Ben and Isabelle are the epitome of how to organise a wedding from the other side of the world and pull it off wonderfully whilst taking it all in your stride. Despite living busy lives in London, when they got in touch with me about their upcoming Wedding at Fernbank Farm in Yarramalong, they managed to scour websites of local suppliers, be decisive and lock them in, trusting the experts to do their thing!

Elegant Rustic Wedding at Fernbank Farm : Ben + Isabelle

Mature enough to understand that their family would fully understand and embrace their decision to not have them there for the actual ceremony, they were able to throw them a party the following day to celebrate their commitment together.

When Dani and Germán emailed me to say they were planning on Eloping on a cliff edge in the Bouddi National Park on the Central Coast my heart soared. I knew this location was going to be Epic!

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days in your life, and making the conscious decision to do it your way is a liberating one, one that will provide you joy and one that gives you the opportunity to make it completely unique, from the moment you wake to the moment you fall asleep.

How to have an AMAZING Elopement Wedding In and Around Sydney

What I loved most about this wedding was the relaxed vibe. The first time I met Rebecca, the bride, she told me that one of the main reasons they had chosen Pacific Palms as the location for their wedding was because they didn’t have a curfew to finish up the reception. They were able to dance around and party until whatever time they pleased.

Set in the countryside of the NSW Central Coast at Yarramalong Valley Farmstay. Meaghan and Phil’s Rustic setup blew my mind. Think vintage furniture around one long banquet table under fairylights and the stars!
