It was a celebration of colour and creativity at the bohemian\u00a0wedding of Ruby Alcock and Alex Robinson.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sydney pair, aged 22 and 23 respectively, married on April 16, 2016 with 150 guests at Corrangbong on the outskirts of Lake Macquarie. As Ruby describes, it was like moving everything they owned to Greenfield Farm Estate, to set up the bohemian-styled wedding of their “wildest dreams.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The couple made many treasure finds at charity stores including crystal glasses, vintage linen napkins, table runners, Persian rugs and cushions. \u201cWe also had timber from an older farm that was 30 years old and formed two archways,\u201d explains Ruby. \u201cOne bearing its own beauty, the other adorned in flowers<\/a> and vines.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The reception was dripping in vibrant blooms, Moroccan-style lanterns\u00a0and a canopy of twinkling fairy lights, setting the scene for an unforgettable celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>The ocean is a huge part of our lives so we had marine animals propped around our cake<\/a>,\u201d smiles the bride. \u201cMy husband sang me a song and everyone constructed Chinese lanterns which were let up to float into the sky.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple honeymooned<\/a> in Samoa but unfortunately experienced a cyclone whilst there! \u201cWe are planning hopefully a redo later in life once we pay off this one,\u201d says Ruby.<\/span><\/p>\n
