Backyard party

Last weekend, as the threat of a cyclone on Perth dominated the news we had the pleasure of setting up a 21st Birthday Party. It was meant to be an outdoor backyard party, but as the weather set in we had to improvise. Luckily for the birthday girl the threat of wild weather disappeared.

Here are some photo's of our improvised transformation of a veranda. Lit up at night this looked fantastic.

Colour inspiration

Lately we've stumbled across many wonderful ideas while doing research for our events. These photo's are just some that are inspiring us to experiment with different or lots of colours. These beautiful images are from across the world, from very talented people, and we want to share them with you.

Winter wedding alternative

While you might think its crazy thinking about winter during these long hot summers days, it is something that we have started to look towards. Winter is normally the slow season for weddings, and with that dip in demand so does the costs associated with weddings. 

A winter wedding can be just as magical, and just as romantic as a spring or summer wedding, but you can save some real money.

Here's some details we've been loving from Martha Stewart Weddings Winter Issue, and some other earthy and comforting tones, you might like at your own winter wedding.

Summer Beach Wedding

This wedding was reception was held at Salt on the Beach in North Fremantle. It was decorated in summer colours, with fruit instead of flower for the centre pieces.

Dear Michael, Eldred & Elysium Team,

We just wanted to send out a huge thank you for the wonderful job you did on

our wedding decorations and table arrangements. They looked spectacular and

really transformed the Novotel Langley into a fairy tale setting for us.

A monster post

Ok, so we've been very naughty regarding the updates of our blog this last month. So today I have a monster of a post with various ceremonies and receptions for you to have a look at.

Our first off the roll is a reception held at Acqua Vita on the Swan. A modern reception, with clean lines and crisp white.

Next up is a ceremony held at Heathcote Reserve in Applecross. This is a very popular location for ceremonies. But I do have to warn you about the problems with wind that occur occasionally. Luckily on this day the wind was down and the sun was shining. 

Our next ceremony was held at Pier 21in Fremantle. In these photo's it almost looks like a tropical getaway thanks to the palm trees. 

And for our final location we have the Red Herring Restaurant in East Fremantle. This one is actually of two separate functions. The first, the silver and pink. The second only 1 photo of the light box and ottomans. I wanted to put in a photo of the light box as it shows something a little different, and I think its really effective.
