Wild Hearts 2022 Wedding Fair Part 1

Our highly anticipated Auckland fair returned and what a magical day it was! With a collective of over 60 vendors, incredible sponsors and an array of talented designers and industry leaders, this was an event not to be missed. A stunning setting right on Auckland’s waterfront, the creativity and talent on show was arguably our most impressive fair to date.

The Cloud was transformed into a truly beautiful space, and this is credit to our wonderful vendors, who took the time and effort to style their spaces to perfection. Our appreciation goes out to all involved in the day – the level of creativity was just outstanding!

Our VIPs were treated to a luxe space inside the Together Journal VIP Haven, beautifully styled with furniture by Flock Events and florals by Floral Stylist Co. The TJ haven was bustling with activity throughout the entirety of the day, with VIP guests sipping on delicious Scapegrace cocktails served by the team at Good Spirits. On offer were delicious canapés and oysters from the Cote Catering Oyster Cart, which proved to be hugely popular. Our Wild Hearts guests were lucky to get a first look at Together Journal Issue #28 which was officially launched at Wild Hearts.

Attendees were spoilt for choice with an afternoon filled with inspiration, fashion, food and incredible giveaways. On offer were fragrance workshops by Benny at World, the most beautiful cocktail bar from the team at Good Spirits, a fun photobooth from Modo Booth, cake tasting, mini cinema experiences and the return of our Industry Panel hosted by Greta Kenyon – Founder & Editor of Together Journal, where guests could enjoy talks from Karen Walker, Murray Crane from Crane Brothers, Bek Anderson from Chaos & Harmony and Benny Castles from WORLD Brand.

Stunning floral installations were on show by the talented Sue from Floral Stylist Co, a wildly beautiful floral entrance installation by Little Leaf Florals and a spectacular Runway floral installation by Cecelia Fox. Special mention also goes to Flock Events for the beautiful furniture throughout the venue and Arkade for the use of their chairs for Runway and h.studio for design and print of all our gorgeous fair signage.

A big thank you to the talented team at Hollow & Co who captured the below images for us. We also cannot wait to share more Wedding Fair action as well as Runway Recaps from Light & Type, State Of Grace Photography Bianca Hawke and Shelton Leong very soon!
