    ABOUT US

    WHAT WE DO

    Lily and Bramwell is an exciting new event hire company for the styling of weddings, events and photoshoots. We are located in Newcastle, New South Wales but we can service Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter Valley and beyond! Our collection of products is an eclectic mix of old and new, centred on one off vintage finds. We are constantly searching for fresh ideas and new products to add to our collection. If you are after a particular item that we don’t stock, we will try our hardest to source it for you. We’d love to meet you to discuss your needs for your wedding, event or photoshoot and to show you around our studio. Please contact us to make an appointment.

    WHO WE ARE

    We are Nhan and Catherine, the team behind Lily and Bramwell. Lily and Bramwell is a labour of love that started long before we opened for business in October 2011. It started with a sweet proposal on the Newcastle foreshore and subsequent visions of the most wonderful, personal and stylish wedding. We found the planning process to be lots of fun, but also challenging – particularly the sourcing and creating of the small details that would make our wedding “ours”. It all came together in the end, our wedding day on the second of April 2011 was beyond wonderful and definitely worth the hard work.

    By then, we had caught the wedding bug well and truly. After it was all over, we couldn’t walk into an antiques store without being inspired or look at a wedding blog without feeling a little forlorn. We also saw the need for stylish and original event hire in Newcastle. So we decided to open Lily and Bramwell, named after Catherine’s grandparents, Lilian and Bramwell Jones. Lily and Bramwell is the sort of event hire company we would have been excited about in the lead up to our wedding, we really hope you are excited about it too.




    New bentwood chairs

    We are so excited our beautiful pressed seat bentwood chairs have arrived and are ready for hire. They came all the way from the Thonet factory in Europe. We just love the detail in the seat base pattern! This is what our antique bentwood chairs would have looked like many years ago. We have plenty of bentwood chairs available so why hire chair covers when you can hire these for your ceremony and reception?
