Leanne & Rob’s small town playhouse wedding

Although having the wedding in a small town saved on costs, it did make finding a large enough venue a challenge. But with a little perseverance, it all worked out. This pair also took some rough weather and rocked out the stormy weather photos. And watch out: guests (and the couple!) got a little wild at the end of the night. The photos prove it!

Mandy & Jamie’s skulls and roses cottage wedding

I love it when gothic style hits another, totally different element because the result is often a really awesome blend. Think skulls, deep red roses, a coffin card box all in a rustic cottage in a small town. This bride works in the floral industry, so she knew what she didn’t want to do. They both wanted intimate, budget-friendly, and an amazing time.

Melanie & Justin’s colourful carnival love affair wedding

This couple is known to throw major ragers, and this wedding had to top them all. The order of the day was carnival: popcorn, lemonade, games, candy, and ten confetti canons at the ceremony. It’s weddings like these that make me want to cut out and hit the midway.

Krista & Rob’s colourful relaxed DIYed wedding

This wedding is full of eye candy including mug centerpieces with nesting doll favors, handmade clutch purses for the bridesmaids that matched their colorful shoes, and an adorably accurate custom cake topper on their rainbow dot cake! It was obvious that this wedding would be full of music, dashes of crafty goodness, and lots of love. There are also some key bits of advice in this one, including putting a time limit on your ring warming!

Kristina & Ki Yin’s Double Happiness East-meets-West wedding

A groom from Hong Kong living in Brisbane and a Canadian dame living in Adelaide means an East-meet-West wedding on a few levels. Working with the color red, rockabilly style, a “Double Happiness” theme, and two continents, this double wedding (plus 40-day honeymoon!) was a world traveling wonder.

Petra & Tahir’s cross-cultural outdoor peacock wedding

Peacock feathers, homemade vanilla syrup, and two ceremonies make me happy. Add in some tree planting, multicultural reception games, lots of henna, and a whole roasted lamb, and it’s a party. Check out this amazing wedding full of rich culture.
