From the upcycled seating to the scavenged blooms that adorned the bridal table, Ashlea Robinson and Simon Bath pieced together every detail of their vintage garden wedding.<\/p>\n

After almost a decade together, the Taree, NSW pair wed at The Oasis Resort on September 26, 2015 in front of 80 friends and family.<\/p>\n

The outdoor ceremony, nestled in tropical gardens, allowed Ashlea, 30, to make a grand entrance across a wooden bridge to meet the waiting Simon, 34.<\/p>\n

Four generations attended the wedding, with Ashlea’s great grandmother, 96, signing the marriage certificate.<\/p>\n

“We signed our marriage certificate on a handmade ‘bath seat’, a wonderful touch for the new Mr and Mrs Bath,” Ashlea says.<\/p>\n

The reception was held under an overhead canopy deck area at the Oasis, surrounded by forest.<\/p>\n

“Simon and I planned and designed every intricate detail of the reception from head to toe,” Ashlea says.<\/p>\n

“We collected and upcylced all of the furniture and made pallet benches, a seating chart, Polaroid guest book, the bar and table centrepieces.<\/p>\n

“Our day was abound with intricate personalised details and a whole lot of love.”<\/p>\n
