Liz and James were married at the old Bodalla church which has to be one of the prettiest churches on the south coast. Followed by drinks and family photos at the Foxglove Spires Garden in Tilba Tilba which is the most beautiful garden ever, and then their wedding reception was on a fabulous family farm in Narooma inside a marquee that was decorated like nothing we’ve ever seen before. The details are unbelievable! You see Liz is an Antique dealer and her love for antiques and French materials shines through at each and every turn. The swinging bird cages, antique silver trays and old lanterns are just a few examples of the exquisiteness. We’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking but just thought we’d mention that the details in these photos are only half of what was there, and with the help of a few friends Liz did all of it by herself. This is the ultimate DIY backyard wedding!
Many thanks to Nora Devai Photography for capturing all of the loveliness.
