After the lighthearted moment, the couple made their way to their vineyard <\/span>ceremony<\/span><\/a> and exchanged <\/span>sweet vows<\/span><\/a> with two gorgeous <\/span>floral pillars<\/span><\/a> framing them and the beautiful landscape. The couple wanted to take full advantage of the scenery with a <\/span>reception<\/span><\/a> overlooking the estate.

Junebug Member Rachael Emmily’s Thoughts On this Feathertop Winery Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

When I met Kiera and Jared for the first time, I felt like I’d known them forever. They’re two of the kindest, most beautiful souls. They both have a passion for <\/span>music<\/span><\/a>, so Kiera contacted some of their favorite musicians to record a video message for Jared. Jared’s sister handed him an iPad with all the recordings. Everyone wiped away tears as they gave Jared advice and well wishes. To help calm Jared’s nerves, Kiera organized two of his mates to dress up and surprise him for the <\/span>first look<\/span><\/a>. They didn’t have a big bridal party but had their sisters stand by them and help them get ready. The styling was colorful and fun, just like the two of them.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Starting Their Feathertop Winery Wedding Day The Fun Way With  A First Look Prank<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our <\/span>first look<\/span><\/a> was a memorable part of the day. To understand why you must know the backstory. Over the years, I had caught the bouquet at other weddings three times. The running joke was, “Three strikes and you’re out.” When Jared finally proposed in 2020, he started by saying, “Third time’s a charm.” So this was my chance for payback. At our first look, I had two of his best friends to do the first look in white dresses. Jared was surprised and disappointed seeing his best mates in dresses that were designed for people three sizes smaller than them. After the second “surprise,” it was my turn. Jared turned and was relieved to see me saying, “Third time’s a charm, babe!”. These have become some of our favorite photos, which has really set the feel for the rest of the day.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Inspiration Behind Their Feathertop Winery Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our wedding was based on three important things to us: mountains, <\/span>music<\/span><\/a>, and fun. We decided to get married in front of Mount Buffalo in high country Victoria as it had become a special place for the both of us over the years, and <\/span>Feathertop Winery<\/span><\/a> had always been a <\/span>dream wedding venue<\/span><\/a> for us. The sunset over the mountain from the winery was simply divine! Our love of music brought us both together at the very start. Throughout our wedding, we had an eclectic mix of music. We even gifted our guests with a playlist of our favorite songs and ones chosen to be part of our special day. Finally, we decided to optimize our day by spending the most time with our guests—whether singing and dancing or sitting with them for a conversation, plus vino. Our wedding was bright, fun, and filled with genuine joy!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Personalizing Their Ceremony By Having Their Loved Ones Participate<\/span><\/h2>\n

We were lucky enough to have our family involved in every aspect of our <\/span>ceremony<\/span><\/a>—from Jared’s brother-in-law conducting our ceremony and having our niece be the flower girl to our sisters being our “best people.” It made for an intimate and special ceremony with lots of laughs. We also decided to plant a blueberry bush during the ceremony, as they can live up to 70 years. To symbolize their commitment<\/a> to helping us grow in our marriage, we asked our guests to place a trowel full of soil into the pot as they came into the ceremony. <\/span>It was a sweet sentiment; every time we water our blueberry bush, it reminds us of our loved ones.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Wedding Advice: Choose Your Wedding Priorities Together And Stick To Them<\/span><\/h2>\n

Choose the three aspects of the wedding that are most important that you couldn’t skimp out on. For us, it was the <\/span>venue<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>music<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>photographer<\/span><\/a>. We did all the rest on a tight <\/span>budget<\/span><\/a>, and it didn’t bother us. It made for a wedding that we <\/span>loved<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Taking Dance Lessons To Prepare For Their First Dance Was The Best Decision<\/span><\/h2>\n

Due to the <\/span>pandemic<\/span><\/a>, our wedding was delayed twice, which in hindsight, was a silver lining for our poor dance moves. We decided to do dance lessons to have fun together. It also kept the excitement in our relationship in the lead-up to our wedding. We hadn’t told anyone that we were learning. Our <\/span>first dance<\/span><\/a> was a quickstep to “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” by Leo Sayer. We mucked the dance up multiple times, but it didn’t matter. No one had noticed. We cannot recommend doing this enough! <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Giving Each Other Meaningful Gifts<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jared gifted me with <\/span>Miss Dior perfume<\/span><\/a>. Another piece of good advice we received was to pick a perfume for your wedding day and wear it for your anniversaries and date nights to take you back to those happy memories. I gave Jared a video of some of his favorite musicians wishing him a happy wedding day! Some of them brought us together all those years ago, so it was a full-circle moment.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
