A wedding with two ceremonies? Why not! ⁠ ⁠ Br A wedding with two ceremonies? Why not! ⁠ ⁠ Brodie and Madeleine tied the knot their way: first, a hiking elopement in wild, wonderful Mount Field, with just a few friends and their celebrant, rain and all. Then, they celebrated with everyone back home: homemade food, borrowed flowers, and a backyard full of love. ⁠ ⁠ Here’s to perfectly imperfect days and doing it your own way. Could a wedding get any more alfresco?⁠ ⁠ Originally published on Mindfully Wed, this story has now found its home on Polka Dot Wedding.⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @laurenlsutton / Ceremony Officiant: @timgrimseycelebrant⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: ⁠A black-and-white photo of a couple holding hands and running down a wide dirt road in a misty, rural landscape. Both are wearing rain jackets and boots. The groom is smiling broadly, while the bride is bundled in a beanie and hood. ⁠ ⁠ Image two description: ⁠A lush, wild landscape, dense green shrubbery and trees stretching into the distance under a grey, foggy sky. A narrow winding path cuts through the trees.⁠ ⁠ Image three description: ⁠The couple walking away from the camera along a wooden boardwalk that curves gently through dense forest. The groom in a bright yellow rain jacket, the bride in a darker jacket with a red beanie.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #MindfullyWed #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding
“You can't control all the small things, and som “You can't control all the small things, and sometimes even the big things will go wrong. Try your best not to get too attached to the idea that things will go as planned. It will be a pleasant surprise if they do!” – @ola.pawlik18 & @jed_jedd_n_jeddy⁠ ⁠ They met, they argued, and then they fell in love! Jed and Ola's intimate garden wedding in Wollongong was a quiet celebration full of sunlight, laughter, and the kind of moments that make you believe in love all over again. ⁠ ⁠ See more from this gorgeous day now on Polka Dot Featured!⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @dejanacubrilovicphotography / Flowers: @Rubyoakfloristry / Bride's Dress: @lillimarcs / Hair & Makeup Artist: @christineazzopardi / Groom's Attire: @blades_menswear / Groom's Attire: @rodgerbartholomew / Celebrant: @wollongong_celebrant_services⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: A bride and groom share a quiet moment among tall cacti in a desert-like garden. The bride is seen from behind, wearing a sleek, halter-neck satin gown with a low back and holding a bouquet of white flowers. The groom faces her, dressed in a light grey suit and bow tie, surrounded by spiky desert plants and warm, golden sunlight casting long shadows. ⁠ ⁠ Image two description: Taken side-on from the same moment, the groom leans forward to press a gentle kiss to his bride's forehead. Holding onto the sides of her face, while she smiles widely.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #IntimateWedding #WollongongWedding #Cactus #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding
