Arlie and Daniel waltz into romance at classic bohemian wedding

Arlie and Daniel’s classic bohemian wedding on February 28, 2018 was an intimate affair with 55 of their loved ones.

The couple, aged 27 and 28 respectively, met almost nine years ago at their local tavern in Lismore. “I didn’t really want to go to the ATM outside alone, and sensing this Daniel offered to escort me,” recalls Arlie. “We now joke that I am not sure why I felt it was a good idea to take a stranger who knew that I was going to the ATM.”

The ceremony and reception at Summergrove Estate meant they could be wed at the venue’s beautiful glass back chapel with views of the Gold Coast hinterland and the ocean. “After weeks of rain it was a beautiful sunny day for our outdoor reception under festoon lights,” says Arlie. “Daniel and I made all the decisions bar my flowers and wedding dress.”

Their first dance of the waltz was carefully crafted after taking three months of dance lessons leading up to the day. “That was something really special to share,” says Arlie. “Not a single thing went wrong, it was honestly the most perfect day.”

“Before Daniel and I even got engaged I started a Pinterest board and was spamming my Facebook feed with wedding ideas,” laughs the bride.

Daniel and his crew suited up in classic black tuxedos from Ferrari Formalwear.

“The flowers were a textural mix or berry blooms and then had Scottish thistle to add a point of difference and pop of blue,” explains the bride.

“Stylists Berry Vintage set up our reception including the gold cutlery and charger plates and a suspended vintage ladder with matching greenery and glass baubles filled with candles,” describes Arlie. “It was magical.”

Arlie says her bridesmaids wore “beautiful charcoal dresses with lace busts and keyhole backs – simple but elegant.”

Of their photographer Bush Turkey Studio, Arlie praises: “He did not pose us and was more documentary style which was important to us as Daniel feels uncomfortable when posed.”

“We are both foodies and local honey seemed like a sweet little gift,” Arlie says of their wedding favours.

“The Summergrove team were amazing before and on the wedding day, they were always organized and approachable and went above and beyond on the day.”
