To finish the month off we thought we'd show you just how beautiful a real vintage Aussie bush wedding can look. Clive and Joanne held their wedding last year set in the beautiful Donnelly River, 326km from Perth. The ceremony took place surrounded by stunning native Karri forest on a day filled with lovely vintage touches. From a horse and cart ride, Joanne's gorgeous dress and parasol to the log fires of the reception - how could you not be inspired!
Don't worry if your all thumbs, you can still go handmade on your big day with these gorgeous green gifts to add to your wedding registry.
- 'She just loved' is an adorable limited edition print by Corid. US$20.
- The perfect green gift. Hows this for recycling - the bottle of wine has been turned into a groovy serving tray for your cheese, so you can drink more wine that could be recycled into servings trays, for your cheese... love it! US$18 from d'Pholk Designs.
- Get close up to nature with vivid prints from creative monsoon. Prices start from only $21 for a print.
We came across so many delectable delights planning this months theme, we just had to share a slice with you! Prepare for some culinary inspiration... and a little bit of drooling.
