Our neon-lit Chuppah doubles as the perfect cult rave-cube.

We styled the incredible Mission to Seafarers dome for the .co Christmas party with our cube, and it was a match made in… a planet from somewhere very far away.

Earlier this year, we had the immense joy of being part of the wedding of Pepe and Sam. Today, that hits the newsstands in Print, and you can check it out EXCLUSIVELY in Hello May, issue #29.
Huge shoutout to community wrangler and earth mover .melbournecelebrant for brining this entire crew of vendors together, and Pepe and Sam for being the grease to our cogs and a bunch of legends that make all this so much fun.

The dress code? Whatever you want it to be.

Non-conformist (adjective)

1: Non-adherence to general social pleasantries: Danny was the new kid at school. Danny was charitably invited to a house party. Danny doesn’t give a f**k about the human race or social graces. Danny cued up some Cannibal Co**se on Spotify to follow Matchbox Twenty (or whatever other project Rob Thomas was defiling everyone’s ears with) and then pi**ed in the bath. Danny is a non-conformist.

2: Gentle resistance to deeply ingrained oppressive systems, such as calendars: Becky does not believe the Gregorian calendar is relevant in 2019. Becky believes in calendar agnosticism, and in the right to select a calendar based on how you feel that week. Becky is using the obscure Runic calendar this week, and isn’t going to school because she isn’t born. Becky is a non-conformist.

3: Playing god with colour: The Arbourists believe that even a beautiful flower has a dark side, and it just needs our arbours to bring it out.

The Arbourists are non-conformists, and we have a feeling you might be too.

Just stay away from our bath.

What’s hotter than a greased-up (in sustainable coconut-oil) Brad-Pitt circa ‘95 in a mankini with a cheeky freshly-washed testicle peeking out?

We’re not sure, but reckon this comes close. Killer styling from Good Day Rentals and giant balls from Bangin Hangins at a forest that would be the envy of Tim Burton himself, Tanglewood Estate.

We can’t get you married under Brad Pitts balls, but like the 4am shag-rush at a city nightclub, we’re all about being a cracking good backup option.

We here at the Arbourists denounce the NRA, but support shotgun marriages.

Here’s our crucifix pointed towards the good lord. True to our “nice by day, naughty by night” mantra, it can then be spun around towards the good lord of darkness.

Yours in death metal & marriages that stand the test of time no matter how they begin.

SWEET BEAN REFRYING JESUS. The Arbourists: now available in “disowned” flavour. Reversible crosses ready for hire in a set of three, two, or individually. Install them upright to keep family ties civil, or spin them around to streamline next years Christmas gift list.

True to our “Nice by Day, Naughty by Night” mantra, these can be mounted upright during the ceremony and bear the load of immense floral domination, before being re-mounted upside down for your godless-glory during the reception.

Start with Hillsong, continue with Ed Sheeran (or don’t), and finish with Cannibal Co**se.

These light up in a range of colours accessible via our portable controller, and each of the three are finished-metal in one of gold, matte-black, or white. Crosses are portably powered. Each can be raised or lowered to stagger either their height, or your position within the church.

All enquires via our website - www.thearbourists.com (NO DMS please 🖤).

In love and death metal,
The Arbourists xx

G’day. We’re the Arbourists (just like the tree-loppers, except we’ve thrown another vowel in because we’re generous like that and love a good dad-pun).

We have other jobs - you may have seen Matt fixing your power sockets, or Oli fixing his hair at your wedding (which looks like he’s licked a power socket in this humidity).

We thought we’d put a face to ourselves, in case you hadn’t seen us fighting each other on our insta stories.

This is our little love project. You’re probably as sick of only seeing these triangles on here as we are, but we promise there’s other glorious stuff on the way and that we do not discriminate geometrically.

Stay sharp, stay covered in clouds of cornflour.
