Both Patrick and I have a great fondness for history,&#8221; Nichole, 29, says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had lots of little touches paying homage to times past, ranging from photographs of our\u00a0parents and grandparents on their wedding days, an antique cake knife; to postcards used as decoration dating back as early as 1901.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nichole and Patrick, also 29, wed at Holy Cross Catholic Church, South Kincumber, Sydney on March 17, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The couple&#8217;s 142 guests then headed to\u00a0Gracelands, Forresters Beach for the vintage-themed reception.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite having a fair few guests, our daytime reception was chilled and intimate, featuring lawn games, cocktails, delicious food and an epic grazing table,&#8221; Nichole says.<\/p>\n<p>Everything from the invitations, to floral arrangements, decorations and favours were put together by Nichole with help of family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>The couple made the most of the festivities, hiring out a house for the weekend that hosted a pre-wedding barbecue the night before, as well as the afterparty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our wedding day was simply perfect, it was living and breathing happiness,&#8221; Nichole says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were both calm and relaxed, we couldn\u2019t take our eyes off one another, nor the smiles off our faces. It was the most thrilling and electrifying experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Kevin Lue Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kevinluephotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Kevin Lue Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152123 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_020-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_020\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152090 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_002-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_002\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152099 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_005-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_005\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152102 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_006-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_006\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152042 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_024.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_024\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152045 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_025.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_025\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-151984 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_001.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_001\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152047 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_026.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_026\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152120 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_018-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_018\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152119 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_017-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_SBS_017\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-151996 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_006.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_006\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-152037 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_022.jpg\" alt=\"Nichole_Patrick_Vintage-Classic-Wedding_Kevin-Lue-Photography_022\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our wedding attire was reflective of a modern take on 1930\/1940s fashion,&#8221; Nichole says.
