Imogen and matt - Love, individuality & design

a surprising story

ThreeNews reporter Imogen Wells’ wedding to Matt Gibbs at Kōtare Estate was a stunning celebration of love, individuality, and thoughtful design. Surrounded by the picturesque Hawke’s Bay countryside, the couple opted for a black-tie dress code while adding personal, romantic touches that made the day uniquely theirs.

Flock Events managed the styling and coordination, curating every detail to bring Imogen and Matt’s dream day to life. A semicircle of elegant floral arrangements by Cellar Daisy, Matt’s sister, framed their emotion-filled ceremony, and an outdoor marquee adorned with pink accents, Imogen’s favourite colour, set the scene for an intimate, family-style reception. Guests were treated to a day full of surprises, from an impromptu ceremony during cocktail hour to a decadent tiramisu dessert served in place of a traditional cake.

Flock worked with a team of exceptional suppliers to ensure the day was not only beautiful but stress-free, allowing Imogen and Matt to focus entirely on celebrating with their closest loved ones.
