Dreamy Pink and Gold Outdoor Real Wedding

Fallyn and Grant's wedding is one for the storybooks.  Full of romance and a real life owl as the ring bearer.  A big thank you to Adorn Invitations for sharing this gorgeous wedding with us.

The couple wed at the charming Maleny Manor in the Sunshine Coast Hinterlands.  Fallyn new she wanted a classic, vintage Gatsby feel for her wedding with soft pinks, whites, and accents of gold.  We say she definitely hit the mark!  The bride's florist even imported French Peonies from Paris as a wedding gift for the couple as they were out of season at the time.

Fallyn and Grant met in high school and it was love at first sight. Grant proposed to Fallyn while they were sailing on a private gondola off the Gold Coast Qld.   After a romantic dinner and while the sun was setting, he popped the question with a bottle of champagne and a dozen red roses.  So romantic!

The bride had the privilege of working with a not-for-profit organization called Raptor Vision based in Sunshine Coast, QLD who are a wonderful animal rescue group. The guys behind this were retired zoo trainers who rescue and care for local birds. To fund the cost of caring for the animals, they trained one of their owls to deliver wedding bands. Luna the Owl surprised our guests as our ring bearer for the ceremony.

The bride and groom used a vintage mirror for a unique twist on the traditional escort card.  We love this trend of using mirrors as place settings which adds a bit of sparkle and romance to your wedding decor.

Rustic Pink and Navy Barn Wedding

When we saw this wedding, we just knew we had feature it.  Chock full of charming country details and adorable signage, Madison and Cameron's rustic barn wedding is absolutely perfect.  And while all the details in their wedding are amazing, our favorite part is actually the story of how the bride and groom came together.

Madison’s grandmother had discovered Cameron long before Maddie had and desperately wanted the two of them to meet. A couple of years after Maddie’s grandma pointed him out at their church, Cameron decided to ask Maddie out. Ironically enough, the sermon from that day’s mass was on serendipity, a term that means “the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way” (are you crying yet??). That serendipitous Sunday morning accidentally turned into one of the best days of their lives.

We love how much thought was put into this wedding and how much personal detail was included.  Almost all the decor was DIY from the bride and her family.  A big thank you to Ebby L Photography for sharing these beautiful wedding photos and this beautiful love story with us today.

Cameron and Madison set out a cart of blankets for guests to snuggle up with as the night air turned cool. Such an adorable idea for a Spring or Fall wedding.  We especially love the added "Keep Cozy" chalkboard signage.

When the ceremony finished, the evening continued with a happy hour filled with cocktails, a popcorn bar, and yard games.  We love the vintage lace and floral detailing of the popcorn bar and the creative "Watering Hole" bar.
