OVERVIEW

We have endless creativity and passion for creating weddings and events that are truly beautiful and unique, combined with some meticulous planning skills and a real eye for detail. We thrive on transforming blank spaces into something amazing and bringing our clients’ dreams to life. 

Wild Heart Events are a full service design studio...

We offer it all – from Event Design & Planning, through to Styling, Floral Design and Prop Hire. We can help save you loads of time, angst and money and achieve beautiful design cohesion across your entire event.

  • Event Planning + Design
  • Ceremony + Venue Styling
  • Prop Hire (from our extensive range)
  • Floral Design (for all your flower requirements)

Whilst boho vibes are on trend (and one of our favourite styles right now!), we are very adaptable and creative. We can help you design a memorable and gorgeous event that reflects your unique style and personality including:

- Beach or coastal (we love a Hamptons inspired event!)

- Garden and outdoor (think beautiful parks, gardens and possibly marquees as well)

- Elegant (classical and traditional, with a modern twist)

- Modern or Minimalist (perfect for many newer venues and warehouses)

- Luxurious and Glamourous (think rich colours and textures, luxe styling and drama)

- Vintage Style

- Vibrant, Fun & Colourful

- Sustainable and low-waste

We can take care of all your Floral Design - from bouquets & boutonnieres, to table centrepieces and statement arrangements, garlands, arbours and hanging installations. We design and create exquisite floral creations that will transform any space into something magical.

We have an entire shed bursting at the seams with beautiful props and decorations available to style your Wedding or event. Our curated prop range consists predominantly of Boho, Vintage and Rustic Country style pieces, including Arbours, signing tables & chairs and decorative lighting. We have loads of stunning custom-made Boho-style items, including macrame back-drops, chandeliers, a tee-pee, chair-backs, cushions, table runners, ottomans, wall-hangings, timber and shell lighting and so much more…

If we don’t stock what you are after, or you are wanting a different feel for your Wedding or event, we will source the perfect props from our network of fabulous local vendors.

We also offer straight Prop Hire on most of our range. Our range is vast and constantly growing, so talk to us about how we can help transform your Wedding or special event into something fabulous!

FAQ

Many Wedding and event venues today are often blank canvas spaces that offer lots of flexibility and freedom to create whatever look and feel you would like to.

Whether you need a Stylist really depends on how hands-on and DIY-inclined you are. It also depends on whether you want to spend the days leading up to - and the morning of your Wedding - setting up OR relaxing and enjoying this time with family and friends.

Coming up with the ideas and concepts for an event is just one part of the equation. Some people think a Stylist's job only takes an hour or two (the time when we’re physically at the venue setting up). This is actually far from the case.

There are definitely some clever people who can DIY. If you are incredibly organised, have loads of time, know exactly what you want and have the connections to achieve this, there is no reason why you wouldn’t be able to handle the styling for your own wedding or event.

Having a Stylist look after your wedding or event styling really takes the stress away and leaves you free to focus on the fun parts. You can leave things in their capable hands and know that everything will be taken care of. You don’t need to worry about how you, your family and friends are going to set up and pack up everything and still manage to have a great time (unfortunately this rarely seems to happen!).

Stylists tend to know all the best places to hire fabulous items. This can save you hours of trawling the internet and driving around town trying to source things yourself. 

Professional Stylists have lots of experience working on Weddings and events. They know only too well the many things that can go wrong and they have quick and workable solutions ready if they are needed.

Short bump-in times can create more work and pressure. More staff are usually required to ensure everything can be done in the short window of time and to the high standard and level of attention we work to.

Depending on the scope of work on an event and the time available for bump-in, Danielle works alongside a team of talented creatives, who she hand-picks for each event depending on exactly what is required. Like herself, this passionate and creative crew all truly love what they do, and include Stylists, qualified freelance-Florists and a handy husband who can design and build the most amazing props.    

We tend to spend 50+ hours planning and setting up an average size wedding. From the initial enquiry to the styling consultation, creative brainstorming, finalizing ideas, props and suppliers.

We typically work a 12-16 hour day before a wedding, setting up and styling the venue. Then on the day of the wedding we are usually back for another 5-6 hours, setting up any props outside and doing all the last minute things like floral work on cakes, lighting candles throughout the venue, scattering fresh rose petals down the aisle, etc. After the Ceremony and/or Reception, we then we come back to pack everything down, clean it all and return it to suppliers or storage. 

If bump-in time is tight, all of this work needs to be done much quicker with a much larger crew of helpers.

During your initial Styling Consultation, we will spend at least an hour and a half together, so you can brief us on what you have in mind and we can toss lots of ideas around. This helps us get to know each other and gives me a really good feel for what you envision for your Wedding or special event.

From there we will phone and email each other back and forward with lots of ideas, deciding on all the different elements you would like and locking things in. We will be here for you to bounce ideas off, help you find solutions to any problems that may arise and make friendly suggestions about what will work and what might not.

In the month leading up to your big day, I prepare the run sheets, task lists and plan all the logistics of the set up. During this stage I usually have lots of questions I will email you about, to tie up any loose ends and take care of all the little details so that everything runs really smoothly on the day. 

We have been engaged by a number of clients who realised a couple of months (and once only 3 weeks!) before their Wedding that there is a lot more involved than they initially thought.

We prefer to start early and have the time to explore all the options and enjoy the process with you. In saying that though, if you have bitten off more than you can chew, don’t be scared to contact us!    

You could use a stylist if you:

* Are stuck for design ideas or inspiration

* Have too many ideas and styles you like and you are having trouble making these work together

* Want to see your vision come to life

* Are not sure where to start

* Have a difficult venue or location to set-up and style

* Have a short bump-in & bump-out time at your venue

* Don’t want the stress of doing it yourself

* Don’t want to burden your family and friends

* Want to be prepared for potential disasters - like rain

* Don’t want to pack up after your event

* Want to relax and enjoy the lead-up to your wedding or event

Yes, a site visit is a must so we can walk around the venue together and get a really good feel for the space, ceiling heights, furniture and facilities available, etc. If possible, we will meet for your initial Styling Consultation at the venue, so we can chat about all the different styling elements and possibilities while we are there in the space.

We require an initial 25% Deposit to confirm any booking for Styling or Floral work and for us to reserve the date for you.

The final balance on Styling work is due 2 weeks prior to your event date.

The final balance on Floral work is due 3 weeks prior to your event date.

 

For Prop Hire, we require a 50% Deposit at the time of Booking, to reserve your items for your Event date. The final balance and a refundable Bond is due 2 weeks prior to your event date.

There is so much work that goes on behind-the-scenes leading up to an event, on the day and after the event. What may look like just a 2 hour ‘bump in’ at a venue is usually more like a 16-hour day for us, with packing vans & trailers, collecting furniture/props, bumping in, installation and then bumping out at midnight.

After we have packed up an event comes the cleaning. Each and every piece needs to be checked, cleaned and sorted.  Then there is the return of all the props to suppliers or storage.

Leading up to an event there is the styling consultation, site visits, design work, quoting, sourcing suppliers and items and the many hours of emails and client correspondence throughout the entire planning process.

It can take weeks, even months to source, upcycle, repair, design and build styling props for events.

We also dedicate a lot of time to our event run sheets. It’s so critical we get this part right, as these coordinate who does what and when, and also exactly what gets packed in our trailer for styling on event day.

Some other things that can influence our pricing are:

* Travel required

* How much furniture and decorating is needed

* Whether lighting is necessary

* Flowers and hanging greenery

* Size of the team needed

* How long it may take to set up

* How much time is allowed to set up (the less time for bump-in, the more staff required)

* Accessibility to the venue (is it quick & easy to load & unload, or is it up several flights of stairs?)

* Parking at the venue for van/truck access to unload furniture and props (if there is a large distance to walk to your Ceremony location or Venue,       extra staff will be needed and probably trolleys to transport everything too)

* Site visits

* Supplier management

* Bump out procedures

An Event Stylist will work with you to design, set-up and pack-down the styling for your Wedding or special event.

A Stylist will:

* Meet with you to discuss your ideas for how you would like your event to look and feel.

* Work collaboratively with you to create a unique and personal style for your event. If it is a Wedding, this will include the Ceremony and Reception. Including lighting, furniture, flowers and other props and special little touches.

* Hire out styling items from their own inventory of goods.

* Source specific items and props for you on request, including obtaining quotes from different suppliers.

* Have everything ready to go for the event day.

* Be there on the day – and often in the days leading up - to set up your styling and work their magic on the venue.

* Be there after the event to pack-down all of the props and styling.

Yes, absolutely! We are used to working with different budgets and coming up with creative ways to transform spaces and do things a bit differently. We are happy to work with any props or items you source or supply as well.    

Yes, we offer several different levels of service. We are always happy to have more hands on deck, so you are welcome to do as little or as much as you would like to. 

Many DIY brides tend to buy items in bulk for their table centerpieces, etc, with a view to selling them after their wedding. The market is currently quote flooded with these, so it is becoming harder to on-sell wedding items. This can result in you having to store these items for months, only to end up selling at a significantly lower price just to get rid of them.

A Stylist may already have these items, or can outsource them for you instead – often at less cost than buying them. They then set them up, pack them down and you don’t have to worry about storage, organisation, or the hassle of trying to resell them after your event.

Danielle and the Wild Heart Events team created the perfect setting for our garden wedding in March. On the day, she looked after everything so we could relax. We loved how every came together, with beautiful places for our guests to sit, eat, play, and dance.

I contacted Wild Heart Events 1.5 weeks before my wedding when my now husband and I decided the stress of styling our own wedding was not worth it. And I am SO GLAD I did. If it wasn’t for Wild Hearts I would not have had the wedding of my dreams. She transformed the space to complete BLISS and all in 1.5 weeks and to perfection. She was kind, supportive and a beautiful person to have around on my special day. You don’t realise the importance of having great souls around you on you wedding day until you do… they make the memory that much better. I’d recommend x1000000

How could I say no to a brief like this (even with such a short lead-time!). Your beautiful micro-Wedding was a dream to design and style! So glad we could take the pressure of you guys and you had such a fabulous day x

Danielle was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I didn't really have a vision for flowers before meeting with Danielle, although knew I wanted my flowers to tie in with my dress. Danielle took one look at my dress and absolutely blew me away with how perfectly she managed to compliment not only the dress, but the overall style and feeling for our day. All throughout the planning stages Danielle was helpful and worked with me to ensure the flowers fit within our chosen budget, I felt 100% supported by Danielle every step of the way. Not to mention her styling on the day was equally as brilliant - honestly took my breath away. If you are thinking about booking Danielle just do it! You will not regret it.
