Brides men and Page boy

Flower girl

Black magic roses from Sydney. Helen from Jumping Jonquils (9201 1683) was amazing to work with. She takes huge pride in her work and her flowers were magnificent.

Church flowers

The happy couple and pss... they are sooo in love with each other.

Reception was at the Celtic Club. Great food and the service was fantastic. Thank you John Dixon!
Trust me, when I left it was empty!

Of course the cake was from Kakes by Karen.

This is the Lady who created magic with her fingers. She sewed non-stop for 6 months. A truly inspiring Lady. There were no patterns - everything was created from her imagination.
It was a full on day and I had little time to take photos. Daniel and Morgan from Shadowcast Images did and I will share them with you soon. Two very talented guys easy going and terrific to work with. Mike from Demic Video was the Videographer for the day.

When I hold the budgets for my clients I see where the couple distributing their money.
50% of the budget is eaten up by the food and drinks for the reception.
Good food is fantastic and plenty of drinks is without a question, but please entertain your guests.
Don’t overlook the impact that entertainment will have on your guests. Be creative!

To start with, choose a great MC. He/she should be well prepared and have the knowledge of the timeline for reception. He/she should effectively direct the pacing and flow of the events.

Do play some unique games – search the internet for them. DJ’s can often help you with that.
Find those hidden talents in your family – may be some one can do some card tricks or would like to sing a song karaoke style.
Hire a floor show from an agency. Dancers performing a tango or some fire throwers.

Keep your guests involved and entertained and you and your guests will remember your wedding day forever!

BBC Entertainment might give you some inspirations.

Recently I had the pleasure in working with Samm Blake. A young, beautiful and Oh! so talented photographer. I envy her for her never ending energy, which she needs as she is immensely popular.
