PRIVATE WEDDING

Welcome to Doug and Jess’s special day, the couple’s dream was transformed into a magical reality with the help of Harry the hirer and Superbloom by The Style Co with food and beverages by Clover.

The ceremony was a dream come true. The romantic aisle, lined with fresh and preserved flowers, led to a handmade stage created by the groom, adorned with abundant florals. The moment Jess and Doug shared their first kiss, steeple bells rang in celebration. Natural striped umbrellas not only protected guests but also added to the enchanting atmosphere of the ceremony.

Pre-dinner drinks were served from a rustic parquetry service bar with a delightful mix of roses, phalaenopsis orchids and pampas grass.

In the Fairhaven marquee, a centrally suspended ubundence of natural dried gum and floral hung with feature rattan light fittings to create an enchanting and romanic ambiance. Festoon lighting added a touch of magic come dusk.

Wishbone and rattan dining chairs added texural and feminine detail when paired with linen draped tables.

FERRARI FACILITY

The Australian Grand Prix 2024, Ferrari activation by Bastion, was a true testament to the privilege and prestige associated with such a distinguished brand. Held at a venue custom-designed by Space Cube guests were transported to a slice of Italy, surrounded by the rich heritage and elegance that Ferrari embodies.

The venue’s design was nothing short of spectacular, meticulously curated to reflect Italian customs and aesthetics. Italian food and produce were prominently displayed, and the walls adorned with art and photography celebrating Italy and Ferrari’s storied history.

The furniture selection, curated by m.o.k. KREATIV, seamlessly blended contemporary design with traditional Italian influences, creating a cohesive flow from the indoor spaces to the outdoor entertainment areas. Key highlights included: classic bistro chairs, emulating the charm of Italian restaurants, showcased alongside custom-built seating areas with lush greenery and Italianinspired floral arrangements. Elegant tan leather and velvet stools and chairs surrounded terrazzo high bar and cafe tables, adding a touch of sophistication.

On the outdoor patio and lawn, terrazzo tables were paired with crisp white and metal patterned chairs and oversized white umbrellas, enhancing the outdoor dining experience. Plentiful greenery in planter boxes and floral displays brought a vibrant and refreshing touch, merging nature with the premium setting.

This project, a collaboration between m.o.k. KREATIV and Bastion, was not only exciting but also a significant honor, showcasing the trust and prestige associated with the Ferrari brand.
