Real Wedding Story - Chantelle + Nick

By now you have most probably seen our high school sweethearts Chantelle + Nick's picnic style engagement shoot that we posted about on Facebook a few days ago so today we are finally giving you the visual feast from their wedding day. 

We first met Chantelle back in September of last year to talk about her ideas, inspirations and dreams for her big day. Chantelle came to us seeking help with pulling all of her ideas into a collective concept and on the day co-ordination. Chantelle had already chosen her colour palette of teal and gold with visions of lots of brightly coloured seasonal flowers and a vintage handmade style but she was finding it hard to individualise this theme from the already saturated vintage look. 

Being the very creative person that Chantelle is, it was very important to her to be hands on with a few DIY wedding projects as well as being able to incorporate the wealth of creative talent that surrounded her within her circle of close family and friends for all those personal, special and traditional touches.  We toyed around with different inspirations such as a whimsical secret garden wedding but in the end it was the venue itself that inspired the eventual design. 

The Historic Rivermill abundant with colonial period furnishings and machinery was the perfect backdrop for a country chic wedding.  After many weekends of terrible weather leading up to Chantelle + Nick's wedding day the skies cleared to reveal perfect weather for such a gorgeous couple and their wonderful families.  

We had the pleasure of meeting a strong contingent of Chantelle + Nick's immediate family and close friends the day before the wedding and I can't tell you how much fun we all had together, there was so much love, laughter and support for this special couple that I literally went home that night buzzing with happiness. 

Congratulations Chantelle + Nick we wish you all the very best for your future together.  It was an absolute pleasure to help bring your dream wedding to life and we'd also like to thank you as it is couples such as yourself which make it all worthwhile.

Real Wedding - Leonie + Greg

We brought the inside out for Leonie + Greg's european park inspired wedding. While living in Europe the couple fell in love with the beautiful Parks in London, Paris and all around Europe. The very talented Hollie Noonan worked with w+w and transformed this urban warehouse into a fun relaxed park feel reception.

w+w real weddings - wedding coordination + full planning

If you pick up the latest Discerning Bride magazine you will come across two of our weddings - Marie + Fabio and Cindi + David. Two very different style weddings however equally beautiful. We provided these couples with different planning services...

We come onboard at the later stages of Marie + Fabio's wedding as their Wedding Day Coordinator. This beautiful wedding was held at MODA Portside in September 2011 on the night of Riverfire. We helped them pull together their runsheet, tied up loose ends and were onsite on the day ensuring the room looked beautiful and the day ran smoothly.

Cindi + David's wedding held at the Topiaries at Beaumont, Stamford took on a 1920's Shanghai feel. We worked with Cindi + David from the very beginning. From finding the venue, getting them connected to the right wedding suppliers and being their on the day to ensure the day was seamless.

Great weddings and memories!

Real Wedding - Alisha + Matt

An amazing wonderland was created for Alisha + Matt's wedding reception back in early September. A mad hatter's theme prevailed as a surprise for the guests. The space was fun, colourful, interesting and exciting, while still creating a feel of romance.

A very special mention to Hollie Noonan for her brilliant design concepts.

Real Wedding - Olarne + Damian

A private ceremony was followed by a intimate dinner in the following weeks at Alchemy Restaurant for close family and friends. The guests were entertained by the beautiful sounds of Bre while watching a slide show of the couples private ceremony moments and sipping champagne under the stars. With an amazing dinner to follow, this was a wedding to remember!

Real Wedding - Mayumi + Steven

What to do with 1000 cranes?

It is good luck in the Japanese culture to fold 1000 cranes before your wedding day and that is exactly what Mayumi + Steven did!

These cranes formed a beautiful crane shower at the couple's wedding. Japanese was also infused in the bon bons. A beautiful Sake Box housed the yummy macaroon which were tied together by traditional Japanese ribbon.

The outdoor riverside ceremony and courtyard reception were filled with pretty vintage touches.

Enjoy...

Thank you to Karen Buckle Photography for these beautiful images and Kristy from Imbue for your florals and styling touches.

Real Wedding - Cath + David

w+w was lucky enough to assist Hollie Noonan Styling with Cathy + David's wedding. Splashes of vibrant colours, a signing canvas, mood lighting, a fun cake and trees transformed this warehouse into a fun vibrant space. We loved this wedding!
