A Different Type of Wedding Planner

After working closely with a lovely couple of ours who had only 6 months to plan their wedding and with both of them working busy full time jobs, it opened our eyes to how many great contacts and relationships we have within the wedding industry!

So after considering how we could assist more couples like this, we are excited to launch…

>>> A Different Type of Wedding Planner <<<

Listening to the future Mr & Mrs H, we were able to match vendors with their personalities and style straight away. By The Oaktree then made contact with each of them to obtain quotes, which were then all sent through to the couple for them to look over on weekends and make adjustments and decisions.

As we were also styling their special day with our vintage props, we were able to offer a lot of advice as to what things would work together and other things that wouldn’t. As the bride said ‘I only care what my dress looks like and you (BTO) can do everything else’…we were there to offer advice on celebrants that would match their personalities, colours of flowers that would work together with the dresses and stationary along with details about where the ceremony should be held so that the photographer could get the best backdrop on the day.

As my background is in interior design (I also worked on their new home too!) I was able to draw up optional table seating plans to see how it would best work for them to fit all of their guests into the space along with the dance floor, bar, lounge area and of course the cake!

Looking forward to sharing the photos with you in 5 months time! Yes it only took us a month to plan their whole wedding and now they can sit back and enjoy the ride…Kitchen Tea and Hens Night planning is up next!

A Different Type Of Wedding Planner

Our experience in the industry and relationships with all contacts allows us to judge which vendors we think will be suited to your individual personalities and of course the style of wedding you are dreaming of. The worst thing that can happen on your one special day is to be let down by someone or their product (trust me we know from our own wedding!)

Initial consult – $290

The consult will include the following:

  • 2 hour consult to go through the plans for your wedding
  • identifying your style and vision for your wedding day
  • establish what you have already booked or planned
  • go through our checklist of what needs to be done and in what order

After our meeting, we will provide you with documented information about what we have discussed and contact details for quality vendors who we feel will be best suited to you and your style. We will also contact them to let them know a brief background about your wedding.

 

After a little more guidance – $350-$750

  • Another 1-2 hour consult to get more detail about what colours, themes, looks etc. you are aiming for. If you have booked your venue, we would love to meet you there, as this helps to visualise how everything will work together.
  • On your behalf, we will liaise with those suppliers that we feel would be best suited to you and organise quotes that will then be forwarded on to you.

If you decide that you need our assistance further for things like floor/seating plans, meetings with vendors etc. we can work out custom pricing for you!

Olivia + Will Wedding

Last November By The Oaktree had the absolute pleasure of using so many of our wonderful props to style this stunning wedding at Bungaree Station in Clare.

Olivia was a bride with a clear style in mind came to us with many ideas, but was open to our suggestions to create the most perfect day.

Their family was so welcoming and helpful, letting us know that every aspect of the day reflected the couples style and vision for their wedding!

A HUGE thank you to Evan Bailey Photography for providing us with the below images. For more of their wedding, check out the Real Events section of our Gallery on our website.

Adelady Launch

We can’t believe that it was only a month ago that we met with the fabulous Hayley and Lauren from Adelady to discuss their launch party over a couple of coffee’s at the Dulwich Corner Store Cafe. We offered plenty of ideas and suggestions, ALL which were taken up!

So last Thursday night, we were back at the Dulwich Corner Store Cafe full steam ahead setting up our props and styling their event! The Adelady logo being a pineapple, set the theme for the night along with plenty of bright colours and beautiful candles…

Our Pie Cart was used to display the drinks dispensers with pineapple cocktails for guests on entry.
