What’s IN and OUT — according to The Make Haus

Earlier this month we got in touch with Dani Dean — CEO of The Make Haus, good friend and one of Mona Farm’s recommended creatives. After a good yarn with Dani, we had one major question - what’s IN and what’s OUT for weddings this year?..She had some answers for us.

A one-of-a-kind multidisciplinary creative studio, The Make Haus is very familiar with the Mona Farm grounds. We’ve worked with Dani and her incredible team on a number of occasions now (Maddie & Angus, Michele & Josh and Brigitte & Matt..). Professional, exceptionally creative and genuinely lovely - we co-sign on anything The Make Haus does.

Here’s Dani on what’s IN and OUT for 2023.

IN

Sculptural food - think baguette sculptures

Red wine tower  

Doing flowers differently - sustainable, bold, unique 

Day time ceremonies + receptions - think long lunches, midday ceremonies and dancing at dusk

Rocking colour, a departure from the luminous white palette

Veils, bows and hair diamonds

A couple’s ‘first look’

Surprise performances

Secret venues 

Out of the box table shapes 

Roaming candid photographer

OUT

Monogrammed moments

Being fashionably late

Bridal parties 

Matched outfits, let’s celebrate style!

Photo Booths

International adventures — local is what we love  

Long long loong sleepy speeches 

One-time use paper stationary 

The cake cutting 

Sombre aisle songs

Polaroids
