It is our joy to feature the work of Mint Events again. They’re truly a talented team with creative minds that will leave you wanting more. The aisle here is especially beautiful – we’ve seen it on Pinterest and to know that they can do the same is wonderful. Freeze-dried rose petals that were personally sourced and air flown in from the States by the bride gave the venue a pleasant scent and surely added a dreamy touch to the wedding ambience.
Adeline: “Nothing is more satisfying than the joy of seeing months of planning fall into place. Seeing our mood board come to life, and the colour palette of ivory, blush and champagne being painted across the space and on every little detail – it was amazing.
“There was no specific theme, but the goal was to achieve an overall dreamy-romantic feel with a rustic hint to balance out the girly-ness of everything else. The rustic-style photobooth setting was also perfectly complemented by Ciao’s existing red brick exterior.
“The venue was chosen by the couple because it could host both the ceremony and reception, and it had an existing draped marquee with chandeliers that was perfect for a soft, dreamy touch. The rustic exterior of the venue balanced everything out very well.
“The Dessert Table was a fun addition to the wedding. The bride was mindful of the fact that Dessert Table items often end up being untouched, so we put together customised candy bags for guests to pack the extras. This was a crowd pleaser, as guests also didn’t leave empty-handed.”
Mint Events’ tips for brides-to-be: “Having the bridal couple’s trust and confidence is invaluable in the whole planning and execution as we are then trusted to do what we do best. Engage someone whom you trust to execute your wedding vision and, more importantly, choose someone whose work and style you can resonate with.
“We love Pinterest brides – couples who come to us with an existing inspiration board to illustrate their ideas. It’s an exciting shift in the role dynamics because traditionally we would be the ones producing inspiration boards. This adds value to the creative process and helps us align their ideas with our creative vision.”
