Last week we had the pleasure of meeting with Naomi from the Ambassadors Hotel. What a pleasure it was to experience the old world charm and elegance of their Balcony Ballroom with the natural light pouring in through their conservatory that looks out over King William Street.

The two open fireplaces, mirrored panelled walls, timber floor boards and crystal chandeliers provide the perfect backdrop for weddings, engagements parties and so many other types of events! And those arch walkways!!!

And then there is The Thrift Shop Bar…right up our alley! The amazing pieces they have found and how it has all been put together is stunning! The focus of this bar is on Australian produce and did you know that they are the only bar to have Australian ONLY spirits…how cool is that! We will definitely be back there soon.

At the start of this year I decided that there were 2 things I wanted to do for myself in 2015 – learn floristry and calligraphy basics. So when I saw Brick + Mortar Creative advertise Jess Matthews ‘Introduction to Brush Lettering Workshop’ I knew I had to do it….and now I am obsessed!

The more creative, casual side of this style of writing is much more suited to me than the perfection of calligraphy, so was meant to be that I was one of the lucky ones attending Jess’ workshop. I am excited to be able to incorporate this more into By The Oaktree through chalkboards, place cards and any other hand written work required. I can’t wait to make some more posters and greeting cards too!

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.
