Simple and Classy Adelaide Church Wedding

Emily and Kyle wanted a relaxed and simple but classy wedding day. They chose the lovely St Laurence's Catholic Church in the City of Churches and followed up with a cocktail reception and dancing at the gorgeous Ayers House in the Adelaide CBD. They were clever to save on costs in a lot of areas of their wedding. And how about that dress, perfectly mirrored in the folds of the cake. Simply breathtaking!

Sarah and Adam's uber-classy wedding in the Hunter Valley is a picture of sophistication. The couple wanted a relaxed, light and airy feel to the day with a touch of rustic. The gorgeous vineyard scenery, moody sky, and simple elegance of a white, ivory and cream palette with touches of black created a magical setting for their special day.

Classic Maleny Manor Wedding

Brisbane couple Edwina and Dan chose the glorious Sunshine Coast hinterland spot of Maleny for their uber-romantic wedding. The classic theme for the wedding evolved from the colour and style of Edwina's divine white gold dress (a perfect match for her complexion). The couple really embraced "handmade", ordering most of their wedding accessories through online handmade marketplace Etsy, as well as making their own wedding stationery and bonboniere. The result was a wedding that was as fun as it was breathtaking. Enjoy!

Smart Casual Brisbane Garden Wedding

For creative couple Jade (handbag designer) and Kym (chef), the focus of their big day was on the marriage itself, so they kept it as pared down as possible with a huge focus on the food which is very important to both the bride and groom. It's sweetly perfect in its simplicity, and as Kym is an amazing chef, it was fantastic for the guests to be treated to his talent on their wedding day. I love the happy, summery vibe of this wedding. Make sure you read all the tips below if you're looking for a budget-friendly wedding; Jade and Kym have some amazing money-saving ideas!

Couple: Jade & Kym
Date: 28th January, 2006
Location: The Bride's parents house and garden in Oxley, Queensland.
Photography: We didn't have professional photographer but had a relative take photos for us who was getting into photography and she was able to use the photos for her portfolio. Also, our Brother-in-Law had an awesome camera and he took some great pics too.
