Country Elegance

Here is a little sneak peak of a wedding we are working on at the moment. Chantelle's elegant country wedding is going to look beautiful. We are tying in her love of gold into the styling with elegant touches. Chandeliers, vintage keys, gold photo frames and a delicious lolly bar are just a few of the sweet things we have in store for this wedding. Stay tuned for more gorgeousness...

Christmas Soiree

Here are some images from a table setting we designed for a intimate Christmas Eve Soiree. We wanted to steer away from the traditional Christmas green + red tones and infuse some more modern vibrant + rustic elements into the table setting. The yellow chevron runner + napkins + lemons added a modern twist. Whilst the silver accents gave the table a Christmas feel. And no table is complete without the traditional pine cone! We love this Christmas table setting!

Chair Obsession

If you have been following our FB page this week you will know that it's all about chairs this week at w+w! We have been revealing some of our favourite chairs each day along with styling tips and where you can find them. This weeks blog has been reserved for a very special piece...The Peacock Chair!

The Peacock Chair is one of the most ultimate staples of statement furniture with it's architectural scope and exquisite detail. The peacock's silhouette calls to mind glamourous visions of drinking Singapore Slings by the Raffles pool à la 1930's style. Theme your wedding with a wild-child 70's boho chic vibe and paint the chairs in beautiful sorbet colours inspiring stylish fairytale flare and luxe allure or characterise you moroccan style wedding with a natural cane chair against the delightful bold colours of tangerine, magenta, purple and metallics surrounded by moroccan motif patterns.

Peacock chairs can be used to style the registry signing area at your ceremony or the guest book area at the reception. Set in front of a sophisticated backdrop it could simply be used as a prop in your wedding photos or DYI photobooth.

Embrace the extravagance of this chair and ignite your imagination with this very sought after statement decor piece.

Fleur Wood's Food Fashion Friends book has some delicious visual inspiration for your eyes to feast on while the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of Vogue Living has an article on the Peacock chair showing the variety of materials now being used to create the chair against the ever expanding range of this style.

Real Wedding - Freya + Brendan

Nagomi was the home to Freya + Brendan's Asian inspired wedding in February this year. The riverside setting and the amazing Japanese food made for a magical evening.

The ceremony was held in front of the restaurant at Eagle St Pier overlooking the Brisbane River.

The ceremony included a special rope tying ritual. Thank you Sally for guiding the ceremony so beautifully.

Hundreds of origami cranes, folded by Freya and her girlfriends, featured throughout the reception styling.

The cherry blossom cake was a sweet touch to the asian theme. Made by Jade at Cakestar.

The Princess Party

w+w were lucky enough to be involved with the amazing Princess Party at Mirra, this year.

The Party, an initiative of the Amira Project (www.theamiraproject.com), was a night of inspiration, information and fun times designed to enhance the lives of young women at risk.

Here's what happened...

Once registered, the girls were all given balloons and ushered to the SHINE workshop. Here they were able to make friendship bracelets, write down their wishes and dreams and also messages of hope to girls living in the She Rescue Home in Cambodia.

Make-up and hair were on hand to get the girls looking fantastic for the night ahead.

The SHINE workshop concluded with a huge balloon release where each girl released their balloon with their dream attached.

The girls were then escorted to their seat by strapping young men, who also presented each of them with a flower.

The girls were then seated along beautiful vintage inspired long banquet tables for a scrumptious two course dinner.

During dinner the girls were serenaded by Scotty Fields and inspired by two wonderful speakers who uplifted and motivated them with their stories.

After dinner the girls partied away to Jamie Lee before all being given goody bags filled with an assortment of gifts as they left.

What an amazing night!

Thank you to our friends...Vintage Wares, Bouquet Boutique, Styled Events, Eyetopia Sound and Southern Cross for kindly donating your time and services. And of course all the volunteers on the night. Without your help none of this could have been possible.
