Venue: Millbrook Winery: 

The venue, along with Angela was beyond perfect. So easy to deal with and nothing was to much trouble. We truly cannot find one fault from Millbrook from our special day & the food is to die for.

Video: Moonlight films

Highly recommend, our wedding film is just perfect. We have lost count how many times we have watched it.

The Mighty Booth’s 

These guys were great, nothing was too much trouble.

Absolutely nothing at all was too much trouble for you, and your pre wedding advice was second to none.

You really put 110% into your work and ensuring that we had the best day.

Thank you for everything.

We cannot recommend you enough to other brides and grooms.

It will be the quickest day ever!

So Breathe, take a moment with your now husband to take it all in, then go enjoy that champagne and dance!

My wedding blog

It was pretty easy for me to choose my suppliers as most of them I have been recommending to my couples for years! And then there were a few newbies like the fudge that I just stumbled across and decided I must have!

Invitations and signs:

Our super cute invitations and signs were made by the wonderful and talented Angela from Butterfly days

Hair pieces, Veil, Robes and Garter:

Loved by Ella, what can I say about one of the best businesses in Perth! My other business hee hee. But seriously, we have great stuff, check us out ; )

Dress:

As some of you know the dress was my most difficult thing, I ended up buying 3! The first one was just too tight around my tummy, and with so much good food I didn’t want to be sucking in all day haha. The second one was actually fine but my kids freaked out as it was low cut! The third one was juuuust riiiiiight : ) The places I would recommend here are LDN bridal and Dion for Brides

Make up:

I was so happy with my make up and it lasted all day and night! Creations by Kassy

Hair:

My hair was great to start with but I got rained on pretty much straight away so don’t judge my hair! These guys are amazing and my daughters hair was incredible. Bride and groomed

Suits:

I highly recommend these guys, they are so so so helpful and have a great range to buy or hire! Penguins formalwear

Florist:

Every bride I have had that has used this amazing florist has absolutely loved their flowers, and I was no different! I gave Nicky my colour scheme and budget and she went nuts, it was perfect. Sweet Floral

Celebrant:

Luke is legit the best celebrant, do yourself a favour and book him in asap! Luke FIrth

Photobooth and live ceremony music:

Envy event group are an amazing group of DJ’s and musicians definitely a must have!

DJ:

The man with the sparks, the dance floors, the clouds and the music, Jason offers a crazy cool DJ experience. Dream wedding entertainment

Luxury Loos:

Luxury Loos – the name says it all!

 

Stylist:

Wedding magic have everything you could possibly need to make your wedding super pretty! All styles and really affordable, I highly recommend them.

On the day coordinator:

want a stress free wedding? Do yourself a favour and hire Jorja from Scarlett Events to take care of everything so you don’t have to!

Magician:

So if you have been to a wedding recently you will know that as a guest there are random downtimes where it can get a little boring. Entertain your guests with the most amazing close up magic, so much fun! Paul James.

Artist:

 Seriously check this chick out Cassandra artist

Venue ceremony:

The amazing Caversham house

Venue reception:

The stunning Brookleigh estate

Food:

Fire and Flour – amazing pizza

RoyAls – no need for an introduction, THE BEST BURGERS IN PERTH

Satay Kings – Amazing satay boats and curry puffs

Dessert:

Jayleas Patisserie -This is my local bakery, the make the best pies ever, we decided not to have pies at the wedding but they also do the best desserts!

Spirals cinnamon – I must admit I got a little obsessed with these guys, not ideal when you are trying to lose a couple of kilos before the wedding but dammmmn they are good

Floss and popcorn supply company – seriously, you want this at your wedding, your guests will rave!

Jessikat Kakes – I am all about the taste but she also makes epic looking cakes too!

Fudge affairs – Freakin fudge! It was so popular!

Drinks:

Caravan and tonic and the Freo Doctor are the perfect combo for your drinks! Highly recommend them both, they did an amazing job, especially with how many guests we had!

Photographer:

Ella Otranto photography did an amazing job! Hee hee. My assistants shot my wedding, I tried not to be bossy but you guys know me, so a huge thank you to Liz, Caitlin and Dave, who did an amazing job! And to my editors who know me so well and what I want!

Videographer:

Moonlight films, again I have been recommending these guys for years, they are exceptional!

 

And lastly I would like to say a big thank you to everyone for coming and braving the rain to make a our special day perfect!

Tips for future brides

Plan your wedding to perfection, then about a week before the wedding let it all go. Does it matter if it rains? Not really. Does it matter if your wishing well doesn’t get put out and you end up with a table full of cards? Not really. Does it matter that you wore your black boots instead of your Jimmy Choos? Not really. What matters is it was the best day ever, because you married the love of your life. And even if 5 things go wrong, it means that the other 105 went right!

Tips for Future Brides

Take in every single moment! 

From the start of the day to the last minute. It’s the most incredible day of your life.

Don’t sweat the small stuff on the big day! 

It’s generally too late for you to make any changes, the guests won’t know any different and will not even notice.

Be organized early!

My favourite part of the morning was being able to enjoy a glass of champagne with my best girls before walking down the aisle instead of running around like a headless chook.

Spend alone time with your husband after the ceremony!

You and your husband will have all your favourite people in one place which means being super busy socializing. Nothing was better than leaving the bridal party behind heading to the beach and spending half an hour with my new husband before heading back for the reception. Take some time out together to take in the day!

Tips for Other Couples

There are 2 pieces of advice we feel like we can give couples. Firstly, as crazy as the lead up to your big day is, try as much as possible to make sure you are not running around like crazy on your actual day. We had a wedding that started at 4pm. We woke up, had some breakfast with our I DO CREW, casually started hair and make-up, finalised our speeches and had some time for some beautiful moments with our mums and besties before the pace of the day took over. You will get to a point when you physically don’t think you can add anything else onto your plate – it’s full – but push through that, do what needs to be done and then sit back and enjoy the moments. Obviously a kick-ass I DO CREW, a killer EVENT PLAN and a massive TO-DO LIST will help with getting things done! Secondly, thank the people who helped make the day possible. REALLY thank them! As much as the day is about you – without their kindness, love and support, your day wouldn’t happen!”

Tips for Future Brides

“My advice for any bride is most importantly, to be organized. Keep everything in a file and make sure you print all of your receipts to keep track of everything. It’s also super important to look around, don’t just go with the first person you get a quote from. Weddings are expensive so shop around and get lots of quotes before making a final decision. When it comes to music it’s super important to spend a lot of time on this. Music can either make or break a wedding. Take the time to do a list for the night. Break it down into two sections, an “eating dinner” list and a “party” list. This will ensure that all genres of music is covered for the night so everyone will be up on the dance floor partying the night away. Lastly, just relax and enjoy your day and night. Everything will fall into place exactly how it’s meant to.”
