Romantic Dutch-Australian Brisbane Wedding

Talented ceramicist, graphic designer and curator of online indie art gallery Udessi, Kim simply glowed at her wedding to Greg in Brisbane. The theme for the day was Australian-Dutch vintage to incorporate both of their countries as a symbol of two heritages uniting as one. Kim and Greg were lucky to have most of their close family and friends visit for the wedding from the Netherlands, USA, Canada, UK, Chile, Darwin and Perth. Oh, and Kim also did an amazing job designing the Real Wedding Ideas Australia website – we think she’s pretty clever!

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!

Classic Brisbane River View Wedding

Anna and Dugald held a gorgeous, classic wedding at St Mary’s Anglican Church in Brisbane, where Anna’s great grandparents were married. Their reception was held at a historic house in nearby New Farm, overlooking the Brisbane River. I love the bold navy sash that Anna wore, tying in beautifully with her bridesmaid’s dresses.

Glamorous Sydney Harbour Wedding

Sydney Harbour was the picture perfect location for Paul and Julie’s Irish Australian wedding. With a slight chill in the air, Julie pulled off Old Hollywood glamour to match the historical Rocks church and sweeping harbour views at Walsh Bay – gorgeous even with a broody sky and fantastic for all the international guests. The couple chose red/orange accents and a delicious chocolate crocquembouche cake.
