10 Shire-Based Wedding Vendors We’re Loving Right Now
Looking to curate your wedding day dream team? Start local.
Nunu Designs, Sutherland Shire
Sourcing your wedding vendors is a big deal. Chances are, you’ve never planned a wedding before and this is set to be the biggest party you’ll ever throw. So, where to start? A list of tried-and-tested vendors is a solid place. Ease of communication and the ability to distil your vision (whether you know what it is or not) are two of the most important factors when selecting your wedding day team. As for supporting locals, that’s an added bonus. Here we share ten Shire-based wedding vendors that we adore. And they travel, too!
Nunu Designs
Your wedding florals go a long way in setting the tone for the day. We’re forever in awe of the abundant installs and striking spaces curated by Nunu Designs. Only taking onboard a limited number of weddings per year, you can expect top-tier conceptual design and breathtaking results. Nunu doesn’t just rely on volume to make an impact, instead, you’ll find they incorporate unique structural elements. Their detailed approach will weave in everything that makes your heart sing, from fragrances to blooms of sentimental value.
Vendor Tip: Pinterest is great for a starting point — but don’t feel like you need to recreate it. The most memorable weddings are the ones that feel true to you. Trust your florist and stylist. When you give them creative freedom, the magic follows.
Scout Soirèes
As any loyal Scout devotees would know, we’re also in the business of capturing visual memories from the most important day of your life. With over 10 years of experience in capturing organic video content, we know just how to seek out the detail, emotion, and candid moments you’ll want to watch over and over again. Our content creation packages range from petite to full-scale, so whatever your budget, you'll have video memories to cherish forevermore.
Vendor Tip: Don’t just rely on your photographer for the big moments — our behind-the-scenes, candid video content means you’ll remember the feeling of the day, not just how it looked. (And yes, we travel.)
Hire a Bridesmaid
Just like it says on the box, Hire a Bridesmaid is the extra hands you need when pulling off an event as involved as a wedding. Offering wedding planning and coordination services, they’ve got all the nitty-gritty details covered, leaving you more time to soak up the fleeting moments. From runsheets to morning-of coffees, they’ve got the details down pat. P.S The owner Kerstyn also doubles as a celebrant.
Vendor Tip: When it comes to planning, care deeply, plan thoughtfully — and then let go. The best weddings happen when you give yourself permission to be fully present on the day. And for the ceremony itself? The sweet spot is heartfelt but not heavy, funny without being a comedy set. Aim for something that sounds like you, not a script you’ve heard before.
The Vows Ceremonies
Your ceremony is undoubtedly the most important part of your day, so invest in it! Finding a celebrant who understands you as a couple and the mood you’re aiming to create is key. Enter Alexandra of The Vow Ceremonies. Keen to break the stereotype of outdated, cheesy, and generic ceremonies, Alexandra takes the time to get to know her couples in order to craft memorable and personalised moments. The best bit? She’s organised as anything and can MC, too!
Vendor Tip: You’re the guests of honour — not the hosts. Skip outdated traditions that don’t speak to you and plan a ceremony that actually feels like yours. Think meaningful moments that you’ll actually enjoy, not cookie-cutter ones
El Botanical
For florals that feel effortless, wild, and full of soul, look to El Botanical. Specialising in floral design for weddings and events, her work leans into natural textures and seasonal colour palettes — never too prim or overly structured. Whether you’re after whimsical table arrangements or an unmissable ceremony install, her work strikes the perfect balance between organic and elevated. The best part? Her process is seamless from start to finish, making one more thing on your wedding to-do list feel beautifully easy.
Vendor Tip: Don’t stress if you’re not across flower names — just tell El how you want your day to feel. She’ll translate your vibe into florals that are soulful, seasonal, and seriously stunning.
Baked Collective
Creators of some of our favourite treats in The Shire, Baked Collective also craft showstopping celebration cakes that aren’t just a pretty face. A scour of their ‘gram feeds tells you everything you need to know. Arrive with a vision or let them take full creative control — either way, you’ll be smitten with your cake. Order a cake-tasting box to get amongst their delicious flavours.
Vendor Tip: Cut your cake right after the ceremony! It’s fun, a little unexpected, and who doesn’t love dessert before dinner? Plus, it makes for a sweet photo op before the formalities begin.
Hope x Page
Not sure where to start on your bridal gown journey? We recommend popping in to Hope x Page in Gymea for a curation of chic designer pieces. They’ve done the hard work of whittling down the best Australian and international designers into a collection of modern bridalwear. Think Alex Perry, Alexandra Grecco, Daalarna, Newhite and more.
Vendor Tip: Come with an open mind — sometimes the dress you didn’t expect ends up being the one. Let our team guide you, try on styles you hadn’t considered, and you might just surprise yourself.
Xela Studio
Stationery and signage are the special touches that take you from event to wedding and enable you to take your theme to the next level. Xela Studio offers bespoke graphic design services and calligraphy. From seating charts printed on cascading linen to hand-drawn invitation details, hand-painted fans and custom bridal party gift boxes, a scroll through Xela Studio’s feed will leave you inspired.
Vendor Tip: When it comes to bespoke stationery, the possibilities are endless — and while less is more, details are everything. Try to inject elements of you as a couple into your pieces… the kind that make your guests say, “That is so them!”
Hey There Lovers
One of the biggest wedding regrets we hear? Skipping video. Being able to watch back your excited guests take their seats, as your friends mingle and your first moments as a married couple is a priceless joy. Luke of Hey There Lovers captures it all — quietly and candidly. His elevated, photojournalistic approach means no awkward posing, just beautifully unscripted memories to treasure forever.
Vendor Tip: The best wedding films start with good energy. Cue the music during morning prep — someone always breaks into a boogie — or enter your reception straight onto the dance floor. It’s playful, unexpected, and sets the tone for a night your guests won’t forget.
Lovestoned Styling
Rychelle of Lovestoned Styling is a master of her craft. Offering a full-scale styling service, floral design, and a catalogue of seriously chic hire items, she truly is the hostess with the mostess. The vision? Unstructured luxury. The team at Lovestoned can help you hone your vision into a coherent concept and carry it through to completion. They always add ahead-of-the-curve items to their inventory and have even been responsible for a viral moment or two with the construction of showstopping custom pieces.
Vendor Tip: Even if you’ve only picked a colour palette, having a few inspo images ready goes a long way. A quick Pinterest board of ceremony vibes or table settings helps Lovestoned turn your ideas into a full-blown dream day.
