Wellington Point Wedding Celebrant: Pop Up Wedding at a Thornlands backyard

Pop Up Wedding at a Thornlands backyard

Sharlene and Adam decided to marry in the backyard of their parent’s home and entrusted the team at Pop Up Weddings Bayside to coordinate the wedding day of their dreams. Being December, the couple decided to hold their ceremony later on a Saturday afternoon to avoid the heat of the day.

Miss Weddings set up a circular arbour with foliage and flowers of orange, pink, and cream, which matched with the flowers in Sharlene’s bouquet and Adam’s bouttoniere, and the flowers atop the wedding cake. Maid of Honour, Robyn, wore a coral dress, which tied the colour palette together.

Sharlene wore a beautiful A Line lace off the shoulder dress with a mocha underlay. She wore a veil attached to her curled hair, with a pretty side hair clip, and coordinated her jewellery with a bracelet, drop necklace and earrings. Groom Adam wore a cream coloured suit, with a white shirt, black bow tie and black pocket square.

As the shade slipped onto the lawn area, guests took their seats, glad of the breeze from the bay. Adam walked down the aisle with his best man Nathan and his parents, to an instrumental version of Thinking out Loud. Then the guests held their breath as beautiful bride, Sharlene walked down the aisle, preceded by her Maid of Honour, and accompanied by both her mother and father, to an instrumental version of "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" from the Lion King.

After a short and sweet ceremony officiated by Cheryl Landsberry, the couple signed their marriage certificates and walked back down the aisle , hand in hand, to “Come and Get your Love” by Redbone, as their guests blew celebratory bubbles.

After some photos around the tended gardens with photographer Romana Saeheng, the wedding party and their guests enjoyed a catered outdoor reception on the back deck under the starry skies.

Sharlene and Adam are still on a high with such glowing memories of their wedding day. They wrote,” Thank you for all your efforts to make it a great wedding. Our family and friends told us lots of positive words about you and the ceremony.”
