Sugar & Spice Events - Chocolate and White Wedding Theme

On Easter Sunday we had the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE of styling a gorgeous wedding at Mantra Salt Hotel in Kingscliffe.  The Bride's breif was: elegant, a touch of vintage, sophisticated, and a chocolate and white theme.  We feel we acheived that...let us know if you do too!

Satin Tie Back Chair Covers
These are an elegant alternative to white lycra chair covers if you prefer a softer, more feminine look.  All chairs were decorated with a chocolate brown satin chair bow.

Place Settings
Charger plates are large decorative plates used to dress tables and our gold beaded range added instant glamour.  We chose gold to work in with crystal amber  beads which were used on the invitations.

White linen napkins matched tablecloths and were folded in a simple rectangular fashion.  A chocolate coloured satin ribbon with small diamante-look buckle brought in the colour to the place settings.  Napkins were positioned on top of the charger plates.

Bonbonniere were small boxes filled with easter eggs and tied with matching ribbon

Centrepieces
These stunning crystal drop candelabras were an elegant focal point for the tables. 
Glittering with  white candles, they bathed the table in soft candlelight.  Candelabras were placed on mirror bases and surrounded by tea light votive candles.

The bride opted for a scrummy chocolate mud cake with chocolate moulding icing and white ribbon.  The cake was provided by Yenmart, located in Bureigh on the Gold Coast.  Flowers by The Lilac Tree, also located on the Gold Coast.

Ceremony

The Bride and Groom were worried about inclement weather on the day so decided to take the safe road and set up for a beautiful ceremony inside the ballroom.  We set our stunning Fairy Light backdrop for the couple to say their vows in front of, a red carpet aisle and white satin covered chairs for guests.
