I couldn’t resist posting some images this morning from stylist, Emily Henderson’s, lovely backyard wedding. Gayle Brooker is the photographer behind the beautiful images below and I think she did a marvelous job capturing their celebration. And how amazing is Emily’s dress? She found it on ebay…

It’s been brought to my attention that our ad management system has been acting a bit wonky for some readers and releasing drop down ads onto Once Wed. Even though advertising revenue allows us keep the lights on at Once Wed, it is very important to me that ads do not pop up or drop down automatically over your computer screen when reading our site.
We are working on this problem diligently and hope to have it resolved by tonight or tomorrow at the latest. I apologize for the inconvenience it might have put on your viewing experience and appreciate everyone’s patience while we work out the kinks. Stay tuned for a lovely backyard wedding coming up next!
P.S. – This problem only seems to be happening on Internet Explorer, but if you are experiencing this issue on another browser or continue to experience this problem after tomorrow…please send me an email at oncewed <at> gmail <dot> com letting me know. Thanks!
We’re lucky to have a wonderful wholesale flower market in Sydney and Nathan and I went and filled our 70’s holden kingswood to the roof with all kinds of flowers the day before. Eleanor (my best friend & maid of honour) and I arranged all of the flowers ourselves in the hotel room until the wee hours with only wine and lollies for sustenance. The apple jam favors came from an orchard local to us in the blue mountains, we then printed up our own labels and added fabric tops. The pieces of slate for the signs were a chance find in a thrift store the day before the wedding which I wrote on with a paint marker.
Before dinner was served we all prayed together and Nathan and I renewed our vows. our own pastor from home lead the ceremony. We had really hoped that the emphasis for our party would be on eating and drinking together and everyone enjoying each others company rather than formality. The modest number of guests and the long communal tables really made this possible.
Thank you to Nathan and Rebecca for sharing their beautiful wedding with us. And to Tealily Photography for sending over her gorgeous images for us to swoon over!
