For our first ever event in the beautiful bay city of Tauranga, we at Wild Hearts were overwhelmed by the incredible creativity, talent and amazing personalities the region had to offer. We featured a full recap of our amazing vendors earlier this week so make sure to check it out here if you missed it.
Our Wild Hearts Runway Shows are always highly anticipated and feature an incredible line-up of talented bridal and fashion designers, with amazing hair and makeup teams behind the scenes. Tauranga’s runway show took place within the beautiful stone garden walls of Ataahua, with bentwood seats supplied by the lovely LL Furniture Hire, clear marquee by Twelve Tables and incredible floral installations by our super-talented florist vendors- On My Hand, Honeybee Wild Flowers, and Our Flowers.
We had DJ Highkings spinning live tunes as the stunning models from MT Models and Red 11 took to the runway, showcasing an incredible range from Miss Crabb, Hayes Bridal, BLAK Bridesmaids, Boho Bridal, Leave Her Wilder Bridesmaids, Bluebelle Bridal, Barkers, L’eto Bridal, Jessica Bridal and the flower-girl cuties that stole the show in Little Trelise!
We were thrilled to see our Wild Hearts x Chaos & Harmony shoe collaboration on the runway too! The gorgeous ‘Opulence’ shoe, featuring a star-sprinkled strap detail which are now available for pre-order right here.
Jewels by Zoe & Morgan topped off the entire looks so beautifully, and check out that incredible foliage crown created by Gypsy from The Vase!
The show was a beautiful success and we couldn’t have done it without an amazing and passionate backstage team, all streamlined by backstage manager Georgia from our Wild Hearts crew. Makeup artists Natalie Dawson, Sophie Garth, and Chloe Hooper created beautiful looks for the girls, with Victoria Spain as our talented hairstylist.
Capturing the magic was photographers Marion Heurteboust, Amy Bailey and Leanna from Hill Collective, and the stunning video was created by Jason from Bad Panda Productions.
Again, a huge shout-out goes to our wonderful sponsors- the beauties behind our VIP haven: Together Journal, Miss Crabb, Veuve Clicquot, Antipodes Sparkling Water, No Biggie Food, Two Foxes Styling, Flowerette, Paper Darling and Lofthouse Garden. The bar was run by Our Place Magazine and Mount Brewing Co, and our furniture partner was the wonderful LL Furniture Hire.
