The couple worked to create a \u201cwooden wonderland\u201d for the reception with a rustic mixture of Australian and vintage table flowers. There was also a handmade guest book from Poland and candle holders which they cut, sanded and stained themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the true beauty of our wedding came from our glow on the wedding day,\u201d says Naomi.<\/p>\n<p>Photos by <a title=\"Dane Adkins Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/daneadkinsphotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Dane Adkins
