Weddings

Your wedding is an experience. A celebration of a lifetime.

We know that you have a unique story to share with us. So, we want to help guide you with that, translating your vision, and above all, creating a stress-free wedding planning journey.

Working with a wedding planner is an incredibly personalised service, tailored to suit you and your partner’s requirements. This is the reason why we only work with a handful of couples each year.

It is our responsibility to help you:

  • Save time
  • Manage your financials
  • Build a vision
  • Source and book in your dream vendors
  • Coordinate the day/days

The beauty about us too, is that work with people of all background and love celebrating couples and persons across all genders, race, religion, or appearance.

How does your wedding experience begin?

Let’s hop on a call and get to know a bit about each other. It’s important for Poonam to truly understands your needs and requirements for your wedding and at the end of the day, we both need to feel comfortable working with each other.

From here, we’ll work on a detailed proposal tailored for you and your partner which will outline the full terms and structure. Once you’re happy to move forward with Poonam, we make it a point to meet and learn more about your dream wedding vision. From the look and feel to location and financials. We must build that trust very early on in the wedding planning journey.

To learn more about the different services we offer, please kindly keep reading below.

Full Planning

If you are truly feeling overwhelmed or time poor, you may need guidance with all the finer details of your wedding, then you need to consider hiring a professional to handle your wedding planning.

The Process
Following the initial consultation, we’ll send across the proposal. Once we get you all signed up, we’ll meet and work on building a vision for your wedding that reflects the both of you.

We’ll spend some time learning more about each other and tailor the events to suit your tastes. Here’s where we also make it a point to outline every single task, from choosing your wedding venue to booking in your dream wedding vendors to finalizing the accommodation for your wedding night.
In the months leading up to your wedding especially, we will handle all the details that you don’t want to think about such as,

  • Venue site visits
  • Drawing up floor plans
  • Coming up with a runsheet
  • Locking in appointments with your vendors
  • Ensuring that your vendors understand the scope of their work
  • Styling
  • Scheduling menu tastings
  • Assistance with wedding shopping, including your outfits and favours
  • On the day management

We understand there’s a lot going on for you, between work, life, and wedding planning, so another important detail we manage is your time and communication.

Time is precious, so Poonam wants to ensure that she’s flexible and whether that’s over email, phone or in person, we’re there for you. Majority of your wedding planning tasks are completed during business hours, but meetings can be scheduled in after hours and some weekends.

Vendor Selection

In terms of working with creatives, we only match you with the best of the best in this industry and those of course who love what they do!

Poonam has spent years building lost-lasting relationships with creatives based in Australia and the world. When you start working with her, you’ll understand that she takes this aspect of your wedding planning incredibly seriously. Therefore, she’ll be a part of every meeting.

These meetings are a golden opportunity for us to capture all the high-level details of your wedding.

Of course, if there’s somebody we are yet to work with, then that’s totally fine. Happy to get to know them, ensuring that they’re a good fit for you and us and are fully committed to ensuring you have the perfect wedding celebration.

Financials

You may notice that we don’t specifically outline numbers here because your wedding is unique to you as a couple. What one bride or groom likes is very different to another.

We completely understand though. Your wedding is an investment, which is why we will sit down with you early in the wedding journey to determine what is important to you.

Important for all couples to understand that pricing is all dependent on the location, venue, guest numbers, food and beverage style and overall design.

Styling

You’ve booked your venue and your vendors and have that mood board ready! Congratulations! Now it’s time to build the vision and execute all the styling elements for your wedding.

The initial style consult begins with a call to understand you and your style personality. It’s time for us to see those Pinterest and Instagram images, so that we can best fulfil the requirements of your dream wedding vision. We’ll then walk you through our design process and how we work with a team of creatives to build the vision.

Upon booking, we will begin by putting the concept together with our creative partners. When you’re happy to move forward, we’ll create a look that best fits your vision and budget.

The next step is to lock in all the design elements. We will consult your venues and the vendors involved and provide regular monthly progress updates.

On the day itself, we look after the styling aspect only and ensure this is smooth and efficient.

Don’t want full styling services from us? No stress. We do also offer “petite styling” services such as creating a design brief or on the day table styling.

Get ready to be inspired by the top 5 wedding styling trends of 2024. 

Enchanting Botanical Installations: Bring the outdoors in with stunning botanical installations. From hanging floral chandeliers to lush greenery against walls or fireplaces, these natural elements create a whimsical and romantic atmosphere.

Modern Minimalism: Embrace the beauty of simplicity with modern minimalist decor. Clean lines, neutral colours, and streamlined details create an elegant and contemporary aesthetic that is both timeless and sophisticated.

Sustainable Styling: Eco-conscious weddings are on the rise, and sustainability is making its mark on wedding decor. Opt for reusable, biodegradable, and locally sourced materials to reduce waste and create an eco-friendly celebration.

It’s alright to have a little “treat yourself” day every now and again, right? 

Indulge in luxury and let the journey begin! 

A few weeks ago, the lovely Fatema of @the_chairoom and I were treated like royalty as we had the super cool James of @blackcabcentral chauffeur us to an exquisite afternoon tea experience at @langhamsydney. From the elegant ride along Sydney harbour, to the delightful delicacies, every moment was an incredible experience. 

We also had the super cute Liebling accompany us. 🐶

Don’t you just love traditional dance performanc Don’t you just love traditional dance performances at a wedding? 

Birde, Priya and her family put on a fabulous and vibrant dance show at her Sangeet party last year in Melbourne. 

The sangeet party was a magnificent showcase of beautiful, energetic, and traditional Indian dance performances. The twirls, beats, and colourful outfits created an electrifying atmosphere. So much joy and energy in their performances. Join us in reliving the magic of this celebration! 🎉💃🕺
