Sarah had spent years collecting inspiring images from celebrity weddings but still, when she stepped onto Starship she was in awe of the beauty created by stylist Anthony Del Col. “When we hired Anthony all our stress turned to excitement. He’s a thorough professional who brought our vision to life. He was marvelous,” says Sarah.
The second floor cocktail area and surrounding deck provided the perfect area for guests to mingle at the start of the night. Twenty grand and very lush flowering plants were placed on the deck and cocktail area, accompanied by posies of flowers and tea lights.

On their 11th anniversary Elaine and Norm married at the Sydney Opera House and later celebrated in the beautifully styled Ivy Ballroom. Their wedding was a stunning celebration – an opportunity to recognise and honour their culture, share a momentous day with their family and friends, and mark the beginning of their beautiful life together.
With the help of stylist Anthony Del Col from Staging Connections, Elaine and Norm’s wedding was an unforgettable celebration of romance. “With the theme of modern elegance, we incorporated everything we have ever wanted to experience at a wedding. We wanted to give that to our guests, we wanted our love for each other and our guests to shine through,” says Elaine.

Inspired to create an elegant and unforgettable white wedding, Jaclyn and Paul married at the Central Synagogue and then celebrated with 250 guests at the beautiful Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf. An abundance of white blooms, soft candlelight and an energetic five-piece band ensured it was a night to remember.
At the reception everything was white, including the dancefloor. Jaclyn added her personal touch to every corner of the event space and was delighted with the result. White phaeleanopsis orchards, tulips, hydrangeas were the stand out flowers that draped across the bridal table,white floral centrepieces decorated each table and candles were featured throughout the room.

Vicky and Ali dreamed of a stylish social party where they could mingle with their wedding guests. In late spring, on an idyllic day, they became husband and wife at the beautiful Gunners’ Barracks. The celebration was stunning, peppered with an abundance of fresh blooms, decadent food and the very best company.
After a week of grey skies and rain the sky was a brilliant blue for their big day. On the lawn at Gunners’ Barracks, overlooking a harbour dotted with sailing boats and cruise ships, Vicky and Ali married in a simple and heartfelt ceremony. Celebrations began straight away with guests having full access to the sandstone courtyard and opulently appointed rooms inside the building. Stylist Anthony Del Col and florist Maria Lush created a romantic scene in the courtyard by hanging white peonies from above – a unique and affective touch.

Tom (wedding photographer) followed the newlyweds to the Grand Ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel where a stunning reception space had been created with the help of event coordinator Anthony Del Col. Each of the thirty tables featured a low, round vase filled with an array of flora: roses, green figs, lotus flowers, privet berries, tropical leaves, fig branches, green succulents and olive leaves. The white chair covers were made all the more beautiful by the addition of a few sprigs of olive branches, a heartfelt gift from the tree in Nicole’s family garden.
