Claudia and Joshua’s Engagement Party was an absolute dream, inspired by Sicilian elegance. Met with the perfect neutral pallet, their stylist and coordinator Simon Tayoun created a stunning and unique floral setting for the couple as the centrepiece of the event, complete with amber chairs, olive and maple foliage and a sleek, sophisticated cake.

Reflecting back on their Special Day, Joshua and Claudia told Wedded Wonderland they had never seen anything as perfect as the styling on their special day. “Joshua and I made a point of spending a few minutes alone, just taking all the detail in. We asked my brother to sing one of our favourite love songs to start the day off. Once he started singing, the whole room went silent. We could hear the raw emotion and honour in his voice as he sung.”

Despite being super nervous to have both their families all in one room, it turned out to be exactly how they had hoped their day would turn out. “As we cut the cake, we took a moment to look at our nearest and dearest all together. All the nerves about different cultures and personalities didn’t matter anymore. No matter what, everyone was present to celebrate our love, and we really felt that.”

Be inspired, Fairies!
