Wedding Anniversary - 1 Year!

Wedding Photos

Today I thought I'd show you some more wedding photos, primarily of the reception venue and the hotel; as you can see I adore purple, sparkle and feathers. My sister took all these photos for instagram and I thought they formed a lovely little collection.

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having an enjoyable holiday season. I can't believe it was raining so heavily for Christmas day here. It just seems so uncharcateristic of a summer Christmas in Sydney; it was a fun day nevertheless. I'll write more about that later. I have many outfits to post from my Christmas celebrations but I don't have them ready due to the rainy weather and the fact that my memory cards seem to have disappeared while moving house. So for now I will show you the next part of my wedding photos. These were taken during and directly after the ceremony which was held in the scenic gardens of Milton Park.













It was actually very scary walking out into such a large crowd; I'm not used to being the centre of attention. 








We decided to have a sand ceremony where Rydog and I poured different coloured sand into a container. Each grain of sand is supposed to symbolise our individual experiences which have brought us together; the mixing of the sand symbolises a life which is now interconnected. I thought it would be a fun idea and different sort of ceremony.






I'm not really the kind of person who displays public affection so I'm surprising myself by putting this on the Internet.






Since I LOVE butterflies we had a butterfly release at the end of the ceremony.


The butterflies viciously attacked Rydog while everyone else laughed!

I'm back! I didn't expect to have such a long break and I have missed blogging immensely but my life has just been so busy and chaotic lately. I got married on the 1st of December and then we moved house the week after. I will write more about moving out in one of my upcoming posts because it has been a very significant change for me. I definitely underestimated how long it would take to move out; it was a much bigger task than anticipated and we are still unpacking and had to wait awhile for our furniture to arrive but it is slowly coming together. We only just got Internet in our apartment so that has made it impossible to write a blog post until now.  I thought I would start by showing some of my wedding photos. The wedding was an amazing weekend away and I enjoyed every moment of it. After over two years of planning I am so sad that it was over incredibly fast. We got married in the Southern Highlands which is an hour and a half south of Sydney, at a place called Milton Park. I've posted about Milton Park a few times during the year such as here . It is a beautiful country estate and was just perfect for the occassion. I wanted to get married outside of Sydney so it would be very special and different from any other sort of experience. It is also an area of significance because I frequently visited the Southern Highlands with my parents when I was a child. My dress was the first aspect of the wedding that I ever chose. I knew right from the start that I wanted a princess style look; as soon as I saw the dress I fell in love with it so I bought it over two years before the wedding day.I wanted it to stand out and be a sparkly as possible! Today I'll leave you with the photos that were taken before the wedding ceremony.




































There are more to come...
