Local business owners team up together in time for the wedding season
Announcement posted by Dewinta Dandot Photography 15 Aug 2018
Melbourne businesswomen have come together to create a bridal shower and intimate wedding shoot to showcase local businesses and inspire soon to be brides.
Wedding season is fast approaching and local businesses in the Melbourne Eastern Suburb, Montrose, came together to create a bridal shower and intimate wedding shoot.
These talented locals from Mary Eats Cake, Dewinta Dandot Photography and many others collaborated by using their skill set to showcase their work to provide local brides-to-be with some great wedding inspiration.
The Cottage Charm themed bridal shower was a small intimate setting at Mary Eats Cake’s new venue in Montrose to bring to life a beautiful setting. All successful women worked hard to create special moments for brides they service. The shoot is a reflection of the great talent all the businesses showcase.
“We hosted a bridal shower celebration complete with flowers you can eat, drink and wear. The cottage charm bride-to-be has a certain class when enjoying High Tea and cake with her friends and family. Bridal showers are an expression of the bride's journey from engagement to the upcoming wedding. They weave preferred colour themes on table decorations, take home gifts for guests, cute photos of the couple and floral arrangements around the room. The elegant bridal High Tea experience is for the refined bride that believes in magical dining experiences enjoyed with family and friends,” said Co-Director of Mary Eats Cake, Sarah de Witt.
New to the area, Dewinta Dandot moved from the west to experience the beautiful nature of the Dandenong Ranges and to expand her photography business. The bridal shower & wedding photoshoot was a great way for her to showcase her talent.
“This shoot was inspired by my love for High Tea and a group of close friends who enjoy each other’s company whilst pampering themselves with gourmet delicacies and artisan tea. Having met the directors at Mary Eats Cake at Montrose, I knew we could do something fabulous together. The venue itself has a lovely cottage charm feel. Thus the idea of styling a girly high tea became our vision,” said the owner Dewinta Dandot Photography.
The shoot took place on June, 25 with various female and male models who helped create the scene for all the partners involved.
Businesses and vendors who participated included Dewinta Dandot Photography (photographer), Mary Eats Cake (venue), Botanique (florist), Samone Shepherdson art + design (stationery), Peggy Stasinos Makeup & Hair (makeup artists), Hair by Marjorie May Fair (hair), Empire Bridal (wedding dress/accessories) and Love & Lines (signage).
Together these businesswomen can create a perfect wedding setting for a couple who wants something unique and different on their special day.
