This open-air wedding has brought up rustic theme to a whole new level of elegance. With such beautiful landscape as the backdrop, the wedding of Vera and Joey was definitely beautiful in every way. This couple had planned their wedding perfectly, with an elegant rustic concept in mind. They had decided to choose the timeless classic colors, like white, black, and gold to give such a sweet and chic vibe. They had their intimate ceremony and wedding reception under a romantic Italian gazebo facing the picturesque vineyard scenery and it gets even more magical at night as hundreds of string lights illuminated the golden arbor. But our favorite part is how Vera was glowing with happiness and Joey simply couldn't take his eyes off her as they shared the start of an amazing journey with their beloved guests.

Something from the bride:
Joey and I both wanted a modern wedding with a touch of rustic and elegance. Yarra Ranges Estate was the second place we looked at and we both just fell in love. We had originally considered an outdoor ceremony so when we saw their outdoor gazebo set up we just knew this was the perfect place for us. It also meant that our guests wouldn't have to travel anywhere else but to the venue. The property was immaculately presented with the most amazing views overlooking the vineyards. It had exposed pitched ceiling beams with fairy-lights wrapped around each one and the uninterrupted views from the inside looking out created the perfect romantic setting we were after. Despite the weather being a little touch and go leading up to the day, it turned out to be a beautiful day and we even had sunshine most of the afternoon. It was such a relief considering we both had our hearts set on the outside ceremony. Our table settings were decorated with black and white linen, tall candelabras wrapped in ivy and white cottage flowers in jars. But, my favorite part of the wedding was, without a doubt, the moment i was walking down the aisle. I know it sounds cliche and most brides would probably say the same thing but it really is an absolute mix of emotions from anxious to excitement to emotional all in a matter of minutes. It felt quite surreal! It was everything I imagined only a thousand times better! This day is definitely an unforgettable day which we will remember forever.
