After six years together, Trina Wormald and Damien Trudgian wed in an idyllic setting in the presence of their two young children.<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast couple walked down the aisle at their rustic vintage wedding on September 12, 2015 at Maleny Retreat in front of 99 friends and family.<\/p>\n

The reception was then held in the venue’s marquee, and the barbecue buffet was designed to make guests feel like they had been invited around for a barbie. It was after all, how the couple\u00a0first met. “Damien [42] and I met against all odds on an\u00a0annual Australia Day pilgrimage to the Gold Coast for barbecues and friends,” explains Trina. “Little did we know that day would be life changing.”<\/p>\n

Trina, 41, looked stunning in a simple strapless gown from Luv Bridal & Formal<\/a>\u00a0and the venue decorations <\/a>were her own\u00a0vision with cute signs, a lolly bar and outdoor spaces for guests to gather adding to the rustic theme.\u00a0“Our wedding day was a true reflection of ourselves. From the nicknames as placecards, to the Jenga guestbook, to the Lego cake toppers, to the barbecue buffet and festival feel,” Trina says.<\/p>\n

Despite juggling two young children, Trina describes herself as a relaxed bride.\u00a0“I was a pretty easygoing bride, which was amazing considering I have two small children,” she says.<\/p>\n

“The entire planning and styling was done by myself and I should\u00a0have asked for more helpers on the day to take the stress out, but that’s what comes with a DIY wedding.”<\/p>\n
