Just because you’re having an elopement or micro wedding and want to save some money, doesn’t mean you have to forgo a beautiful wedding dress.

If you think outside the box and get a boutique, off the rack dress, you can find something gorgeous and low-key for your relaxed wedding day.
This was one of those beautiful little elopements where everything felt as though it came together perfectly. And proof that despite the weather, your day can still be every beautiful thing it needs to be. Liz and Dean eloped at the gorgeous Bonney Berg Bed and Breakfast in the Adelaide Hills at Cromer, near Birdwood. Their beautiful host Bron made sure everything ran perfectly, witnessing their wedding, providing delicious meals and such a beautifully welcoming environment with access to their stunning property and grounds. She also let us borrow her floral arrangements to create a lovely, loose and rustic bouquet. I still cannot believe that the flower is a cabbage! How very cool.
When it comes to wedding planning there are really no rules (well, except the legals, you want to be legally married!), but there is a lot of pressure on couples to get it ‘right’. Here are some of the myths of weddings and wedding planning that you can feel free to ignore if you want to!...
Megan & Andrew's elopement on Friday was a beautiful and special day. We were a little worried about the weather, keeping a back up plan ready to go just in case. But in the end, the weather was incredibly beautiful. The big Morton Bay Fig trees held special meaning for Megan & Andrew, and also provided the perfect backdrop for the wedding. I love how their huge branches and roots enveloped the ceremony in a sweeping embrace. It did rain a little bit, but it was also sunny. This is a magical combination. Guests and family cuddled together under umbrellas as a light shower sprinkled down during the reception, the droplets glowing in the sun.
You’re engaged! Time to start wedding planning, and the first job… picking the date!
There are a number of considerations to make when choosing your wedding date, and one of them is the wedding seasons.
This was a special elopement for sister business Our Wild Love Elopements. It reflected everything we want our elopements to be; relaxed, intimate and all about the love. Charlotte and Edward couldn't wait to be married, and so with just over one month, and with the help of friends and family they put together the most perfect little elopement. The arbour, table settings, flowers and Heidelberg cake all looked both beautiful and delicious!
Putting together your wedding guest list isn’t quite as exciting as choosing your wedding gown, or menu and cake tastings, but it is a job that must be done! Sometimes it isn’t easy, with venue or budget restrictions that mean you can’t invite every person you love, or who expects to be invited.
What a gorgeous thing an elopement is! A small and perfectly intimate wedding ceremony that allows you to marry the love of your life with only your closest family and/or friends by your side. Ellen & Dylan pulled off the perfect elopement, and with a backyard party to follow the next day, they did not miss out on a thing!
When you think of eloping the first thing that might come to mind is to ‘run away and get married’, and historically, this is exactly what is has meant (usually running off secretly and without parental consent!)… escape, flee, run away…
While big weddings are still the most popular way to go these days, eloping is not at all uncommon or as ‘taboo’ as it used to be.
