Be Inspired - The Ultimate Rustic Wedding!
If you are looking for some rustic wedding inspiration with a relaxed atmosphere, look no further than this wedding! Aaron and Lisa recently tied the knot in one of the most intimate and homely themed weddings. The palpable atmosphere was distinctively captured in the charming photos that commemorated a day filled with love, happiness and good energy, which will without a doubt follow them through their lives together in this new chapter. At Classic Wedding Invitations, we collaborated with Aaron and Lisa to create their wedding invitation landscapes and ensure that it complimented their rustic themed wedding.
- What was the inspiration behind your wedding theme / vibe?
Lisa loved the look and general relaxing vibe of rustic weddings while Aaron knew his relatives would love a genuine ‘Australian’ wedding, after visiting the venue, they both were sold.
- Talk to us about your dress, where is it from? How long did it take to find?The dress is from a shop on High St called Hills in Hollywood. It was a very comfortable, unstructured dress, without being too casual. It took a little while to find something that I loved, but that also wasn’t ridiculously priced. The store manager was also lovely which was a nice change from the many intense sales people in wedding dress sales.
- Any family or religious traditions incorporated into your day?
We had a Christian ceremony in the Garden.
- What does marriage mean to you?
A lifelong commitment between two people in love.
- Advice for other couples planning a wedding?
Use your bridal party! Don’t do everything yourself, try make planning fun ie take a weekend off somewhere.. Wine also helps.
- Did you undertake any DIY projects, if so what?
Yes plenty! The thank you cards, table seating plan, flower decorations, table numbers, display behind the bridal table, isle decoration on chairs, signing board, hair & makeup, photo editing and video editing.
- Favourite detail and/or moment of the day…
There was a nice personal touch that made everyones night & that was to create individual thank you cards. Each card had a montage of images dating back to our earliest or fondest memories of our guests. Each card was wrapped up with their name on it and also used as a place card. Yes it took a very long time but when we saw people’s reactions and watching their faces light up it was well worth it.
- Any funny stories in the lead up to or on the day?
Wasn’t funny at the time but in hindsight yes. The trifecta of every couple’s worst fears was quickly becoming a reality for ours!
1- It was scheduled to be 43 degrees (second day in a row over 40).
2- Heavy rain was scheduled at the same time ceremony was to commence.
3- Bush fire sparked and was 3kms from the venue.
Thankfully someone was looking after us, it rained after we entered the reception, bushfire was put out and a cool change came in very quickly.
