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.

Intimate Bohemian Wedding at Beldi Country Club
Seeking inspiration for a luxury destination wedding? Look no further.
This intimate celebration at Beldi Country Club in Marrakech, Morocco is for the adventure seeking bride who doesn’t want to spare elegance.
The venue offers both culture and convenience with Moroccan architecture, an onsite hotel and spa and elaborate manicured gardens. We chose to utilize the massive greenhouse for this intimate event and designed both the ceremony and the dinner within the towering glass walls. The lush gardens and soaring ceilings made for the most stunning surroundings. Not wanting to compete with the space, rather compliment, we kept the design minimal but memorable and unique, incorporating neutral colors and natural textures.
We love this venue because the spaces are all so individually unique, yet cohesive, providing the perfect flow for an event of any size.
Elaborate, simplistic, intimate, or large - Our team is well experienced with destination wedding planning and would love to be a part of your planning experience.

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.

Hannah & Bradley’s Elopement
A Dreamy Elopement at Pink House Azores, Portugal
Sleeping in, enjoying a cup of coffee with your best friend and adventuring around a beautiful island in Portugal.. this was the blissful, dream of a wedding day that our sweet couple, Hannah and Bradley, shared together this past April.
Just a two hour flight from Lisbon, lies the magical island of Saõ Miguel, which is home to the infamous Pink House; an old renovated barn, surrounded by stunning gardens and fruit orchards. This was the spot that our couple both started and ended their special day, celebrating their love exactly how it should be, true to them.
“Eloping, the day held no agenda, no timeline, just an open schedule to truly experience every moment of the day, exactly as we wanted to. We woke up at noon to share a breakfast before we parted ways to get ready and write our vows in different wings of the Pink House. We only spent an hour apart, but it was enough for anticipation to rise and tears to well as we shared our first look outside our beautiful pink home - Above all else, I love that eloping gave us complete freedom to enjoy the start of our marriage in a way that was meaningful to us, unique to who we are as a couple” - Hannah
Designing and planning this elopement for Hannah and Bradley was an absolute dream! Together with Goodseed Floral, we created a unique and intimate area for the couple to return to after sharing their vows on the most romantic, foggy cliffside we could find! Bold teal, bright coral and organic, wild florals encompassed their beautiful sweetheart table - a cozy, curated corner, just for them on their most special day.
