There’s something truly special about a garden wedding – fresh air, lush greenery, and that golden light hitting just right. Shanaye and Ben’s celebration at the dreamy Heaven Gardens ticked every box. Romantic, relaxed and joy-filled, their day was full of beautiful moments and thoughtful wedding details. With a neutral colour palette and eco-friendly touches, they created a timeless vibe that felt equal parts elegant and effortless. Add in all the wedding essentials (plus a few extra fun touches) and you’ve got a day guests won’t forget in a hurry.
Everybody wants their guests to be comfortable – especially during the ceremony. Parasols and fans are the ultimate garden wedding essentials, and Shanaye and Ben had it covered. They styled their day with our chic wedding fans and ivory parasols, keeping their loved ones cool while also adding an extra layer of style. These beauties weren’t just practical – they looked stunning in the setting, especially in the hands of guests seated in the gardens. The parasols made for some incredible photo moments too, with the bridesmaids strolling through the grounds holding them high. Total main character energy.
Let’s talk about the kiss. The moment Shanaye and Ben sealed the deal was straight out of a movie – the perfect dip and kiss, surrounded by lush florals and a pop of confetti from our Sherbet Confetti Cannons. It was magic. Then, as they made their way back down the aisle, guests tossed the The Ultimate Confetti Bundle in White, creating the most enchanting “just married” scene. They really got the best of both worlds – a dramatic, joy-filled cannon moment, followed by a soft flutter of eco-friendly confetti. The result? A dreamy aisle exit and wedding photos that belong on a Pinterest mood board.

Not ones to miss a chance for a bit of fun, Shanaye and Ben brought out the Sherbet confetti cannons again during bridal party portraits – and they absolutely went off (literally). These cannons are always a good time, bringing laughter, excitement, and that little burst of colour that takes your photos from cute to unforgettable. They’re the perfect way to lift the energy, especially after the formalities are done and everyone’s ready to celebrate.
If you’re looking for the perfect way to wrap up your dream wedding, take notes from Shanaye and Ben. Picture this: the stars are out, your favourite song is playing, and your nearest and dearest are lining up with sparklers to send you off in style. They used our 70cm Extra Long Wedding Sparklers – the perfect grand finale touch, with an epic 2.5-minute burn time. That means there’s plenty of time for every guest’s sparkler to be lit at once, and no stress about missing the shot. The couple made their grand exit with arms in the air, faces glowing, and sparklers lighting the way. It was joyful, warm, and the ultimate way to say goodbye to the best day ever.
From start to finish, Shanaye and Ben nailed the balance between effortless elegance and laid-back fun. Their day was filled with intentional touches that made a big impact – from keeping guests cool with fans and parasols, to capturing unforgettable memories with eco-friendly confetti and sparklers. If you're planning your own dream wedding and want to add a little extra magic, we highly recommend stocking up on these wedding essentials. Sometimes it’s the little things that create the biggest moments.
