Byron Bay Wedding with Casual Glamour
You may wonder how a wedding can be both laid back AND glamorous. Well, this classy, casual celebration in Byron Bay is exactly that!
This intimate event was hosted at Shutters on the Hill, a private luxury rental home with expansive panoramic views of the Byron Bay countryside, spanning all the way to the Pacific Ocean. This residence is both peaceful and stylish with beautifully maintained gardens, a stunning swimming pool and a massive covered veranda - making it an ideal space to host an intimate, destination wedding, surround but only your very closest people, the ones who matter most.
The entire earthy, monochromatic design of this event revolved around a large slab of Australian sandstone, which was sourced locally and soon found its new home in the center of our tablescape. The neutral tones of the stone not only inspired the champagne color palate, but also paired perfectly with the bride’s rose-hued, metallic Capri gown by Grace Loves Lace.
We wanted the tablescape to really stand out against the surrounding landscape and make a bold, yet inviting statement for this intimate group. Goodseed Floral incorporated pops of dark maroon anthurium and draping amaranthus for an extra unique installation design. The dried hydrangea and crisp, brown ferns complimented the darker tones of the sandstone slab.
The laid back, glam feel of this wedding is such an attainable aspiration for couples who are seeking luxury, without an atrocious price tag. The number one way to have the design you want without going over budget is sometimes just to cut your guest count.

Texas Desert Wedding at The Willow House
Of all the work we’ve done over the years, we truly believe that nothing could represent our brand more accurately than this set up. Nothing says ‘Mae&Co’ more than a beautiful, unique Rue de Seine gown, with desert views, the most stunning earth toned palette and stunning florals to match.
This custom built, statement ceremony backdrop was a dream of ours and the beautiful sunset colored arches were an absolute labor of love - created in our Portland, Oregon studio and driven 2,000 miles in the back of our van, down to Terlingua, Texas.
This entire design was created with our bride’s Tucson gown from Rue de Seine in mind - the warm colors, detailed embroidering and romantic, billowing sleeves really represent that untraditional, timeless bride who does what she likes and aims to create a day that speaks to her love and inspires creativity in others.
The tablescape, an intimate setting for six, was both modern and simplistic, honoring the beauty of the surrounding desert. Organically placed natural linen napkins, wooden utensils and the perfect curve of the dinner menu are some of our favorite aspects. The unique dried floral installation, suspended above the table, was dramatic without being over bearing and the absolute perfect addition to this earthy, desert tablescape.
We’re so proud of this beautiful, unique desert wedding and the incredible team that helped make this beauty come to life. Being able to custom design spaces and build unique installations brings us so much joy and we can’t wait to share this one with you.
