Bold blooms, an epic gin bar and a Labrador named Bronco!


Emily & Jake’s spring wedding at The Refinery was the perfect fusion of modern styling, vibrant colour and heartfelt moments. Their day featured epic sculptural florals in hues of lilac and lime green, a show stopping gin bar, and all the fun details that made it uniquely theirs.


They chose to share a first look at Newstead House, a place close to their hearts, so they could spend more of cocktail hour celebrating with their favourite people. Their chocolate Lab, Bronco, was undoubtedly the star of the show, bringing plenty of chaos and character, while Jake’s favourite carrot cake, lovingly made by a friend’s mum, was the sweetest personal touch. With Em's bestie flying all the way from London, a love of jazz, and a dance floor full of energy, Emily and Jake’s day was a beautiful celebration of everything of them ... relaxed, colourful and overflowing with personality.
