Once upon a time, in the middle of the crazy 2020 lockdowns, something magical happened. A Love Fest was born, brought to life by Days Like These Events and 30 of the best wedding vendors out there. It was a cold and misty July, and the world was a bit upside down. Weddings were getting postponed left and right, and everyone was feeling a little lost and disconnected. But DLT saw an opportunity to create something different, something special.

And so the Love Fest was born.

For two glorious days we gathered at Bebeah Farm in Yarramalong, a DIY wedding venue, and let our creativity explode. The theme was BoHo, of course, expressed in all its forms. There were flowers, there were cakes, and there were dresses that made you want to twirl around with joy. And we all got to be there together, supplier and guest, friend and collaborator, celebrating each other's talents. It wasn't just a styled shoot, although we certainly did a pretty fab job at that. It was a chance to network, to connect, to share ideas and digest the unknown future of our industry. Every vendor there was a true legend, a master of their craft, and we all learned so much from each other. It was like getting a front-row seat to the most amazing show, where everyone was a star. There was music, cocktails, laughter and a few D&M's by the fire pit - because when you put 60 passionate people together on an open field during a partial lockdown (legally, we were allowed there for work purposes!) it was bound to happen. We were all in it together, making something beautiful. And the best part was, we got to bring that magic back out into the world, and share it with our clients and other vendor friends. We knew that no matter what 2020 brought, we had a piece of something truly special to hold onto.

Looking back on that Love Fest, it's hard to believe it was real. But the pictures don't lie - the love, the joy, the creativity, it's all right there. And we'll always be grateful for that opportunity to come together, to be inspired, to remind ourselves why we do what we do.
