Brooke and Chris were inspired by Coachella for their festival wedding day, affectionally calling it a wedstival.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted the two days to feel like festival, a celebration,\u201d explains Brooke. \u201cTo be honest we didn\u2019t want anything to feel like a wedding, initially we both weren\u2019t even interested in having a cake. \u00a0It had to be outdoors<\/a> and natural.\u201d<\/p>\n

They married with a ceremony at and reception at The Woods Farm<\/a> in Tomerong, NSW, with 140 guests on March 1, 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lovely antique dressing table setup with jars of glitter and face paint for guests to decorate themselves with during the reception,\u201d explains Brooke. \u201cLater in the evening, I stepped back and I saw all the glittery faces around me, every single one of our guests was smothered in glitter and I just smiled. It warmed my heart to see everyone had embraced our vision, however different and weird it was, everyone joined in and for two days they were free spirits with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bride credits the success of their wedding day to her and Chris\u2019 ability to work together. \u201cI was working on a remote mine site for 10 months of our planning period while Chris was travelling with work and surfing in Chile \u2026 and we still planned our perfect wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooke found her dream wedding dress on Pinterest but didn’t know where it was from. She stumbled it across it by accident while wedding dress shopping in Melbourne.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
