Watsons Bay White Wedding - The Reception

 Following drinkies on the lawn, the guests mozied across the road to the Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel for Dinner & Dancing.  I was in awe of the recent refurbishment of the hotel! Gorgeous open floorplan, white walls, dark floorboards, stunning lighting and most importantly some of the best views of Sydney!  We had a great space to work with so just some simple touches worked wonders!  We put up our seating plan & easel at the entrance, laid the table with personalised menus to match invites, a placecard worked as a little favour - macarons in a glass jar tied with their name in ribbon.  Each table was overflowing with the most amazing flower arrangements.....mixed glass jars of dusty millers, soft roses, huge dahlias.  We also scattered flowers in jars around blank walls and the bathrooms.  lots of tealight candles to light up the room when the guests arrived and a gorgeous antique suitcase painted white as the wishing well.  We moved our personalised blackboard sign over from the Ceremony as a nice entrance at the Reception and left full of happiness with our styling and the magical night the newlyweds had in front of them. 

Watsons Bay White Wedding - Ceremony

 The most picture perfect Sydney day for Jodie & Petes' White Wedding at Watson Bay on the weekend!

We hung a gorgeous wreath personalised with their names on the huge tree where their nuptials took place.  A huge white sheet draped over branches made a gorgeous backdrop overlooking the water to the harbour and Stunning Sydney views!  Simple white chairs (with a vase of flowers hanging over the edge to distinguish the aisle), signing table with more dusty millers, roses, dahlias (which you will see more of in the Reception photos).  A little table set up for the entrance with lovely details of books, bone china and Ceremony programmes.  After the 'I Do's' The guests could mingle with a glass of fresh lemonade or water from our cannisters at the drinks station which we draped in pastel tassels.  So pretty, so simple, so white...more to come of the amazing Reception at The Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel. 

Personalised Candy

 Whats better than having your own goodie bag full of rock candy?....When its personalised with the Bride & Grooms name!  A cute little touch for Jose & Dayna's Wedding. 

Wedding Wine Charms

Gorgeous little Wine Charms we made for a Wedding last weekend.  Such a cute way to combine place card/cocktail theme...but most importantly never lost your drink! 

Waterfront Wedding

 The sun came out for Victoria & Andy's gorgeous Waterfront Wedding on Sunday.  The Sugarcoated girls both agreed that a little white and a touch of flowers makes the world of difference! We did however incorporate some gorgeous lace umbrellas, bunting and Festoon Lights to create the party atmosphere.  The location was idyllic down by the water in the Sutherland Shire watching the boats pass by....We made a floating Wreath for the pool,  a lace Arch for the I Do's, a Welcome sign for the guests, set the tables with personalised menus &  gorgeous pink & white roses and hydranges + a sprinkling of rose petals on the grass....A few special touches to transform the backyard wedding into a gorgeous White Wonderland.

Garden Wedding by the Bay

The sun was shining for a gorgeous bride at Hardy's Bay on the Weekend.  Nuptials took place on the front lawn of her parents house under floating burlap bunting, gorgeous big balloons and a lovely twig and floral wreath at the end of the alter.  The Bride & Grooms 2 little girls were flower girls with their cousins as Page boys....who then scurried up to the cubby house as the gorgeous couple made their vows.
This was more of a relaxing day for the Sugarcoated girls as the bride and family did all the hard work, just hired out a few of our bentwood chairs and registry table and a few goodies for the Reception - see Hire page here...the celebrations carried on to Wagstaff Hall decorated in fairy lights and vintage touches and the definate talk of the night....the most amazing woodfired pizzas to hit the spot!  We loved the little vintage box of hanky's for "happy tears" and the kids carrying down the "last chance to run" sign...The groom definately hung around!

Abbey & Dean Wed

 A gorgeously soft colour palette for Abbey & Deans Wedding that took place on Friday. Following their promises being made at a Greek Church in Kingsford, the celebrations continued onto Centennial Parklands for drinks and nibbles on the lawn and then inside to the Sugarcoated room of prettiness....soft pastel flowers, white linen, twinkling tea light candles, hanging flower balls, giant white balloons, pearls and so many soft touches that warmed the room and personalised the celebrations.

The definate stand outs were the cake display on a gorgeous white dressing table with monogrammed mirror, baby's breath flowing out of drawers and simply the cake itself made by a member of the family.  Also the vintage windows on display as the seating directory - hand written in white on glass by Chief Sugarcoated herself!    We made menus to match Invitations, Table numbers & church programs, wrapped white paper doillies into cones and filled with paper confetti to throw at the newlyweds...  Boxed hundreds of gorgeous gold and white macarons personalised with a tag and lace as place cards for guests, sewed the long tulle bridal table cover to match with lace and pearls....too much gorgeousness but for a special couple who arrived on horse and cart, danced to "Time of my Life" from Dirty Dancing (not to mention some Greek dancing)a few speeches, kisses and are now Mr & Mrs Harriton.
