Angela & Themal — A Whimsical Garden Love Story
There are weddings that simply look beautiful — and then there are weddings that feel like a moment suspended in time. Angela & Themal’s celebration was the latter: a Wes Anderson‑inspired, artful ode to colour, texture and love that unfolded beneath the open sky and danced in memories long after the last guest departed.
Set against the lush backdrop of a garden ceremony at Glasshaus and an elegant reception on The Terrace, Botanic Gardens, every part of their day was infused with a sense of romantic intentionality.
A PALETTE WITH SOUL
From the first glance to the final dance, their aesthetic felt like poetry — soft pastels, playful yet sophisticated details, and design elements that felt at once personal and delightfully whimsical. The pastel palette and textured finishes echoed their personalities: artistic, warm and joyously authentic.
THOUGHFUL, PURPOSEFUL DETAILS
Styling has a beautiful way of telling a story and, in this celebration, every piece played its part. From the botanical florals by Tremella Botanicals to the handcrafted signage and stationery by Maison Paper, the visual narrative was seamless and soulful.
The stationery carried character, the florals bloomed with intention, and the linen from Simply Seated grounded reception tables in understated elegance. Each choice — vivid yet refined — made guests feel welcomed into an atmosphere that was both intimate and exuberant.
The florals were a true highlight of the day — lush, textural, and full of life. Tremella Botanicals designed bouquets and installations that felt effortlessly organic yet meticulously curated. From delicate roses and peonies to unexpected bursts of native blooms and trailing greenery, every arrangement told its own story, echoing the couple’s artistic vision.
But it wasn’t just the bouquets and ceremony arrangements that captured the imagination. Each reception table was designed as its own narrative, inspired by the guests seated there. Some tables featured soft, romantic blooms in muted pastels for long-time friends; others had bold, playful textures and vibrant flowers for family members with a spirited personality. The design of each table reflected its guests’ stories, creating an intimate, personalised experience that invited conversation and connection.
Special Touch — The Mendl’s Box Favour
A playful nod to the couple’s cinematic inspiration, every guest received a bespoke version of a Mendl’s box filled with sweet treats — a luxe, personalised favour that reflected Angela and Themal’s fun-loving personalities while tying beautifully into the whimsical atmosphere of the day.
THE BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS IN BETWEEN
The day was beautifully documented by Emotions and Math — their work capturing the quiet magic of connection, joyful laughter, and the rich details of each table, floral arrangement, and curated vignette. Each photograph tells a chapter of Angela and Themal’s story, preserving memories that are both intimate and cinematic.
Words From the Couple
Angela and Themal reflected warmly on their experience, expressing how the styling and design not only elevated the celebration but also honoured both of their cultural backgrounds. Their kind words about the team highlight the care and collaboration that shaped the day:
“Eliska and her team went above and beyond our expectations… They truly create memories to last a lifetime.”
Angela and Themal’s wedding was more than a beautiful event — it was a curated experience, full of personality, poetry, and thoughtful storytelling. It was such a joy to truly collaborate with the couple in designing the tables and florals, as they were so passionate about sharing the story of their relationship with each group of guests. Every table, floral arrangement, and bespoke Mendl’s box favour became part of this narrative, creating an immersive celebration that felt intimate, joyful, and completely theirs.
