WEDDING STYLING
HUNTER VALLEY, SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS AND BEYOND
meet LAURA
HEY! I’m Laura Wedding Planner, stylist, mood-maker + design enthusiast.
After years in the fashion industry and travelling Australia as a National Retail Manager, I threw it all in for LOVE…
James and I dated in our early twenties and after dating for a short time, we went our separate ways. Over time, I became a career woman, working my way up the ladder when eight years later, James and I reconnected and the rest is history. After falling head-over-heels, I decided to give up my career and life in Sydney for love, and haven’t looked back since.
Married in 2020 and incredibly blessed with our beautiful daughter Ella and dog Ronnie, who bring us so much joy.
Throughout the year-plus process of planning my own wedding, I faced various obstacles and difficulties being the year of covid. However, I loved each and every moment of the experience. It was during this time that found the industry to perfectly matched my personal aspirations. Characterised by its connection to emotions, customer satisfaction, highly creative, and a relentless need for attention to detail.
Over the years, I always had a passion for engaging with people and a strong desire to innovate, streamline processes and establish systems.
The urge to build something of my own was a burning desire within me, although I wasn't quite sure what that something would be. I had finally discovered my calling where I could wholeheartedly invest my passion and ultimately take immense pride in.
We work tirelessly to bring our couple's vision to life, creating a magical ambiance that sets the tone for the entire day. It isn’t just about making things look pretty. It’s about creating a feeling, an experience, a moment in time for you and your guests to remember forever.
We love a good checklist and spreadsheet and we believe the wedding planning journey should be just as incredible as the day itself. Planning a wedding is no easy feat. With many hours, competing priorities and budgetary decisions to be made, why tackle wedding planning with added stress.
With a personable approach, responsive communication, and one-on-one service, we build genuine friendships with each and every client.
We are so excited to share this journey with you. Are you ready to create a little magic?
