Janys, 28, laughs.<\/p>\n<p>The Melbourne pair wed on January 17, 2015, at Janys&#8217; godfather&#8217;s idyllic Mount Evelyn property in front of 120 guests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The idea of a rustic wedding with teepees stemmed from our love of music festivals and all things old, including our 1972 honeycomb bay-window Kombi, Klaus that was used as the bridal car,&#8221; Janys says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We both agreed we wanted it to be like one enormous party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Teepees courtesy of TipiKata and decorated with fairy lights created the festival atmosphere the couple was after.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We wanted the decorations to complement the rustic outdoor theme we were going for and decided on lace, hessian, succulents, candles, old jars and wood to decorate our venue,&#8221;
