Colin and Lizzy's Dinosaur and Train-themed wedding

Color:

Designers Colin and Lizzy's love for trains, dinosaurs and bright cheery colours was applied heavily to their whimsical solemnisation at Holy Grace Presbyterian Church, photographed by Chris Chang Photography.

The church gave them permission to dress up the atrium with their moodboard of quirky ideas that included a wall filled with hexagonal boxes, a table installation of little dinosaur and train toys, paper windmills, train tracks, balloons and wedding favours over 300 packets of theme-appropriate cookies.

The DIY boutonierres were embellished with similar figurines, and the groom who is a transportation/train/bus/maps nerd, custom-made a necktie and bow-tie featuring a print of New York's subway system. "We were mindful to try and not turn our wedding into a children's party with Thomas the Tank Engine making an appearance!" laughs the bride.

Lizzy donned an assymetrical mullet gown to show off a pair of white Shellys London boots she purchased on eBay. She wore her hair in a half up-do with some fresh flowers for a vintage touch. The wedding flowers were done by her friend Haylee of Adorninglory, who filled the bride's hand bouquet with just greens. "The only flowers I like are succulents," mentions Lizzy.

They had a casual catered reception at church for lunch by Rasel Catering, and hosted a simple dinner at Mouth Restaurant for 100 guests with BYO wines. No march in, no stage, no fancy lights, just awesome food in gigantic portions at a reasonable price – perfect for the no-frills couple!
