Candice & Christopher

Okay so this has taken a long time to post so sorry about that. This is my sister Candice's Winter Wedding held in July of this year! The ceremony was on the lawn at Newstead House, and the reception was an intimate dinner at the Emporium Hotel.
Above is Candice's bouquet, designed to compliment her incredible dress and below is the bridesmaid's posy.
We worked with some very talented people throughout the day and I have to highly recommend to you Donna Sullivan Hair & Makeup http://www.makeup.net.au/bridal-hair-makeup.aspx Donna is absolutely at the top of her game, a delight to work with and is an amazing artist.  
As you can see, colours for the day were all shades of lucious pinks; pale pretty pinks and creams for the bride, hot pinks, deep maroons and reds for elsewhere.
Wrist corsages for the special girlfriends who got ready with us on the day.
We set up an afternoon tea table at the ceremony for the guests, and a 'Cheese' cake was Candice's surprise gift to Chris on the day (Cheese is his favourite!) 
Candice's dress was spectacular, a true work of art that reflected her vivacious personality and fantastic sense of style perfectly, it was custom made by Helena Karkovic of Helena Courture Designs http://www.amoresque.com.au/ 
 
Bombonieres were little cubes of fudge, individually boxed, labelled and ribboned!

We had two long tables for dinner, each table had a striking black and white table runner with a bold geometric design - we sourced this fabric and had a friend sew the runners. This contrasted beautifully with the organic abundant bowls of flowers scattered along the full length of the tables. We styled to create a glamorous evening event with impact, the dinner was held in a large room and we felt we needed a strong focal point, so lots of flowers and bold colours were in order!  Mercury glass tea light holders were scattered between. Feel free to hire these from me anytime! And I have plenty of glass bowls in varying sizes too!
