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.
