80th Birthday Celebration for the Great Rosie

80th Birthday Celebration for the Great Rosie

In the Booth Adelaide sends a massive ‘Happy Birthday’ to the Great Rosie! Rosie celebrated her 80th birthday at Kooyonga Golf Club. The birthday girl rang in her milestone 80th birthday in absolute style with a Great Gatsby themed event. The party was complete with champagne tower, light up letters and of course, a photo booth from In the Booth Adelaide!

To suit the theme, Rosie chose our ‘Brush Strokes Blush’ print design in our ‘Traditional Logo’ print style. Rosie and her guests took full advantage of our Guest Cam feature. Additionally there was a separate arch for photos outside the booth! We love that all the moments from the night were able to be captured both in the booth and via GuestCam. To complete the Gatsby Booth, we provided a black entry curtain, gold shimmer backdrop with our glam props. Video message, Slo Mo, and GIF were also in full swing for the night.

Milestone 80th Birthday Party

Guests jumped on board with the Great Gatsby theme for Rosie’s party, donning flapper dresses, pearls, feather headpieces and gloves. The birthday girl wore a stunning blue sequinned dress complete with feature headpiece and gloves. You could even spot the occasional 1920’s gangsters getting around the room – in character of course!

Rosie chose to set the tables with photos and vintage styled feather pieces, showcasing some of the most important times of her life.  We especially loved the extras Rosie chose to include in her special day, such as the incredible champagne tower! As the night went, the room was filled with speeches, dancing, music and a whole lot of love. We asked – ‘what more could you possibly throw into a party?’ and of course, there was more! Rosie was lucky enough to have her loved ones write a poem to celebrate her, this was presented on screen for all guests to join in.

Rosie, we celebrate you! Thank you so much for inviting In the Booth Adelaide along. It was truly an honour to help celebrate your 80th birthday!

Wedding Vendor Selection

Wedding vendor selection to enhance your wedding celebration is both daunting and exciting. On the plus side, there’s so many vendors and there’s no shortage of choice. On the down side, there’s so many vendors and so much choice 😉

From price to product, choosing the right wedding vendor can really make or break an awesome celebration.  Here are our best tips for choosing the right wedding vendor for your big day.

Read plenty of reviews

Whether it be on Google, Easy Weddings, ABIA or from John and Nelly down the road, look for reviews not crafted by the business owner. Genuine feedback and reviews from past customers will always give you a great idea of what to expect on the day. Trust past client experience to give you an honest opinion – the good, the bad and the ugly!

Wedding Vendor

Reputation is everything

We’ll say it once and we will say it again! A vendor with a great industry reputation is the right vendor for you. Choose the wedding vendor that is experienced and preferably has been to your venue before. Don’t select a vendor who thinks they should be paid to practice. Your venue refers certain vendors for a reason. Chat to them and find out why.

Wedding Vendor

Product quality

Take a good look at the product offering. Does this visually meet your requirements? Ensure your vendor is using high quality equipment to give you a high quality experience. Let’s use photo booths as an example. At In the Booth we use a professional DSRL digital camera to capture your images in high resolution. An iPad or webcam camera will not produce high-quality photographs.

Wedding Vendor

Inclusions & hidden extras

Make sure you check out all the inclusions that your vendor is able to offer for your hire period. Our photo booths are all inclusive in regards to our hire packages, meaning no sneaky extra fees or additional costs. For example, it’s common for a guest book to be an added extra with photo booth hire.

Wedding Guest Book

Wedding vendor support

Will your vendor be taking care of the delivery and set up on the day of your event or will you be left to do this yourself? Will someone be on hand if a guest has questions? With so many exciting things happening on your big day, the last thing you need to be doing is running around trying to put together your balloon garland!

Wedding Vendor

Communication

Don’t make excuses for your wedding vendor communication! Taking weeks to respond to your queries is not acceptable even if they’ve “been busy”. Customer service is an essential part of event planning. There’s always someone waiting so planning can move forward. Quality vendors don’t keep their customers waiting.

Wedding Photo Booth

Coral Sea Resort Wedding for Jase & Tash

Coral Sea Resort provided the spectacular backdrop to Jase and Tash’s spring wedding. Coral Sea Resort is really the epitome of an island wedding without the trouble of departing the mainland! Decorations for your wedding are almost pointless when your reception backdrop are swaying palm trees and a spectacular sunset over the bay.

Airlie Beach is a tourist mecca located in. the Whitsunday region of Queensland. Known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Islands, it’s approximately 1,1000km north of Brisbane.

At Coral Sea couples have the enviable choice between the Jetty, beach or Upper Lawn for their ceremonies. Reception options expand even further with the options of combined beach and lawn, the Jetty, the Jetty Landing or the Ballroom or Cabana.

In the Booth Whitsundays at Coral Sea Resort

In the Booth Whitsundays has been providing photo booth hire at Coral Sea for over a decade. We never tire of a reception on the sand under the beautiful lanterns! An outdoor reception is made for Airlie Beach. With the incredible weather and scenery, why would you ever want to be inside? Jase and Tash thought the same thing as their reception was hosted in our favourite Beach & Lawn combination.

Guests enjoyed drinks and canapes and snapped away in the photo booth as the sun went down. It also wouldn’t be a Coral Sea Resort wedding without a sunset photo on the swing! High heels not required as Jase and Tash’s guests enjoyed a barefoot afternoon in the white Airlie Beach sand.

Jase and Tash chose our classic combination of ivory backdrop and ‘Infinity’ print style. Having the booth outdoors while guest mingle means photos were snapping from right after their ceremony all through the evening. Guests were off and away with their traditional photo booth prints as well as snapping dozens of Guest Cams against the stunning bay backdrop.

Memory Table Ideas

Memory table ideas are a common Google search for our couples. Memorial tables have been growing in popularity in recent years and we certainly understand why. One of the hardest things we have to deal with on special days is facing the reality of some of those dearest to us will not be in attendance. Honouring the memory of those no longer with us keep their presence close while we celebrate, knowing how much they would love to be there with us.

There are so many beautiful memory table ideas available for how to plan and set up your space. Make sure you take into account the physical space available at your venue. Traffic flow is also another consideration. Make sure you table is set up in an area of your wedding where your guests will have the space to pause and reflect. Right next to the main entrance will not foster this. Try to select a quiet corner or alcove. Your venue will have experience with previous weddings and events and be able to guide you.

Let’s take a look at the various components of a memorial table and how you can customise one to honour your loved ones.

Signage

Etsy has endless beautiful signage options for introducing your memorial table to your guests. It can also be a challenge to come up with the perfect wording so you’ll find plenty of ideas and customisable options.

Photos

Photos of your loved ones are often the best way to have a physical memory for your guests to visit. Even though the photos may be all shapes, sizes and conditions, you can select similar frames in a cohesive colour scheme to tie everything together. Small labels with names and dates can also be added so your guests know your relationship.

Lanterns and candles

Soft lighting such as lanterns and candles are a beautiful addition to your memory table. You may like to have a small candle per photo or one statement piece in the middle.

Florals

Talk with your florist about a small additional bouquet to suit your memorial table. Alternatively, perhaps there are flowers that are special to you and your relationship with your loved one? If your Nan was famous for her home-grown roses, a bouquet of her favourite varieties would be super special.

Trinkets

Likewise, some small items can make sweet additions to your memorial table. For example, a golf ball or two if your pop played golf every Sunday. Perhaps a special item they hand made for you. All you need to do is think about your relationship with your loved one and the ideas are sure to flow.

Pets

Our passed furbabies can of course have a special place on the table too. A collar or name tag and a favourite photo will communicate the special place in your heart your pet will always have.

Reserved ceremony seating

This is a sweet additional idea to your memorial table. Reserved seating at your ceremony for special people who are attending from heaven is a beautiful touch. You can also find lovely and customisable reserved seating signage on Etsy.
