Perth girl Rachel first met Scotland-born Jamie in London after she moved there to teach. After two years as a couple, the pair moved back to Australia where Jamie popped the question at quintessential Perth tourist destination – Rottnest Island.<\/p>\n

As a history teacher, it made sense for Rachel to wed her beau at a historic venue. The pair, now aged 26 and 31, immediately fell head over heels for 1840 colonial mansion\u00a0Faversham House<\/a> in York, Western Australia: the perfect venue for a rustic historic wedding.<\/p>\n

Guests from across the globe made the journey to WA for the weekend-long Australiana celebration. Notable features include Australian Honey as part of the wedding favours, Australian natives blended with Scottish flowers for the bouquets and buttonholes, a bagpipe performance and traditional Scottish formalwear for Jamie and his groomsmen.<\/p>\n

The night ended with guests singing to Loch Lomond and a surprise FaceTime call from a party thrown especially in Scotland for family and friends who couldn’t make the journey.<\/p>\n

“We fell in love with Faversham House,\u00a0<\/a>especially when we found out we could book for the whole weekend which meant we would be able to have everyone there with us for longer,” says the bride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rachel and Jamie tried to DIY as much as possible. “We brought our own tables, purchased our dance floor from gumtree, Jamie made our arbour and I went around to different antique and op-shops all over WA to get jars, picnic rugs and wine barrels.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
