WOOLLAHRA SHOWROOM PARTY

After months of dreaming of our Grand Opening Showroom Party we finally broke open the champagne and celebrated in style with 60 guests on Tuesday 24th November in Woollahra.

Rouba & her wonderful team from The Style Salon decorated our exterior with seagrass matting, wooden hurricane lanterns and white rose bushes.

The amber crystal door handle on our front door is one of the original features we kept prior to our shop design. Olive trees regularly sit outside the door to greet guests & soften the entrance.

Photographer/Director Bradley Patrick enjoys a pre-party champagne with our studio manager Prue and Photographer, Lauren on Moncur Street. Taittinger were our main sponsor for the evening - a favorite of the SugarLove family.

Our window photography features the country wedding of clients Ros & Blake who stopped by for a viewing. Their wedding was featured in Bride to Be Magazine. We wish you the very best for the arrival of your first baby x

SugarLove/White clients Libby & Luke Trickett and Brianna Koch with husband CJ Jayasinghe join us in Woollahra to celebrate and toast together.

Candlelight softens the front window display and our main showroom chandelier provides a delicate ambient light for guests inside. The team from Wedding List Co enjoy their visit.

Candlelight continued throughout the 2nd floor waiting area and directors office which also holds a large sample of Bradley Patrick's framed celebrity portraits with such clients as Uma Thurman, Michael Caine and Jodie Foster.

Another favorite SugarLove/White bride Shen-Tel Lee who flew in from Malaysia just a few days before the party catches up with her SugarLove Photographer, Saffrine. Our favorite celebrity wedding planner/stylist, Anthony Del Col enjoys the celebrations (with me of course)

The delicious menu was designed and served on elegant platters throughout the night

A perfect spring evening offered the option of celebrating both inside & out

Under the moonlight and inside the party has a lovely energy and is perfectly designed for celebrations. We are looking forward to many more in 2010.

The rockstars return from Japan. Perhaps the most well known SugarLove clients over the past few years - Glen & Amee Allsop as featured in many of our advertisements. Multi talented Glen (also SugarLove Photographer) and architect/wife Amee literally just flew in hours before the party from shooting Issey Miyake's home in Japan.

Annabelle & Emilie flew in from South Australia representing one of our favorite bridal magazines Wedding Style Guide
Bradley & I share a moment to reflect on the journey so far whilst studio manager, Prue enjoys a toast with Christie Hayes in the showroom.
