Bold Black and Beautiful
If you are going for high contrast, black and white makes a statement. You would be surprised how these simple colours can add strength and modern style to your event. Furniture can be transformed simply with black and white striped covers, and if you want to take it that step further, you can team them with bold colours like yellow. Kate was inspired when she stumbled across an American wedding blog that paired these three colours. We used this as inspiration for the Brett’s Wharf Open Day where we used masses of intense yellow blooms and black and white stripes.
These are great ideas to keep in mind for your next event, whether it is a corporate function, a party with friends or you’re simply looking to brighten up a room, you really can’t go wrong with black and white!
Greek Club Corporate
We at Amini Concepts believe in brand energy! Our aim is to create an event styled with your brand to inspire and engage existing staff and potential clientele. Recently we were involved in styling a corporate night at the Greek Club in South Brisbane. Our illuminated LED lamp cubes and pedestals were branded effectively with the Greek Club logo. These looked strong with the use of our chrome balls and Perspex spheres and were used to create a stunning entrance.
A lounge destination was created with the use of sheer draping teamed with directional furniture pieces courtesy of Epic Empire. Modern clean lined mirrored coffee tables and black and white striped covers on the ottomans added a striking touch to the evening.
Guests raved about our fresh green apple table centerpiece with the apples looking good enough to eat. The white tree centerpiece draped with crystals and black and silver baubles provided a Christmas feel to the table. A firm favourite of Amini’s is the illuminated lamp vase with an LED light illuminating the submerged flowers. Very contemporary.
We must also thank our amazing photographer Tobias Garnham who took these for us, we really appreciate it!
Peacock Wedding
Brisbane put on a stunning afternoon with perfect weather for this riverside wedding. Our bride Kate chose a beautiful theme of peacocks and peacock feathers. This was carried through from the invitations to bridal flowers, table centre pieces and ceremony site. With a vibrant palette of contrasting colour – lime green, purples, plums and teal we created a stunning and inviting atmosphere for their wedding day.
Tall round balls of flowers with lime green orchids, deep purple Lissianthus, green roses and peacock feathers contrasted beautifully with teal table cloths and of course the peacock feathers. An abundance of crystal tea light votives and feature lighting highlighted drapes with floral detailing. A large crystal chandelier hung centrally in the pergola area of Brett’s Wharf’s River Room, created a stunning focal point. Decals of peacock silhouettes, which were also used on the invitations, were placed on our white pedestals which held large floral arrangements and framed the ceremony gazebo.
Some kind words from our bride Kate….
‘To Kelly and Kate,
Just wanted to thank you for the AMAZING job you did on our wedding day – the grassed area was amazing and when we got into the room, I gasped! It was everything I imagined and MORE! Everyone commented on how beautiful the room was and how different it was to the usual wedding reception room. THANK YOU so much, I had imagined what it would look like, but you exceeded all expectations, you girls are seriously talented! I wish I was doing something else that you could work on!! I cannot explain how much it moved me, it was stunning!!!
You made an indecisive bride look like a very decisive couture bride!
Autumn Window
This Autumn inspired window uses the strong colours of the season with layered decals, panels and pedestals. We created an autumn forest effect teaming the stark white Cork Wood branches with orange floral highlights. Key Autumn icons are reflected on the windows and the display takes you on a journey……imagine where this car can take you!
Corporate Flowers
We at Amini Concepts create exclusive and original floral designs for your corporate function, office space or private home. Using fresh quality flowers and foliage to reflect your business’s branding or complimenting colours to your home’s décor, our innovative and individually designed floral arrangements will enhance any space. The modern arrangements pictured incorporate texture and movement with bold lines and splashes of colour. Sleek and professional whether in vases, ceramic pots or stand alone arrangements these are perfect for a function, reception desk or boardroom.
Enchanted Garden
We love a garden wedding bursting with strong shades of blues, lavenders and blushing pinks. This colourful, dreamy but playful styled ceremony was the perfect setting for an intimate exchange of vows.
The lush green tree became the canopy for the wedding ceremony, which was filled with an abundance of hanging florals in glass vessels. The crystal garden chandelier filled with an array of hydrangeas, roses and cascading foliage completed the enchanted setting.
Shepherd hooks with suspended flower balls and a patterned rose petal aisle completed the wedding concept. Brisbane base furniture hire supplier Epic Empire harmonised in style with vintage inspired furniture pieces.
New York, New York
After a recent trip to New York it is exciting and inevitable that we come back inspired and ready to inject new life into our concepts and visual installations. Check out some of the quirky things we found.
One of our favourite shops in NY had fun in their windows transitioning into Spring/Summer (different seasons to us). The humble water bottle was used to create an effective green friendly window. The bottles were cut, split and sprayed with paint to create strong window statements, infusing new season colours.
So who said you have to confirm to plasterboard to establish walls. Through the effective use of doors and windows a temporary wall was created to carry stock. An abstract construction of wooden panels creates a feature wall on the mezzanine level. Plus, unconventional chandeliers not made out of glass or crystal.
Who would have thought the uncomplicated plastic packaging tape that is used around cardboard boxes to keep them together for delivery could be used effectively on crowd bollards. Great idea! Again used in accessory draws as a display element.
A Summer Wedding
What better way to spend your Brisbane Summer wedding than in a marquee along the Brisbane River, with perfect river views, cool summer breezes and fresh open spaces? Here are some pictures from a recent summer wedding Amini Concepts styled in a marquee at Riverlife, at the bottom of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. We worked closely with the bride to create a simple yet elegant ambience, with a black and white theme.
A prominent entrance statement was created with two large floral arrangements and this set the scene for a beautiful yet relaxed style with a feature of beaded chandeliers and rice paper lanterns. An abundance of hanging candles in jars and lanterns in the trees provided soft and romantic candlelight with a stunning backdrop of the Brisbane city lights.
Wedding Styling at Brett’s Wharf Open Day
The last of the crystal candleholders, French provincial chaises and vases have finally been packed away after a beautiful and successful Wedding Open Day at Brett’s Wharf, Brisbane on the weekend. The team from Amini Concepts, Epic Empire and AVI together with the team from Brett’s Wharf created a visual and palatable delight offering wedding decorating and styling ideas for newly engaged brides and grooms.
We eagerly await the photos of our event styling from Jason of Studio 60, but thought we could share some snapshots of the Wedding Open day with you in the meantime.
A stunning entrance statement was created with a vintage French doorway, imported from Egypt. The doors are the perfect idea for an entrance to your wedding or event. Style this with lush florals and vintage furniture for a romantic vintage themed setting.
Beaded chandeliers set the ambience for any wedding. As at the Wedding Open Day we love to hang these in trees and as dusk hits, the warm hue of the chandeliers will illuminate your wedding.
Every bride loves a bit of sparkle and here we teamed beautiful beaded and sequined details with succulents for an elegant table centre.
We look forward to displaying more decorating and styling ideas for your wedding day or event, so stay tuned!
