WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | GENEVIEVE & JEREMY

Mr & Mrs Hancock - we salute you!

We are still reflecting on the miracle of last Saturday's ceremony, with the skies clearing literally moments before this gorgeous couple's wedding ceremony!

There may have been some of us with our doubts about the decision to move outside, but Jeremy & Genevieve stayed the course and WOW what a ceremony! The first great call of a fabulous newly married couple - what a team, (apparently 6 sausages buried in their garden the night before were the secret to success but the jury is out on that one!).

Congratulations Gen & Jeremy, what a great start to a magical life together.

(note: scroll to the end to see what might have been had we stayed inside!).

CONGRATULATIONS GENEVIEVE & JEREMY!

What a dip, what a day!!

It was so exciting to see this gorgeous couple tie the knot OUTSIDE in the gardens on Saturday. After many hours of solid rain, the skies cleared with minutes to go before the ceremony, so the switch was made and dreams became reality!

Watch out for some WED-inspiring sneak peaks of this fabulous day, coming Wednesday.....

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | ASH & DREW - PRETTY IN PINK

This stunning couple's wedding was a masterclass in DIY as they lent into the PRETTIEST of pink decor for a dreamy, romantic spring vibe that was absolutely EFFORTLESS!

Ash & Drew's day was full of BIG BIG fun and so much love. Guys, in short you ROCKED!

We LOVED:

All that pink (how could you not!), including our Dinner Menus in pink and tapered candles on the Bridal Table.

DONUTS for days - no other word but EPIC for this one - Nic from Bake Me I'm Yours knocked it out of the park!

PJ's to finish in complete comfort and get those moves going on the dancefloor, we feel like this could be the NEXT BIG THING - love it!

CONGRATULATIONS MR & MRS FROMM!

We were so excited to receive this Sneak Peak from Linc at In the Vines photography of Steph & Mitch's GORGEOUS wedding yesterday!

An absolutely PERFECT day for a Cocktail wedding and with Steph & Mitch's planning including providing for chairs for all guests in the ceremony it was all smiles as guests enjoyed the ceremony under the shade of our mighty Elms! (and wow, we love it when we have 110 seats - it looks STUNNING!).

The blooms from the girls at Ivy & Bloom Flowers and Events were off the charts, SOOO beautiful, and again with perfect planning, were designed for repurposing which worked a treat. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Be WED - inspired by the natural environs BUT also the special unique touches by this AWESOME couple:

A Vegan Cocktail Feast enjoyed by all (yes, even the non believers were converted to these amazing flavours from Two Sisters Catering with Dessert Buffet from Hoo-gah Bendigo.

Gorgeous florals from with beautiful pillars for the ceremony backdrop which were later moved to the entrance for a big WOW when the Bride & Groom were announced (complete with MASSIVE cat signs - see the pics, hilarious!)

LOVE, love, love this cocktail set up in the winery with simple arrangements on the tables combined with our tealights and the drama provided by our Urns with large foliage arrangements and hanging overhead tealights - a PERFECT combo!
