Gosia had chosen her flowers a month prior, stumbling across a boutique florist on Melbourne&#8217;s\u00a0Chapel Street. &#8220;I took a photo of one of the bouquets and asked the owner to create similar for our wedding tables,&#8221; she describes. The bridal bouquet was created with baby&#8217;s breath and brown string.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our little wedding was all about celebration of creating a family, love, friendship and new beginnings,&#8221; beams Gosia.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_002\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_002.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"938\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_013\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_013.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"411\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_008\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_008.jpg\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_032\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_032.jpg\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_011\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_011.jpg\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_001\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_001.jpg\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_003\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_003.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"944\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_014\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_014.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"411\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a title=\"Malvern Valley Receptions\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingVenues\/Melbourne\/MalvernValleyReceptions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Malvern Valley Receptions<\/a>, with its amazing views and greenery, was chosen on a whim by the couple. &#8220;We walked in and decided &#8211; this is it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_018\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_018.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"411\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_022\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_022.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"411\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_044\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_044.jpg\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_020\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_020.jpg\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_023\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_023.jpg\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_017\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_309_017.jpg\" width=\"309\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_047\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_047.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"936\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_029\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Gosia_Sam_Intimate-Wedding_029.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"936\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Gosia&#8217;s Anna Campbell dress was &#8220;meant to be&#8221;.
