Hi! We have recently purchased a winery on Lake Taupo in New Zealand and are turning it into a wedding venue. One thing we would like to offer our guests is a bridal suite to stay in after their big day. I also think brides will like it as a place to get ready with their bridesmaids. We don't really have a theme in mind but were thinking a lake house feel or monochrome style then we could use some black and white photos of the vineyard? Ideally we will have a king size bed and some sort of couches or bean bags something in the room. Some sort of novelty factor might be nice too to entice guests like swings. Photo attached is mid-way through the jibbing process. Any advice on colour schemes, furniture styling or design are appreciated. Windows are really small at the moment but we will look to enlarge them next year when we get the cash flow up and running. The other photo is our spot and the house is just to the left at the end of the vines. Any suggestions on exact pieces or purchase would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi Angela, this space has mega potential. For starters it has fantastic symmetry. However as the space is very long I would recommend you break it down into 2 zones. The front zone as the place for bride and bridesmaids to get ready and the end wall zone as the sleeping area. Divide the space with a set of luxurious pooling drapes, and keep the lighting in the sleeping zone dimmable wall hung bedside lights and and a conversation piece chandelier. Go for warm colours and a touch of gold. A high oversized shallow tufted bedhead will add luxe. A upmarket Bohemian theme could work well. The bridal preparation zone needs to be well lit, (daylight) bars, with floor to ceiling opposable mirrors, (side lit also). Remember this is a functioning space, there needs to be ample hanging for dresses/clothing, clear space, formalish seating (no bride or bridesmaid wants to get stuck in a low lounging sofa and need a hand-up. Have sideboard space for jewellery, flower holders etc and keep the colour palette very neutral, a blackwhite, and mid range neutral grey will work with any bridalware. If you would like any further advice you are welcome to contact me. As an interior designer I often work alongside a styling company that specialises in weddings and other events.

    I am impressed by the view I see in these images attached to you. But I'm sure the real beauty is beyond the camera because the landscape seems to be perfect for a magical event like a wedding. Certainly, the design that would suit this cute place would be elegant, romantic, and minimalist. Of course, the colors I would suggest would be white, gold, maybe a little purple for color accents. I hope that the bride and groom's clothes be chosen in combination with the decor. I suggest the to wear bride a veiled silk dress, and the groom a modern gentleman's guru costume, in warm colors.
