We both live in Melbourne, so it was quite the adventure to organise the wedding in another State, and a rural town at that! Many of our guests wondered why we decided to get married in McLaren Vale. It really didn’t have anything to do with our everyday life, nor was it a place we grew up in (Armin is German and I grew up in Brisbane). Essentially, its the place where we fell in love! So, when thinking of the most perfect location to host our special day, we immediately thought of this region and the opportunity to share it with all our guests. There are so many wonderful things about McLaren Vale – the wine, restaurants, beach and countryside. And after the 15th March, our wedding! The weekend went amazingly and everyone had a wonderful time. We were very privileged to have been able to share our day with our loved ones in one of the most perfect places on earth for us.

You would be helping me out so much. You looked beyond gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The dress is Jenny Packham from Spring 2011 – it is called the Starburst.
Such a beautiful wedding.. Mclaren Vale is just breathtaking, it holds a special place in my heart because my husband & I were engaged in Mclaren Vale and for our wedding we bought all the wines from the region… It truly is a beautiful place of rolling hills, gorgeous coastline, superb food and wine and lovely people!
I’v never wanted to get married – untill I saw these pictures! Stunning!
Awesome! Its in fact remarkable article, I have got much clear

Beautiful bride. Handsome groom. Gorgeous setting. Congratulations on your perfect day!
It’s funny to find out how many different blogs the internet has about this topic I don’t know
if I’ll ever need to come back, but it is nice to know I stumbled upon the one that offers a little useful stuff if this should come up for me again.
Stunning wedding – the dress is fantastic, unforgettable.
Your posting, “Elegant Australia Wedding by Jonas Peterson – Once Wed” ended up being truly worth commenting down here in the comment section!
Only wanted to admit you truly did a great job.
Thanks for the post ,Margo
I am in love love love with this entire wedding. What a beautiful bride. I am head over heels for that dress.
Please let me know if you can bare to part with it. I am interested.
I may be clutching at straws here but I am desperate to have this dress as my wedding dress. Does anyone know how I might be able to find one or is willing to sell one? I can’t even find an image of another one online. If anyone can help please mail me kellymurphy100@hotmail.com – thanks.
It’s from Jenny Packham…and the prices are ridiculous, about $5,000.00 USED. Search for “Jenny Packham used wedding dress”. You will find several (not a lot) in the style(s) that you like, including this one. Hope that helps. :)
