From the first time Theodora and Andrew met, the connection was undeniable.<\/p>\n

Their relationship quickly progressed from friendship to love – filled with laughter and fur-babies. Their Corgi named Space assisted in their proposal.<\/p>\n

“It was a scavenger hunt that ended in a picnic at our favourite park,” recalls the bride.<\/p>\n

It was important to the Sydney couple that their wedding reflected their style, which was relaxed, quirky, fun and full of dogs!<\/p>\n

The pair, aged 31 and 33, hosted their rustic barn wedding at Bendooley Estate<\/a> on April 7, 2019. The autumn wedding began with Gate Crash games which are a series of challenges set for the groom and the groomsmen to complete to prove their love.<\/p>\n

The creative souls incorporated as much personalization into the wedding as possible – with Andrew designing their wedding invitations, placemarks, signboards and a fingerprint tree.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Theodora, who runs a marketing agency, found her wedding suppliers from those she has worked with before or is a personal friend.<\/p>\n

“It was important to both of us to work with people we loved and have them be a part of our wedding day,” explains the bride.<\/p>\n

Theodora and Andrew chose the Bendooly Estate for their rustic barn wedding on April 7, 2019.<\/p>\n

“Our wedding was so unusual with the Gate Crash games, tea ceremony, corgis and a dance-off!” explains the bride.<\/p>\n

“It was a day full of fun, family, friends and fur – we loved every single moment!”<\/p>\n
