On the morning of, some of the couples friends arranged bunches of flowers from our florist into mix matched cut glass vases and set up beside brass candle stick holders on top of our cheesecloth table runners. The long wooden tables from Jack and June Events were styled with the couples our own items. The reception area was set up under a large marquee from Handi-Hire Events. L’Wren played lovely tunes while guests mixed and mingled eating canapés served by The Wilderness Chef. Issy printed and designed their own drinks sign to showcase all the lovely drinks for the evening. This, alongside wine barrels, rugs, stools, a grazing table (set up by Salt & Wildflowers) and of course The Dusty Cockatoo, formed the after ceremony drinks area. A mammoth effort from friends and family that took 2 days to set up and 2 days to pack down.įor months, Issy’s mum sourced an array of cane furniture around Sydney. There were a lot of elements brought together for our cocktail and reception area. “The ceremony almost felt like a blur, but thankfully we can relive it through our video.”Ĭreative design runs in the family who all pitched in to pull off the dream space Tim & Issy departed down the aisle to Little Bitty Pretty One by Thurston Harris. Not only visually pleasing but the scent was stunning! Issy being a very crafty and creative person decided to make confetti cones using an old picture book from their bookshelf which they filled with olive leaves and dried rose petals. Tim’s sisters gave a reading, as well as our friend Dan who shared a reading of marriage advice from Issy’s students. Emily from Love Kiss Confetti did a spectacular job as our celebrant, she was so helpful leading up to the wedding and she ran our ceremony just as we imagined. The bridesmaids and Issy walked down the aisle to Follow the Sun by Xavier Rudd. Issy’s dad made their arbour which was beautifully decorated with florals from Touchwood Flowers. “We wanted to make sure all the seats were filled and our guests surrounded the edges to make it nice and intimate. Where they couldn’t hire items, they purchased exactly what they wanted - include the jute aisle rug. The benches were from Jack and June Events and they used some of our reception chairs from Rosie Pose Hire for the first few seated rows. The couple were very busy organising and hiring a lot of their stock themselves. In 2019 we tied the knot down the road of our favourite holiday spot.” Fast forward to 2017, we moved to Crescent Head and in 2018 Tim proposed under the lighthouse at Smoky Cape. We had our first holiday on the mid-north coast, here we made another connection that we had been holidaying two headlands apart for the past 20 years. A tutoring session in accounting gave us the opportunity to become friends & we started dating in 2013. We met 3 hours away from home only to realise we lived 15 minutes apart. But it wasn’t until 2012 that their worlds truly did collide. Their families holidayed in similar locations, they attended the same sports carnivals, they would have been at the same netball courts & birthday celebrations. Tim and Issy should have coincidently crossed paths or at least come extremely close to crossing paths during their childhood. A little game of sliding doors and crossing paths before worlds collide Pretty lucky to have your own bar company at your wedding. Tim & Issy are good friends of Salt & Wildflowers as they are local Crescent Head vendors as well! The Dusty Cockatoo is a vintage Bedford Truck that has been lovingly converted to a mobile bar.
