Dark Wood Furniture and styling was provided by Borrow My Bits who created styling in luxe tones, of Red, Brass, Bronze and Golds.  The shoot standout was the decedent table setting complete with suspended chandeliers from the fig tree on the new deck at the tea house and under the table was a quirky touch of a cow hide mat. Ebony from Mackay Wedding Flowers creating enchanting blooms for the three separate bridal bouquets which worked perfectly with the individuality of each gown, and also decorated the fig tree within in the setting with moss and orchids adding to the whimsical effect.

The illuminated letting was provided by Light Up Letters Mackay, these letters give a personalised touch to your special event with any letter of the alphabet being able to be hired. They also brought along an invaluable smoke machine which helped created the mystical fog captured in a number of the photos.
