Jaw-Dropping Australian New Year’s Eve Wedding

July 10, 2022 | justine

High school sweethearts Hannah and Nick decided to ring in the holidays and celebrate new beginnings with an Australian New Year’s Eve wedding. Using a neutral color palette, lush floral arrangements, and vintage touches—the couple brought to life a celebration overflowing with personality and excitement on the biggest night of the year, surrounded by their closest family and friends.

The pair transformed Hyde Park into a romantic setting for their big day with white Hercules chairs and a white aisle runner leading up to the breathtaking florals and pampas on pillar columns. And under a canopy of trees, the couple exchanged sweet vows at their favorite park. Following the ceremony, they brought the garden vibe into their elegant Moana Hall reception with an eye-catching overgrown floral installation and a dramatic tablescape filled with artful blooms in mismatched ceramic vases, tall tapered candles, and sculptural busts. These elements beautifully blended with the venue’s dramatic vaulted ceilings, distressed white walls, and arched windows.

From the yellow vintage bridal car down to the Daft Punk cover band that kept the party going all night, Hannah and Nick’s big day was spectacular and unforgettable from beginning to end. Scroll through these stunning images to see all the perks of a holiday wedding. All the romance and energy captured by S. Rose Photo might just convince you to say “I do” on New Year’s Eve.

Personalizing The Ceremony By Having Mom Walk The Bride Down The Aisle, Writing Their Own Vows, And Adding Humor

I walked down the aisle with my mum. Seeing all our gorgeous family and friends looking amazing and smiling at us was incredible. We also wrote our vows. Our celebrant asked our guests to put their hands up and vow to drink too much and party. It was fun, and everyone laughed, setting the night’s mood.

The Venues They Chose For Their Australian New Year’s Eve Wedding Were Meaningful To Them

We chose our local park for the ceremony as it’s a charming park and we spend a lot of time there. For the reception, we chose Moana Hall, where we had our 30th birthdays, and the style helped set a theme and mood for the wedding.

Intimate Outdoor Micro Wedding Inspiration

July 9, 2022 | riley

Playing off the historic ruins and medieval gardens of Abbaye d’Aulps, this outdoor micro wedding inspiration shows us how two contrasting elements can beautifully tie into an elegant, cohesive look. Using a vibrant color palette, airy florals, and glittering details, Prune Weddings and a talented team of vendors brought to life a styled shoot by combining old-world charm with modern romantic elements. 

This former Cisterian monastery proved to be the perfect backdrop for an intimate ceremony with overgrown floral pillars setting off the stone architecture. For the courtyard reception, a tablescape of florals in mismatched amber vases, gauzy accents, and gold flatware brought a touch of whimsy to the otherworldly atmosphere. Meanwhile, a lavish grazing table and a two-tier wedding cake with yellow flowers added a splash of color to the celebration.

Tying it all together is the couple’s bold and glamorous attire. The groom rocked his terracotta suit while the bride’s sparkly dress lit up this styled shoot. Scroll through these gorgeous photos captured by Dall’k Photography. There’s so much inspo to use to create your own romantic outdoor micro wedding.

Photographer’s Thoughts On This Outdoor Micro Wedding Inspiration

For this shoot, everything started from the venue, the Abbaye d’Aulps in Haute-Savoie–a remarkable and grandiose place. The idea was to organize an outdoor wedding in the intimacy of this extraordinary place which inspired us a lot with its grandeur and immensity. It was a colorful and festive intimate wedding, just like the Brazilian couple who warmed up the day with their shimmering smile! Ybine and Alessandra are radiant, giving off that good mood we all need.
