Driving down Moncur street on a gorgeous summer day in February we noticed the building that was home to wedding designers Baccini & Hill for over 7 years was now available. Within 48hrs it was officially our new home. SugarLove Weddings & White Designs were moving in on May 1st!!
We spent 2months undertaking extensive renovations to turn the building into our dream showroom complete with an exterior bottle green paint finish with cream trim and custom black canvas capola awning. The gorgeous green aged trees on John Street and addition of 2 Olive trees in rattan baskets finished off the entrance just perfectly.
An endless line of "Thank You's must go to our incredible Interior Designer & Stylist, Nellie Tilley. Nellie designed our Palm Beach showroom in 2007 and was the perfect choice to carry our clean, simple Hampton's inspired theme through the main showroom in Woollahra.
Antique oriental porcelain ginger jars, sterling silver frames, a variety of shells & the karmic serenity of a buddha on black plinth complete a window display. Other showroom design choices included sheer french pleated linen curtains, parquetry floors stained japan black and the soft treatment of sisal herringbone seagrass matting. Two black Louis XV parlour chairs with rattan back were upholstered in "Bohemia Eclipse" and sit proudly beside the oak table.
Other key features include a Empire Crystal Chandelier and Provence Desk in Antique Black. Our 2nd level White Designs viewing floor has a Crystal Column Lamp with white linen shade and high backed desk chair with black/white ticking slip cover with ties. Our flowers are updated weekly by the wonderfully talented Fleur at Summers Floral
Some of our favorite pieces that truly capture the essence of SugarLove & White style...simple, elegant and classic timeless pieces that last forever.
Nautilus Shells & black fan coral add a touch of contrast and colour in burnt orange. Some favorite SugarLove moments sit proudly underneath.
Vintage antique black double sided frame with gold gilt detail surround floating images between glass panels displaying two of our favorite weddings. Authentic Chinese Porcelain stools make the perfect guest side tables. Nearby the cynopsis orchid sits in bloom and our custom made bergere chairs with antique black finish are upholstered in a black/white grape & pomegranate print called "Batik Noir".
We hope you are have enjoyed looking through our new Woollahra showroom in Sydney. It has been a 10year journey imagining what this space would look like, we would love to know what you think. Thank you to everyone who has designed, built, painted, drawn, photographed or filmed anything that has formed part of the final shop. You are the best, Leigh x
Real Weddings Magazine ran a stunning 6 page story on Hayley & David's wedding in their 2008 edition. We are delighted to share the story of their day in further detail on our SugarLove blog.
Hayley wore a dress by Helen Rodrigues. Handmade from the same material, an elegant floral hairpiece was designed to match.
Hayley prepares for the ceremony with her Mum and Dad at the Peppers Bale Resort located in the beautiful town of Port Douglas.
The couple were married at the picturesque St Mary's Church by the Sea. White roses adorned the pews, altar and aisle. A perfect winter day included sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows throughout the service.
Guests were transported from the church to a marquee set deep in the QLD rainforest. The perfect location was situated on a green lawn bordered by a creek and surrounded by huge old trees which helped to create a magical atmosphere.
On arrival guests were handed a refreshing cocktail and the fireworks started. Music was provided by the Russell Harris Group.
After deciding on the black & white theme M.A.D Events in Port Douglas were chosen as the local event planner. Rouba Alamein from The Style Salon was hired from Sydney to help create the overall styling vision for the event which was nothing short of stunning.
Hayley chose to add some personal touches with crystal perfume bottles filled with essential oils as the bonbonniere. The bridal table was positioned in the middle of the marquee and dressed with white French antique chairs with ruffled cushions.
A chic private powder room was designed & styled by the Style Salon. White ottomans with black cushions, black drapes & gilded mirrors were just some of the accents added on the night.
Hayley & David danced the night away to an eight piece band with enough memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for inviting us to share your day...
