Priscilla Keogh and Matt McIntosh brought the desert to life with their romantic and rustic outback wedding.<\/p>\n

The Broken Hill (NSW) pair made the most of their hometown’s natural features for their vintage-styled celebration on March 21, 2015.<\/p>\n

Priscilla, 31, and Matt, 25, wed at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Broken Hill, in front of 140 friends and family.<\/p>\n

In choosing their reception venue<\/a>, the couple opted for Mulberry Vale Bush Gallery, which the couple had spent a week preparing for the big day, stringing up 200 fairy lights to create the perfect romantic setting for their outback-inspired celebration.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had so many compliments about what a beautiful and unique day it was; when I look back I think of sparkles, romance and dirt,” Priscilla laughs.<\/p>\n

“It sounds like a strange combination, but all the planning and DIY created such a magical day, it was a beautiful outback Australian wedding<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Despite having no floral design experience, Priscilla ordered her wedding flowers in bulk and spent the night before the wedding crafting bouquets and centrepieces – and the results were spectacular.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When it came to choosing a wedding dress<\/a>, Priscilla sought advice, not from her bridesmaids, but from – her groom! It was “a bit unconventional, but I loved the experience of wedding shopping with him,” she says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Priscilla and Matt met at a fancy dress party dressed as a schoolgirl and zombie. “Obviously a perfect match, we’ve since thrown many of our own,” Priscilla says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
