Returning from an overseas trip to a surprise proposal, Jessica was excited to plan a relaxed wedding with her love of seven years Adam in a lush valley setting. With a dramatic rock cathedral for their ceremony and a DIY reception featuring rustic neutrals and native blooms, their focus on savouring the wedding experience shines throughout their beautiful photos!
Planning Experience
“It was important to us not to leave booking things to the last minute. I loved Pinterest, the styling and shopping for all things wedding, but disliked organising the guest list.”
Finding the Dress
“I had a picture in my mind, tried it on and did not like it one bit! Then I tried on another style and fell in love with it.”
Bridal Party Styling
“For the girls, I wanted something classy and simple but also different that I hadn’t seen before. For the boys, we chose something classic and not too formal.”
The Reception
“We made our own signage and table settings and used plants grown from when we first were engaged as favours.”
Best Advice
“Enjoy the planning and the lead up – please yourselves, not everyone else and don’t sweat the little things! It all comes together on the day, have fun and relax.”
