Jack's Back

We’ve always been great fans of Jack London’s hip collections, including his modern and edgy suits. Described as evoking “an unrestrained street cool and strength” (an ideal goal for a nervous groom!), Jack London’s suits range from traditional black to a fresh blueberry purple and everything in-between. Inspired and influenced by the 1950’s seashore of England, the latest collection will leave the gents feeling just a little rock star. Opening the gates for those not able to visit their boutiques, JL is launching an online store in August this year. With a click of your mouse a purchase can be made and delivered straight to your door. Voila! Visit www.jacklondon.com.au for launch dates and collection details.

Another testimonial :)

As we finish our busy June we are getting so many thank you cards and emails we are delighted to have created such special days for our clients and most of our weddings will be uploaded onto the blog when we receive the photos but here is a lovely testimonial received today from one of my bride´s mother. It was a gorgeous wedding at the Finca de la Concepcion for Chris and Faye and our congratulations goes out to this charming family whose day we shared with many fabulous details created over the past year.

Hi Laura

I just wanted to thank you for making Chris and Faye´s day so amazing! The sheer beauty of everything you created took my breath away, especially the beautiful flowers. So many people have complimented on the decor saying they had never seen such uniqueness. All the hard work paid off and it was a pleasure dealing with you, exchanging all the emails, ideas and finishing touches. Also a big thank you to Anoulka, I know she contributed to a large part of the creativity!

Thank you so much for all that you did to make the day so memorable, it was everything that Chris and Faye wanted and so much more.
