Real Wedding; Grace and Matt @ Currarong Hall

About You Two; Now, How did you two meet? We actually met on Hinge. A classic modern day love story. Who popped the Question and how did it happen? Matt surprised me with a boujee as hell luxury stay near Uluru when we were living in Alice Springs NT. Whilst we were gazing out at the big red rock, I turned around and Matt had pulled out another rock!

Wedding Transportation Ideas: How to Keep the Day Moving

Wedding planning involves plenty of brainstorming about the venue and guest list. Amongst the chaos, you need to think about transportation as well. After all, you, your partner and guests still need to make it to the ceremony, reception area and hotel space. The logistics are even more important if these parts of your celebration are in separate places. Here are a few suggestions on how to keep the day moving.

Real Wedding; Sarah and Todd @ Riverside Gardens

About You Two; Now, How did you two meet? We met in Florence, Italy at a karaoke bar in 2018 while both on holiday. Who popped the question and how did it happen? Todd popped the question while we were sitting by the fire at home, he said ‘I knew it was the perfect time to propose as I looked at you smiling and relaxed and realised I didn’t need a fancy proposal, this moment was perfect for us’.

Real Wedding; Emma and Jack @ Worrowing

About You Two; Now, How did you two meet? Jack and I met at our first job in our local IGA in a little beach town on the South Coast. We were 15. Who popped the Question and how did it happen? Jack was in Fiji for work, so of course I came along! We had spent the day on the South Sea Island where we did our first scuba dive, ate some yummy food and enjoyed the warm water.

Should you choose an intimate gathering or go all out with an extravagant event?

Navigating Wedding Hire Logistics

It’s time to dive into the nitty-gritty of one of the most crucial aspects of your big day: wedding hire logistics. For a lot of the weddings we plan, which are often at more DIY style venues there are hire goodies that need to be brought in complete the styling, whether that be furniture for cocktail hour, an arch for your ceremony or napkins and candles for the table styling.

Breaking Traditions

I love the idea of breaking traditions. Just remember, it is your day and your way! You can take on board as many or as few traditions as you want. At the end of the day, we live in modern times and we have seen it all. Some couples may choose to keep each and every one of the original wedding traditions from first dance, bridal party, bouquet and garter toss and so on.
