Olivia told me her vision for their wedding was relaxed, casual, eclectic and bohemian. I think she hit the nail right on the head!!
I love the antique nature of the rooms at Ford House. They are so beautiful!
And the gardens are to DIE for, especially this time of the year its literally exploding in colour!
Off to Bridgetown Gardens and the Wisteria covered walkway for the ceremony.
The guests held a Rose petal Serenade on the way back down the aisle
After the family photos and congratulations we headed down to the Blackwood River and back to Ford House for photos.
Back to Bridgetown Gardens, and while there wasn't much of a sunset, the beautiful lanterns out on the veranda made for some awesome dusk colour - and a little dance practice!
I loved the rustic bohemian nature of Olivia and Hendy's wedding. it was almost as if we were back in the 70's and it was AWESOME! Totally gorgeous.
Thankyou so much for allowing me to share your day with you both.
Slideshow to come!!

Wedding
Lizzy and Owen, 2nd May 2009
This wedding holds a special place in my heart :) Not only was it the wedding of two very special people, but I also got to see my my old stomping ground of Bridgetown AND catch up with two of my my past clients too!!! Great day all round.
Ceremony - St Josephs Manjimup
Flowers - Kellie Nelson from Airport Florist in Belmont. Ph: 9277 2870
Reception - Bridgetown Gardens Reception center
Locations - Manjimup Timber Park, Blackwood River, Sunnyhurst Winery, Bridgetown Gardens
We arrived at Lizzy's sisters farm just outside of Manjimup to find a deserted farmyard! UhOh...are we at the right house???? Was all ok, they were just running a smidge late at the hairdressers. We got to play with the new baby cows anyway so all's good!
Preparations went smooth, the details were FANTASTIC and JB and I have now become 'Dora the Explorer' fans. A few gorgeous portraits and we are off to the Church!
The flowers were made by the incredibly talented Kellie Nelson who was not only the florist, but a bridesmaid AND a past bride of mine too!! She still graces my client room with her beauty :)
Owen and his entourage arrives at Manjimup's St Josephs church in his Truck!!! It even had ribbons and tin cans hung off the back. I just LOVE country weddings :) The ceremony was so beautiful and the love and joy in their faces was a pleasure to behold.
Phototime! We started in Manji and then headed off to Bridgetown and the coolness of the Blackwood River. Who would have thought that May would have such hot weather??
Off to the GORGEOUS Sunnyhurst Winery which has some the most gorgeous gardens anywhere, straight out of a Jayne Eyre novel.
And then off to the top of Bridgetown Gardens Estate and sunset! ST-HU-HU-NUHU-NING!!!! (might not be a word...but you get the idea LOL)
The reception was Fan-friggin-tastic. All the details planned by Lizzy were so beautiful and perfect. The food was fantastic, and the love in the room was almost tactile.
Ive split the slideshow into two as I just HAD to show heaps of reception pics. Owen surprised Lizzy with the most amazing speech I've ever heard, and I tell ya, he gives Beyonce a run for her money in the booty shaking stakes!! I swear I had tears running down my face!
