Over the winter months, a|CREATE has been part of some incredible events. From conferences and styled shoots to cocktail functions, industry gatherings and beautiful weddings, there’s been plenty to celebrate.
Each project brought fresh ideas and opportunities to work with our clients and fellow creatives. Looking back, we’re proud of the settings our team created and the details that made each event feel personal.
We’re excited to share a few of our winter highlights with you. As we head into the final stretch of 2026, we’re looking forward to the events and celebrations still to come.
a|CREATE STYLED SHOOT – AUGUST 2026
// We loved partnering with The Venue at Denny Stables and exceptional suppliers for this styled shoot. Together, we explored fresh wedding looks, combining creative ideas with the furniture, décor and styling that a|CREATE brings to celebrations.
Collaborations like these give us the opportunity to experiment, exchange ideas and create beautiful settings together. Each supplier brought their own expertise, showing how a shared vision can grow through thoughtful details and unexpected combinations.
The overall styling balanced bold, layered details with softer, understated touches, bringing colour, texture and warmth into each setting. From expressive tablescapes to inviting lounge pockets, every space offered a fresh take on relaxed, contemporary wedding styling.
From expressive tablescapes to relaxed lounge settings, this shoot showcased the possibilities that emerge when creative suppliers work together. It also offered couples inspiration for bringing colour, texture and personality into their wedding day with a|CREATE

a|CREATE SEASON LAUNCH – AUGUST 2026
// Our Season Launch brought industry professionals, trusted partners and new clients together for a special day at our warehouse. Opening this creative space to the wider industry for the first time made the occasion especially meaningful.
The team styled the warehouse with settings inspired by winter, spring, summer and autumn. Each space brought our “Season Launch” theme to life, showcasing new stock and inspiring ideas for the upcoming event season.
DRINK served bubbly on arrival, while a beautifully curated grazing table gave guests something delicious to enjoy.
Throughout the day, guests explored the warehouse, discovered our furniture and décor collection, and discussed upcoming events with our creative team. Familiar faces reconnected, while new introductions opened opportunities for future collaborations. With its warm, personal atmosphere, our Season Launch marks the beginning of an annual gathering to discover, connect and be inspired.

WELCOME COCKTAIL – JULY 2026
// Africa Unlocked inspired a vibrant welcome cocktail at the Zeitz MOCAA Ocular Lounge and Events Space.
The theme gave a|CREATE room to play with colour, pattern and texture through the décor and styling. Lounge pockets combined bold furniture, patterned upholstery and woven accents, while timber surfaces added warmth.
Above, a|CREATE Augmented suspended light shades created a striking feature in orange, blue, yellow and green. Their varied shapes, woven textures and fringed details brought another layer of personality to the space. a|FLORAL paired lime-green orchids with pink anthuriums, adding fresh colour throughout the setting. Colourful candles and patterned vases carried the playful palette across the tables.
Together, a|CREATE’s décor and styling, a|FLORAL’s arrangements and a|CREATE Augmented’s lighting brought the theme to life. It was a concept we loved exploring, with each element contributing to a warm, expressive setting for the evening.

CORPORATE COCKTAIL – JULY 2026
// We joined Aleit Events at Norval Foundation for a corporate cocktail event.
Working within a restaurant gave a|CREATE the opportunity to style around the venue’s existing furniture and layout. We introduced terracotta chairs, navy sofas and neutral seating, with patterned cushions adding colour. These lounge pockets gave guests comfortable places to settle in and chat over cocktails.
To bring the look together, a|FLORAL combined pink orchids, burgundy blooms and tulips with moss and foliage. Taller arrangements in amber vases added height, while smaller pieces sat on the coffee tables. Peach candles and blue glassware carried the colour through the settings.
We enjoyed working alongside Aleit Events and exploring how our collection could work within the venue. It’s always exciting to work in different spaces and help clients see the possibilities beyond a traditional event venue.

INDUSTRY NETWORKING EVENT – JULY 2026
// The styling for Quoin Rock’s industry launch embraced winter warmth through earthy colours, natural materials and soft lighting.
Terracotta sofas brought richness to the space, balanced by cream upholstery and subtle green accents. Rattan seating, timber tables and woven rugs added texture and helped define the lounge pockets.
a|CREATE layered linen and velvet cushions in shades of rust, mustard, charcoal and green. Ceramic vases and wooden bowls kept the tables simple, while compact lamps added a warm glow.
As this was a networking event, we combined lounge, café and cocktail seating to encourage guests to move between settings. The layout gave people room to roam, join different conversations or sit down for a longer catch-up.
Together, these settings created a relaxed atmosphere for a winter evening with industry colleagues.

CHRISTI AND SAM’S WEDDING – MAY 2026
// Soft and romantic was the look and feel for Christi and Sam’s wedding at Laurent Venue.
Rain meant moving the ceremony to the backup venue location, where we created a setting that still reflected their vision. Our team adapted quickly, thinking on their feet to bring everything together in the alternative space. Wooden cross-back chairs lined an aisle framed by blush blooms and greenery, with the timber ceiling adding warmth.
The soft pink and white palette continued into the reception through pastel flowers, white linen and candles in clear glass holders. Overhead, white draping softened the room, while low floral arrangements framed the main table.
The venue’s timber lounge furniture offered comfortable places to gather, with white cushions and blush scatters tying into the reception colours. From the ceremony to the lounge pockets, the styling kept the couple’s romantic vision at the heart of the day.
