about this couple\u2019s wedding day.<\/p>\n<p>Carly Pollard, 29, and Mark Irons, 28, married with their country garden wedding on October 25, 2014. \u201cMark and I are two ordinary people from the country,\u201d says Carly. \u201cOur wedding was a true reflection of us &#8211; relaxed, natural, and beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their chosen location of Milawa, Victoria, wasn\u2019t an accidental one. \u201cMilawa is a special place to me,\u201d explains Carly. \u201cThis is where my mum grew up with her four siblings on a small farm, and my mum and dad got married in Milawa 25 years ago in the little red brick church,&#8221; says Carly.<\/p>\n<p>The bride and groom worked hard to create the perfect atmosphere, making the most of the surrounding natural beauty of vineyards and picturesque hills. \u201cThe trees were decorated with hanging rustic barbed wire hearts, and the timber arbor was decorated in clusters of billowing Gypsophillia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The country styling continued through to the reception at Brown Brothers Winery, with centrepieces made of clusters of spring pastel blooms with white and pink snapdragons, ranunculus and scented sweet peas.<\/p>\n<p>Photos by <a title=\"Fork and Spoon PD\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forkandspoonpd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Fork and Spoon PD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
