Whimsical Summer Wedding in Victoria
I was pretty much sold on this wedding when I heard that guests tossed gold glitter on the happy couple as they walked the aisle. Then I saw the heart balloons. And floral crowns and bracelets. And a reception with a florist stand for guests to bring goodies home. Thank goodness Milk Photography captured every moment because this gallery will be getting lots of Pinterest usage; I, for one, will be here all evening.
From The Bride... Our wedding ceremony was in my parents backyard which was filled with lots of DYI decorations. Our aim was to make the day feel like a festival. The backyard was covered in jars of white daisys and my friend made 1000 paper cranes to put around the garden to represent prosperity. The furniture set-up for the ceremony was mostly from our home, others we had found at opshops and painted white. Gary made an archway which we hung wooden gold bunting flags from and got married in front of. A friend played live music and everyone enjoyed cocktails along with our favourite little bags of lollies and chips for snacks. The aisle was a white material covered in gold glitter. Our guests threw glitter instead of confetti.
Before the ceremony we had a first look at the beach in front of my house where we spend a lot of our time. It was amazing to have a private moment and to watch Gary shed a tear! We had most of our photos taken in front of a beach house where we had spent so many summers.
Gary and his groomsmen wore blue chinos and a shirt with brown thongs. It was a boiling hot summer day and he wanted to make sure he was comfortable and wore something that represented his personality.
After the ceremony all guests were taken by bus to Mountain Goat Brewery in Richmond. The Brewery was the perfect blank canvas to decorate and continue with our festival style. It was decorated with a rustic theme in mind, with a splash of gold. The food was set up like market stalls. Five different food stations, with all of Gary and my favourite foods. There was also a flower stand, which at the end of the night, guests could take home. We had a market hall setting set-up in between the food stations and festoon lights to brighten the area. In front of the bar we had a gold love heart representing the dance floor and a DJ playing.
