The couple chose our classically moist chocolate cake with layers of gooey chocolate ganache. This beauty definitely looks sweet and innocent, but all those layers of ganache are devilish!

Parting advice from Greta herself,

“Make sure you get to eat the cake! Enjoy the day as it goes by so fast, and remember even if everything goes wrong if you’re there with the right person nothing is wrong ”

Flowers & Styling

The styling was simple and suited the rustic charm of the venue. Trestle tables lined with gum and candle light created a whimsical feel whilst the native bouquets and cake flowers supplied by Debbie O’Neil helped bring a little of the outside in.

The Cake!

A traditional cake with a twist. The herringbone detail we created on this cake really turned a traditional 3 tier wedding cake into a feature. Ivory on ivory meant that the light would hit the detailing in all the right places for a subtle effect. We then teamed the design with natives supplied by the couples florist Debbie O’neil to tie together their overall look.

Advice from the Bride

“Enjoy your amazing day and take a moment to sit, breathe and look around at all the guests celebrating your special day. I did this, and the joy I got from seeing the laugher, mingling and dancing of all my family and freinds was priceless. “

We just loved creating Kaitlyn and Luke’s trio of wedding cakes. We don’t often get involved in flower arranging, but in this case we couldn’t resist. Arbor, flower pins and table arrangements are by mwah. Yes! This is the one and only time I get involved in flower arranging. Hats off to you florists out there. Bouquet however was by @goodgraceandhumour, as I’m not that talented.

Burgundies, pinks and purples were on the cards. We brought these onto the cake, because fresh flowers on cake is where it’s at!

We then worked in a similar flower print onto the 2 tier cake using edible wallpaper. Our fav!

All and all one of my favourite weddings to be apart of. Shout out to @farmvaganoweddings for the most amazing venue. I had the opportunity to stay for this wedding and the food was out of this world.

We never tire designing semi naked cakes with fresh flowers. Especially natives. Every cake although technically the same has it’s own stamp and character. I like to think it reflects each couples personality.

Cake guts is Salted caramel, because obvious choice!
