Real Wedding – Andy & Liz, Cadello VIC
Andy and Liz’s breathtakingly beautiful soiree is a vision of garden party glam underpinned with softly sweet romance and an effervescent vibe.
Classic contemporary outfits elevated with clean, sleek lines in a monochromatic palette ensure the entire wedding party look perfectly on point, with a nod to timelessness. We love Liz’s Bluebell Bridal gown, modern simplicity creating the ultimate style.
Against these chic fashion choices, the day’s styling leans in to artful elegance; cloud-like florals of bluebells, soft white roses and a tablescape of white upon white with accented crystal glassware. The long table seems to go on forever under a canopy of lush greenery, in a vista of garden party perfection.
As the afternoon fades and the night heats up, the party vibes kick on in the hands of the epic Hey Jack, dance floor legends.
There to capture every darling detail was photographer extraordinaire Georgia Verrells. Scroll on to experience every sun-drenched moment.
