Real Wedding – Evan & Natalie, Fairfield VIC

Natalie and Evan envisioned a wedding blending old-world vintage charm with soft romance. Their dreamy day on the banks of the Yarra River was all this and more.

Our friends at State of Nature Florals created artful arrangements of butterfly-like blooms in cornflower blue, brushed peach, and creamy vanilla against an abundance of rich greenery, blending seamlessly with the surrounding bushland and elevating the atmosphere to celebration and style.

With her elegantly whimsical and softly chic gown by Temperley, Natalie is a vision of timeless grace, while Evan cut a dashing figure in a tailored suit from The Suit Concierge. Their ceremony, a blend of humour and refreshingly genuine feels by celebrant Marry Me Dee set the tone for a day filled with light-hearted love and vibrant celebration.

In the super-talented hands of the Baker Boys Band, the soundtrack to the day enhances the vibe to perfection, while sublime visual storyteller Georgia Verrells captures it all in perfect frames.

As they look back on their wedding day, Natalie and Evan offer this simple advice: embrace the unexpected, lean on each other, and, above all, cherish the journey. Read on to see the culmination of their wedding day journey.

Funny stories or near disasters.

Our daughter got sick two days prior to the wedding and vomited all over Evan. Then our power went out the night before the wedding so we were finalising all the bonbonniere by candlelight.
