In keeping with the couple&#8217;s alternative style, the ceremony concluded with the ringing of Buddhist bells.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone rang bells together to bring the good vibes and keep away bad spirits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later, Cassie and Tom celebrated with family and friends at a lunch hosted by At The Heads in their hometown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We love our coastal community so our major wedding theme was &#8216;support local&#8217;,&#8221; says Cassie. Everything included in the day was chosen with sustainability and zero waste in mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Styling was kept to a minimum, allowing the coastal beauty of Barwon Heads to stand out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was just the most epic surf wedding ever,&#8221; says the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Ed Sloane Photography\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edsloanephoto.com\/\"
