Shelly & Dean
Three months before her wedding
day, Shelley was referred to us and,
after the initial shock of the time
frame wore off, we immediately
began with the planning of their
special day. We spent hours
getting to know the couple and
conceptualising their wedding
with them to make sure we had all
bases covered.
Hitting it off with the bride gave
Megan insight into her vision for
her special day, which is every
coordinator’s dream! Being such
a relaxed couple, they were not
at all worried about the ‘highmaintenance’ stuff - Shelly and
Dean wanted an eloquently
coordinated day without all the
fuss.
The
ceremony
incorporated
whitewashed
benches
and
neutral scatter cushions along
with colourful flowers that were
purposefully placed in large
terracotta pots on larger tree
trunk cut outs. Pre-dinner drinks
followed the same theme with
terracotta pots again giving a
homely, garden feel to the area.
The Creamery served their famous
ice-cream which was an absolute
hit and bubbly, accompanied by
canapés, were served whilst the
bridal couple had their photo’s
done.
Guests then moved over to
the reception area on the lawn
underneath an expansive Bedouin
tent. Pallet tables combined with
round tables were used as the
bride’s Father, being a traditionalist
wanted round tables and Shelley,
with a more modern eye, wanted
something different and opted for
the bare wood, rectangular tables.
Adding to the colourful décor, were
the handmade napkins, which
the bride made herself – all 160
of them! Name cards with quirky
dancefloor rules were perched on
the amber and pink water glasses
which greeted the guests at their
tables.
Throwing tradition to the wind,
delicious burgers with fries and
coleslaw were served as the main
course with gorgeous mini cakes
served as dessert along with the
most
impressive
cheesecake
created by a close friend of the
bride, Kate George.
Me and Mr Brown kept the guests
dancing from early in the evening
right until the very end even having
to throw in a couple of extra songs
as the guests had not had their
fill. Every guest left with big smiles
on their faces - we are sure that
they could have easily stayed until
sunrise had they had the chance.
