Kate and Andrew\u2019s alternative wedding was so good that the bride is now getting requests to help others get down the aisle in style.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe feedback we received was unbelievable. I\u2019ve had a few friends ask for help planning their weddings!\u201d Melbourne bride Kate says.<\/p>\n

The pair opted for a Beauty and the Beast theme \u2013 with a modern twist \u2013 at dream venue Poet\u2019s Lane<\/a> in Sherbrooke.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the planning was DIY with little tips and tricks from our respective vendors,\u201d the bride says of her February 16, 2019 wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur style for the ceremony was incorporating the beautiful gardens of the gazebo. Filled with live acoustic music, a piano piece from our son, male bridesmaids, a whiskey box ceremony, a bull mastiff page boy, lawn games, cocktails and a vow from the guests to have the best time ever. We kept it personal, light-hearted and completely honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosaline Flowers<\/a> brought the outside in with an enchanted forest theme at the reception.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe night was truly the best day of our lives,\u201d Kate says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was so satisfying to see all my hard work come together better than I ever imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n
