SAY CHEESE IN OUR PHOTOBOOTHS!

A Darling Affair 06/01/2015 0 Comments

Who doesn’t love a good photo booth at a wedding!? They create an electric and super fun atmosphere and really help to get your guests unwinding and having a great time. Plus as an added bonus you get yourselves a copy of all the hilarious photos that have been taken in the booth that night. It’s a no brainer for us – we LOVE photo booths and take every opportunity we get to stick our heads in there and get some printed photos as a keepsake.

We’ve nailed down some awesome photo booths for our upcoming Brisbane Fair – take a look at what you’re in for!

THE PHOTO BOOTH GUYS

The Photo Booth Guys provide the most awesome photo booth experience with fresh backdrops, kickass props, amazing customer service and quality in absolutely everything they do…who doesn’t want that?! Their booths all have their own hilarious personalities and love to be the life of the party.

Their first ever photo booth was Max Power… a new take on the classic photo booth. From there, the path to world domination was set by adding Betty B, John Wilkes and Walt Jnr along with their English cousins Patty, Selma and Max Jnr. The Photo Booth Guys are now in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and London.

THE PHOTO BOOTH COLLECTIVE

The Photo Booth Collective is a newbie on the photo booth scene! It’s the brain child of super amazing photographers When Elephant Met Zebra (so you just know these images are going to be amazing quality!).

These guys provide super fun, stylish, fully open air photo booths for your next event. Their range of backdrops and props is also freakin amazing – trust us you will love them!

FLASHPOD PHOTO BOOTH

Flashpod Photo Booth is a husband and wife team and was born from a desire to create a sophisticated and sleek photo booth in an ingenious curved design. They wanted to create something that would fit elegantly within the surroundings of the gorgeous venues in Brisbane and beyond – and we think they nailed it!

These guys offer unlimited (and customised!) instant prints, guest book options, colour and B&W photos, props, social media integration, array of backgrounds, live view slide show and a USB of all images (oh, and the best darn photo booth attendants from here to Tumbuctoo!).

FOR THE STATIONERY ADDICTS!

A Darling Affair 05/01/2015 0 Comments

We are the first to admit our sometimes unhealthy addiction to stationery. It’s so beautiful and precise and don’t you just love the feel of gorgeous paper and card between your fingers!?

Luckily we’ve sourced some of the best to display their finest wares at our Brisbane Fair. We’re excited to introduce you to some of them right now!

BLUSHING CONFETTI

Ellen is self confessed paper addict (especially of the confetti kind). After getting married in 2013, she knew she had found her calling of creating beautiful stationery. She fell in love with the simplicity and nostalgia of printing techniques and wanted to bring some love back to this art form.

Blushing Confetti offer bespoke wedding stationery, wooden stamps, art prints and other papery goodness. They are known for their design aesthetic of bold but simple designs. They are perfectionists, lovers of detail and believers in quality over quantity. The best part of all? They promise lots of confetti. And we love confetti.

ELLY HARTLEY DESIGNS

Elly is a relative newcomer to the Wedding Industry having just launched Elly Hartley Designs in 2014. In that short time she has already been nominated as an Etsy Design Awards Finalist for “New Talent”, so we knew we just had to snap up this new talent for our fair.

Elly doesn’t follow trends, she creates what she thinks is beautiful and hopes that others find it beautiful too. She prides herself on offering high quality designs to suit every budget and is just about as lovely as they come!

CHASE THE SUN DESIGNS

Justine from Chase The Sun Designs has ALWAYS been passionate about beautiful stationery, lettering and design. She bought her first pen and ink pot in 2011 and has been madly in love ever since.

Chase The Sun Designs offers bespoke calligraphy for all stationery requirements along with chalkboard and other signage. Each design is a special, one of a kind piece crafted with love and fun!

Make sure you come along to meet this talented Stationers (and more!) at our Brisbane Fair!

MADE WITH LOVE CUSTOM WEDDING CREATION

Chris and Harmonie were planning their wedding and searched and searched for vendors all over Australia to see if anyone could provide what we were after – an exploding house ceremony backdrop.

PERFECT MATCH – SPEED DATE A CELEBRANT!

A Darling Affair 26/12/2014 0 Comments

LAMSON – MARRIAGE CELEBRANT

Every couple has a different tale to tell about how they met and how they fell in love. Lamson has never heard the same love story twice, and each story seems to him as grand and as epic as the last. Becoming a marriage celebrant was actually his wife’s idea, but it’s given Lamson the privilege of being able to listen to and share a person’s greatest love story, and in that endeavour, he gets to tell a great love story that will be bookmarked for the ages.

Lamson performs wedding ceremonies, commitment ceremonies and renewal of vows for couples madly in love the world over.

ERIN WOODHALL CELEBRANT

Erin loves weddings! She loves the energy of the day, the excitement and the anticipation waiting for the bride to walk down the aisle. Pre ceremony people tend to mill about waiting for direction; post ceremony everyone becomes pals. Weddings bring people together – Erin loves being a part of that.

Erin will marry you – not only that; she will do it your way. Whatever you want for your ceremony – she’ll make it happen. Erin knows that her job is to make it memorable, fun and authentic.

For her being a celebrant doesn’t feel like a “business” and is lucky to work with brilliant couples and often by the time their wedding day comes around, Erin feels as if she’s marrying friends.

WEDDINGS BY POPULAR DEMAND

Over years of working weddings as a superstar bridal hairdresser Alana has come to love playing a small role in many awesome wedding celebrations. So much so that she decided she needed to find a way to get a bigger slice of the action.

Alana says it was brought to her attention that past bridal parties and current friends and family think I’m funny, entertaining, upbeat, well spoken, obsessively enthusiastic about weddings and last but not least. Have legs that look great in a cocktail frock.

So there you go, Alana had no other choice than to become a celebrant.

Come to The Brisbane Wedding Fair to speed date these vibrant celebrants and find your perfect match!

Grab your tickets online HERE and we’ll see you at the Fair xx
