We were looking for a wedding that was intimate and close, we wanted all the guests at our wedding to be special to us in one way or another - people who had shared in our relationship and lives over the years. We wanted a wedding that defined our characters - something fun, detailed, creative and a little bit quirky! We wanted an elegant and classy wedding with personalized vintage and rustic touches. These elements were used in the styling and intricate details of the wedding. Our wedding colour palette consisted of cream, beige, latte, coffee and apricot. We chose these colours as we feel they perfectly represented the elegant, vintage and rustic style we wanted to achieve. We also displayed a 'Love Story Board' outside of the church which displayed a quick snapshot of our 6 years together. It was displayed on a blackboard with a white baroque frame to tie in with the elegant and rustic style of our wedding. Our little page boy held a distressed 'Here Comes The Bride Sign' down the aisle just before I walked into the church, it was just gorgeous! We choose the Intercontinental because we wanted a beautiful and glamorous location but we also wanted a room which gave us the flexibility to decorate it in a way that suited our theme. The ballroom had a gorgeous aura about it which oozed elegance and class! We adapted this to fit in with our own style by adding touches of rustic and vintage elements and theming to the room. I love photography and wanted to add something a little different and unique to our collection of photos, hence deciding to have some of our pictures taken at the Royal Adelaide Show. The carnival theme also tied in beautifully with the rustic elements
