Kelly and Craig were wanting a simple relaxed style wedding and had their hearts set on a garden party vibe for their big day.
After visiting The Secret Garden, they were keen to book and chose the Garden Wedding package. This package allows couples to be as extravagant as they want or to just keep things simple.
They loved the area either side of the arbour for their after-ceremony celebrations but were undecided as to where they wished to hold their ceremony. After a further visit, a couple weeks out from their date, they decided on the area at the entrance to the lake bridge with its majestic pears standing sentinel, a touch of colour in the ground cover and pink azaleas in the background.
They utilised the chairs and table in the gazebo by the lake to complete their paperwork.
Kelly and Craig went with Decade events for the hire of the marquee which fit perfectly on one side of the arbour lawn and Game Steet set up furniture and games on the adjacent lawn.
Members of the family came and set up tables for drinks, glasses and food. They supplied their own drinks and organised prepackaged grazing boxes, both savoury and sweet, as their food option. So easy yet just the best way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon in the sun.
The day could not have been more beautiful. The garden was looking very lush with plenty of spring flowers. It was a bright and sunny day with a top of 21 degrees and a slight breeze- just perfect.
The ceremony was conducted by Natalie from marry me Natalie and images captured by Erin Boyd.
After the official proceedings the newly weds were joined by their friends and family on the rose lawn to while away the afternoon with good food, plenty of refreshments and the best of company.
Such a lovely way to celebrate a special day.
