Frances and Chris' Rustic Chic Wedding - Wedding Friends

via

Today we are featuring a wedding from the land down under...beautiful Australia! Frances and Chris got married at the majestic Zonzo Estate in the Yarra Valley. Their wedding was submitted by Adorn Wedding Invitations. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

How did you and your partner meet?
We actually met at a burger café and after chatting, Chris asked me out on a date. One date led to another and we started dating long distance as I was living in country Vic at the time. I'd never met anyone like Chris and after 6 months, I knew that I had to move back to Melbourne.

How did he propose?
A year after we met, he took me out to dinner and as we were strolling along the water front at Williamstown, he got down on one knee and proposed.

How did you choose your wedding gown?
I walked past a bridal store with a window display that really caught my eye. The styling was very bohemian and romantic and unlike most places. I went in and within 10 minutes I knew I'd found my dress. I felt beautiful, and most importantly I felt like myself.

What sort of style did you envision for your wedding day?
We wanted a theme that suited the venue - which was quite rustic with rolling country side views and a wedding that was beautiful but warm and joyful, just like my relationship with Chris.

What was your favorite moment from the day?
Chris' face when I was walking down the aisle!

Any DIY décor elements?
I made the cover for our wedding guest book (from typo), and guests took polaroid's and taped them into the book with a message. I added a touch of rustic twine around the guest's names and bonbonniere jars as well. Most of the decoration was also a collaboration between Zonzo estates and us.

If you could do it all over again, what would you change?
Absolutely nothing! The whole process of planning and the day was stress-free, well organized and lovely.

Any tips that you can give to future brides?

  • Start planning early- keep records of everything (spread-sheets)
  • Consider hiring a car vs. expensive chauffeurs.
  • Do lots of research on Pinterest, Instagram and online and make sure you read lots of reviews.
  • Do what you like! Don't be pressured by other people's opinions.
