The Day

​

Ready to embrace whatever Mother Nature threw at them, Bri and Derek worked with their venue Rocklea Farm to keep their guests cool during a ceremony with predicted heat waves of 38 degrees. And while that balmy prediction was downgraded to a rainy day of just 24 degrees, the couple were taken aback by how beautiful their new ceremony location was. Saying their vows in a marque rather than outside, Rocklea created the perfect mood with fairy lights and lanterns to bring the intimacy right up.  

​

Taking the weather change in their stride, Bri and Derek were thrilled with how their vendors, like caravan bar Boutique Event Co, were able to adapt while still bringing the vibe. And while the same couldn’t be said of the wet and muddy hem of her wedding dress, Bri was ready to embrace the weather and dance the night away with a quick change into a shorter party option. 

​

Bringing together the personal touches of Bri’s handywork and the love that only family and friends can bring to such a special day, the celebration was filled with moments and mementos the couple will cherish forever. From Bri’s hand-poured resin place settings, sunglasses seating chart, and florals brought together with the help of her mother and step mother, to the 150 cupcakes made by sister-in-law Cassie, and the bouquets made by her bridesmaid - the perfect retro summer party was set.  

​

Set against the backdrop of all this colour and texture, Derek’s best man added even more love into the room with a sentimental and heartfelt speech the couple, and their guests, will never forget.  

Popping a bottle of bubbly and enjoying a starlit bath after their guests had gone home, Bri and Derek soaked up their biggest adventure yet; chatting and reminiscing until the early hours. What a magical end to a night full of love, colour and fun!
