REAL EVENTS//103

There aren’t too many events that are as exciting as a proposal! excitement and love is in the air, inspiring electrifying styling opportunities.

Wedding Planner and Stylist, Liv Murray of Beneath The Blooms event styling was given the special task of creating a gorgeous rustic candlelit dinner for lovebirds, Luke and Alex. The evening’s surprise was set in a barn, on a hilltop in Camden. If a barn, on a hill, at sunset does not scream romance... I am not sure what does! We are giddy just thinking about it. After discovering a strategically placed letter, and then finding Luke on one knee to the tune of John Legend, it is no surprise that Alex said yes!

The evening was an immediate success (Who could say no!?). Like something out of a rustic fairytale, the scene was set with an abundance of elegant florals and greenery, paired perfectly with crisp white linen and silverware with a decadent chandelier as a finishing touch. Celebrations began with a delightful cheese platter and blueberry mojitos. The blissful evening was enjoyed under candlelight as the happy couple got to savour their moment, with a delish three course menu prepared by a local chef from one of their favourite restaurants- Salute Trattoria. Dessert made the occasion that much sweeter with a chocolate fondant cake from Adriano Zumbo. We couldn't be happier for this lovely pair!
