The Anitbes beverage dispenser by Dunlin would be used to showcase a lovely pink lemonade at my wedding, with bouncing raspberries and mint. The cake stand and dome would be perfect for my buttercream wedding cake topped with fresh pink peonies. I would love these two Dunlin Home products to style my vintage sweet country wedding, they would be the perfect pieces to tie in our theme, and really add a special elegant touch to our wedding reception for our guests to admire and enjoy.
The wire letter holder would be perfect for holding cards and the French Apothecary Vase & Stand would make an amazing feature! Dunlin has gorgeous things!
I would use the Dunlin Antibes Beverage Dispenser to serve my mother’s traditional Fruit Punch with her punch bowl as an ice bucket alongside. The Cake Stand and Dome would present Greta Anna’s Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. The setting will be a tropical oasis
FRENCH APOTHECARY VASE & STAND: Fresh lavander and herbs in the Vase as decoration, would also use it for “The Sand Ceremony” during the wedding.
ANTIBE BLUE & WHITE CERAMIC PITCHER: would be the centrepeice of tables, filled with fresh large colourful flowers and hang vintage tags from the handle.
The Anitbes beverage dispenser, what a perfect vessel for a delightful thirst quencher
Fresh fruity Pimms – the perfect hangover cure, you betcha’
A recovery party I will hold, at my quaint country abode.
With cakes at centre stage on their gorgeous stand and dome.
So with this scene set in your mind, please hear my verse and make the prize mine!
OMG im in ♥! its too hard to pick only 2 things but other than the items shown here i ♥ the china berry crates and the handblown glasses! i have the perfect event coming up for my birthday to use the winning prices for! a doughnut brunch w/ a decorate your own doughnut station! id use the stand for mini doughnuts of course, the platter too, and the dispenser for either the iced coffee or mimosas! i sure i hope i win! xoxo
I think these beautiful products would fit perfectly into the them of our wedding- a country winery wedding with vintage aspects.
I would use the beautiful Antibes beverage dispenser to serve up our personalised cocktails- a pink lemonade mix and a traditional lemonade mix while mingling amongst guests playing lawn games.
I would use the cake stand to serve up delicious treats as apart of a dessert table with our wedding cake. We will be serving up my Grandmother’s all famous passionfruit tarts.
I adore the hand blown glass terrarium, there is something very magical about air plants and what a stunning way to display them!
Oh and the Stanley Copper pendants are just DIVINE! What a stunning way to light up a space.
I would use the Montauk recycled glass beverage dispenser to hold the Bundy Rum (actually I would need 3, 1 for rum, 1 for coke, 1 for dryging – its classier to have a choice) and the antibes glasses & caddy to carry my aforementioned rum, being too busy doing bride stuff to go back refills all the time. AWSOME!!!
LOVE your Antibes Beverage Dispenser! We’ll fill this Beauty with Frozen Bliss Love Punch. Watching the creamy flow from the faucet, swirling into our heirloom cocktail glasses, knowing there’s more to come. Mouth watering tingles on the tounge. The Wooden Tasting Spoons are perfect for many mouths wanting a taste.
Oh my! Under oak trees fluttering with handmade pom poms there is a bowery-wood-dining-table and montauk-antiqued-nickel-chair’s. Fresh air, vintage crockery, lemonade, warm tomato & gruyere tarts and fresh crusty bread. Throws and cushions as the sun goes down, laterns glowing. Smiles, laughter, family and happiness.
With so many choices it was hard to decide- but to complement my theme the Aspen Bronze Candlestick as my centrepieces would be perfect. Add to that the Dunlin Antibes Beverage Dispenser for some delicious cocktails and amazing!
My favourite things have the be the Dunlin Antibes beverage dispenser and cake stand!
I would style my wedding service with the drink dispenser in the gardens of the chapel for my guests to help themselves to refreshments!
I would use the cake stand to style my orange and poppyseed cake which will be topped with lime green flowers!
I AM NOT A GREEDY GIRL but DUNLIN does not make things easy! As my Visa lays cowering after my discovery of the site, I am gravitating towards the interesting combinations of SAIPUA SOAPs. But I know I will be starting a piggy bank for those STANLEY COPPER PENDANT lights.
Firstly, definitely the cake stand and dome. At our wedding we’re having a gorgeous layer cake made by my mum, and decorated with roses grown by me, my mum and my grandmother. The elegant simplicity of the Dunlin cake stand would show it off perfectly!
Secondly I would have to pick the tasting spoons. My fiance and I are planning to make preserves to give away as favours, and it would be lovely to have these beautiful spoons that guests could use to take little samples of the different jams and chutneys.
Dunlin products are divine! My brother and his fiancé have asked me to style their wedding buffet. I would use multiple Hand Blown Glass Hanging Terrariums’ to hold single buds of peonies and hang over the buffet. The Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser would contain the blushing bride cocktail.
It was a difficult decision but my two favourite accessories from DUNLIN are of course the Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser and the Vermont Marble Cheese Knives that will showcase local cheeses. These two additions will accentuate the raw, earthy feel that I am trying to create at my wedding.
A touch of the Hamptons turns my dream spring afternoon wedding day into reality. With the arrival of the blissfully happy newlyweds, guests enjoy mouthwatering canapes whilst relaxing on the deck overlooking the gorgeous hinterland of Byron Bay. Refreshing guava champagne bellinis served from the Antibes beverage dispenser help to toast the married couple and to bring a totally relaxed atmosphere to the gorgeous day. A scrumptious wedding cake, a simple extended tier design with dusty pink and dark berry David Austin roses showcases the Dunlin cake stand before guests dance the night away.
Perfect!
The Dunlin Home range is stunning, just classic and elegant, so true to a Polka Dot Bride’s wedding. Our guests will be sipping on my secret iced tea recipe (I told Mum it would get me married some day), which would look devine as a centrepiece presented in the Antibes beverage dispenser. Our homemade lemon meringue wedding cake would display so beautifully in the protection of the cake stand and dome..
I have fallen in love with the Montauk Recycled Glass Beverage Dispenser! I would use it to make a watermelon, berry and mint mocktail. It would sit on a beautiful wooden table in the middle of our summer forest wedding. I would display vodka next to it so the mocktail could be transformed by our guests into something a bit stronger. On the trees over hanging the table I would hang Hand Blown Glass Hanging Terrarium with Sisal Rope filled with wildflowers in watermelon and berry colours. Love! This shop is going on my wedding registry!
The Black Souk Basket – sitting beautifully in the grass at our outdoor ceremony with fans and parasols for guests resting inside. The Antibes Blue and White Ceramic Pitcher – perfect for the foot-washing ceremony. Each would add to the unspoiled rustic romance of our wedding – a day to remember!
Classic white Cake stand with Dome and Fog Linen Table Cloth in grey and white stripes! DUNLIN’s classic stand fits perfectly with my wedding of grey, white and fresh greens. The Fog Linen Table Cloth to be draped over the Bridal party table, a piece to use for future celebrations!
I love the relaxed and comfortable style of the Dunlin Home range – perfect for our summer wedding in the national park in February.
The Large Wire Mesh Pots would work wonders to house the sprays of native flowers lining the isle.
The Montauk Antiqued Nickel Chair is the perfect chair to rough up the stark white cloths on our dinner tables. The tones of the nickel and wood are the ideal mix of natural and modern to keep with the casual and contemporary tone of our day.
The Antibes drink dispenser & French Apothecary vase are just divine! Love their old-world charm for my antique-themed wedding!
I cant go past the MONTAUK RECYCLED GLASS BEVERAGE DISPENSER to serve a signature cocktail and the CAPE COD COPPER CARRIAGE LANTERN as a card holder
Both the Antibes Beverage Dispenser and the Rivington Glass & Steel Drink Dispenser would work perfectly for my very girly high tea Hens day – as would the Cake Stand! LOVE! (pre-wedding registry perhaps?! ha!)
Im having a small modern vintage themed wedding, where half the guests will be under 18yrs. The cake stand would be fabulous for the kids when they’re decorating their own cupcakes and the beverage dispenser would allow them to grab their own drinks with ease. They would look fabulous!
In a garden party blossoming with pink and cream peonies. Filled with old world charm and rustic ambience. The antibes glasses and caddy and antibes beverage dispenser will work perfectly for my homegrown lemonade table and be perfect for picnics for years to come.
My sister is throwing me the most beautiful Bridal Shower where the theme is of course all things pink and delicious. Along a long table, dressed with white linen there will be a buffet of treats… the Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser we would fill with homemade pink lemonade and would feature among cupcakes, a strawberry tower, mini pavlovas, finger sandwiches and many more yummies. To accompany the beautiful dispenser we of course would need a couple of sets of the matching Antibes Glasses with caddies. Filled glasses would be handed around in caddies with the occasional glass having a small posy of soft pink flowers in it which would match vases of flowers on the long table. The Dunlin Home pieces would give our pretty Bridal Shower an absolute lift and be super stylish.
I would choose the Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser to serve refreshments to my guests after the ceremony. It would look beautiful in the garden setting. Also, the Handblown Tall Cordial Glasses would be gorgeous alongside the dispenser. Perfect for a spring afternoon wedding in the mountains.
The sun shining, bunting in the trees. A beachside wedding. Apothecary vase holds my DIY bouquet whist Sangria in the Antibes drink dispenser serves my new husband and i with our guests. Such beautifully styled bliss!
So difficult to choose, but I would say the hand blown terrariums strung up everywhere, and the sculptor’s large taupe pitcher, on every table filled with gorgeous fresh flowers.
Our wedding ceremony will be held outdoors in summer – our guests are going to need some seriously thirst quenching drinks courtesy of the Dunlin Antibes Beverage Dispenser! The dispenser would look at home sitting on top of the Campaign Breakfast Table (no tablecloth needed with such a lovely wood grain).
Oh my god!! How did I not know about this company before!?
I am loving the French Apothecary vase and stand – a few of these would look fantastic on the bridal table with some gorgeous natives in them.
Also, the Montauk Macramé Hanging Candleholders are just so pretty, and the fact that they hang is perfect for the outside arbor I want at my wedding.
My two favourite products are the Montauk Recycled Glass Beverage Dispenser and the Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser. Our ceremony is outdoors and at the back I would have a wooden table with a few of these beverage dispensers set up, some sitting on the table and others on wooden boxes to stagger the height. Inside each would be one of our favourite cocktail or mocktail. Alongside the dispensers would be jars with pink and white paper straws for the drinks to be served in.
For a wedding featuring good grazing and company, Antibes Blue and White Serving plates would be piled high with rustic, tasty morsels with a tiered cake served on the Cake Stand and Dome, the dome set beside it, filled with an Eton mess of cream folded with strawberries and meringue.
We are serving apple cider at our wedding being that our wedding is in the fall, so this beverage dispencer is perfect for our cider. We having candy/sweet station at our wedding as well so the cake stand would be perfect for our candy apples to be placed on it! We are so appreciative for this giveaway, and would love to win these items for our wedding, this would help us out some much! Thank you for opportunity to enter this giveaway, you all are so sweet! Good luck to everyone who has entered this giveaway!
Our wedding will be a little celebration of Australia and local produce as we have a lot of family and friends coming from overseas. I’d emphasize our beach lifestyle by styling the hanging Terrarium with sand and coastal plants, and set everything glowing with the Cape Cod Carriage Lanterns.
Our September wedding will be at my primary school, and in keeping with our vintage-meets-industrial school theme, I’d use the French Apothecary Vase & Stand for our floral centerpieces (resting on vintage chemistry books, of course), and the Dunlin Antibes Beverage Dispenser to serve our delicious fruity wedding punch.
Simply gorgeous range – the Cake Stand and Dome will feature in the home made dessert buffet, holding years worth of family recipies. The Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser would be simply perfect to star during the Cocktail Hour serving my father’s secret punch. These pieces would be perfect for our vintaage / rustic themed wedding.
The Dunlin Event collection is absolutely divine! We’re having a vintage themed wedding at a vineyard, and the ‘Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser’ would be an elegant addition to our non-alcohol drinkers at our ‘sparking bar’ and the ‘Hand Blown Glass Lantern – Verre Collection’ would definitely help set the atmosphere!
The Dunlin Antibes Beverage Dispenser, as well as the cake stand is a personal favourite of mine. Both would be a classy touch to our ethereal, peony themed garden wedding in the Southern Highlands.
In the Estate they have a beautiful large weeping beech tree which leads guests down a secret path to the garden ceremony. My idea was to have an infused lemonade stand for guests as refreshments as a perfect little extra touch.
As my wedding is going to be in Malaysia next year I’m going to need things that will be easy to transport – especially decor.
twenty or so Montauk candle holders would be perfect hanging from the railings of the jetty off the beach where we will be married and the natural baskets would be a great storage solution for guests’ shoes as they step onto the beach.
Oh I’m obsessing over the Antibes Beverage Dispenser! Win or lose, I simply need one of these for my cocktail reception…
I like the Sonoma wooden kitchen tools and the apple green milk jug, and I think they’d be perfect for decorating the ‘rustic’ event I’m planning.
I just love the Montauk Macrame Hanging Candleholder and the large Sculptor’s pitcher. What a funky vintage chic way to decorate a boring beige house!
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I would like to have a breakfast table set up for my bridesmaids and I for a nice relaxing sit down breakfast before we start getting ready for my wedding. I would fill a sculptor’s large white pitcher with baby breath and place this in the middle of the table and I would fill a number of sculptor’s large white platters with sandwiches and cakes for us munch on.
The GORGEOUS Montauk beverage dispenser dispensing Amaretto sours with cherries floating in the top, surrounded by loads of the Montauk macrame hanging candleholders to lend a beautiful flickering glow to the evening…
To serve pink granita with vodka infused with musk,
The Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser is definitely a MUST!
And what better way to complete your wedding day,
Than curling up with hubby in a Matteo Quatrefoil quilt.. and dream, dream away..
Swoon!
My favourites are the glass beverage dispensers – a fruit-filled Pimms cocktail would look lovely in these. Also the Cape Cod copper carriage lantern would be perfect in the evening.
Picture this: timber refreshment tables (each with a white lace placemat). One has zinc garden planters on either side, lined with white linen and filled with orchard apples and large lemons.
Another has a watering can centrepiece, wrapped in crisscrossing white twine, filled with pastely eucalyptus leaves, wattle and bottlebrushes.
I have Greek heritage, but won’t have a traditional Greek wedding and want to honour two traditions. Instead of church candles, I’ll line the aisle with CAPE COD CARRIAGE LANTERNS. I’ll also place bags of five sugared almonds on the ANTIBES BLUE AND WHITE CERAMIC SERVING PLATE for my guests.
My best friend is a wonderful lady! As a bridesmaid I would love to provide her with something that would make her wedding day the most special day of her life. The Beverage Dispenser and Cake Stand would do just that, making her Pimms filled drink dispenser dreams come true!
Blissfully happy bride and groom exchange vows on a lush green golf course in the beautiful northern NSW. Delicious homestyle canapes are served from the Antibes serving plates wilst the happy couple are whisked away for photos on a golf buggy with the bridal party. A wonderful thirst-quenching punch is served on the autumn afternoon from the Antibes drink dispenser whilst guests congrigate and begin the celebrations.
I LOVE the beverage dispenser. I can just picture it at my wedding reception filled with a delicious & colourful summer cocktail. Also loving the cand stand & dome. This would look amazing with some pretty little cupcakes on the dessert table!
Having a vintage theme, that gorgeous beverage dispenser would look divine with some chilled pink lemonade, at my handmade lemonade stand, which will be next to my vintage cake and candy buffet! Mismatched cake stands and cake plates galore! Perfection!!
Summer Sangria Sundays! The Dunlin Antibes Beverage Dispenser would be the perfect piece for our backyard tradition. Couches on the front lawn, neighbours dropping by and a fresh summer breeze. Slice up the GF Orange and Poppy seed cake on our new Cake stand and dome… delicious!!!
I have been searching for the most devine glass dispenser….and here it is! the Dunlin Antibes beverage dispenser, just perfect to sit amongst my collection of mason jar glasses filled with “I DO BREW” surrounded by gorgeous Verre collection handblown glass lanterns hanging in the old fig tree. LOVE!
I’m in love with the Aspen Bronze Candlestick and the Antibes Glass Beverage Dispenser. The candlesticks would be perfect over the fireplace for my rustic barn wedding. The drink dispenser will look beautiful filled with pink grapefruitfruit cocktail. I am sure the guest won’t mind drinking from it as well.
My bubbly and wonderful amigo is planning a Mexican themed wedding fiesta! The abundance of colours and gorgeous decorations will no doubt typify her AmAZiNg character!
Beverages in striking hues (inspired by the Dunlin Vintage Cocktails book) would look fantastic served in the stunning Antibes beverage dispenser!
I would LOVE my sister to enjoy this beautiful prize pack at her Wedding! It would fit perfectly with the theme she is planning…. and I will get awesome bridesmaide points if I could provide it for her. Please help me be the best bridesmaide ever!
I love the French Apothecary Vase and Stand, that together with the Verre Collection Glass Lanterns would make the best centrepiece for the tables ever!
After our breath taking first kiss, I may leave my groom slightly parched and in need of a quick refreshment from the Dunlin Antibes Beverage Dispenser. Once married, I will attempt his favourite upside down plum cake and place it on the Cake Stand and Dome, instantly improving the taste.
For an updated look over the old punch bowl, it’s the MONTAUK RECYCLED GLASS BEVERAGE DISPENSER and matching HANDBLOWN TALL CORDIAL GLASSES for me… The perfect centrepiece for the non-alcoholic beverage.
FRENCH APOTHECARY VASE & STAND and the Sonoma Wooden Kitchen Tools. Set Of Five to create a alchemy styled decor. The vase filled with coloured water for effect
I love outdoor events so the wire canoe gathering basket for a fresh fruit centrepiece and the montauk macrame hanging candleholders for subtle lighting.
We are having a Eco vintage look engagement party and I just LOVE the Brentwood wood and copper Mirrors!! I think they would be just Perfect for the centre of our table with a little collection of the optic decanter and glass collection filled with sweet little fresh picked spring flowers & herbs! Then we can hang the mirrors in our home afterwards to always remind us of our special day!
