It was the small touches at the modern classic wedding of Brooke, 32, and Chainey, 29, that made their day that bit more special.

The pair, who met on a mine site in northern Western Australia, married on October 8, 2017 with 80 guests in Brisbane. A ceremony at St Stephen’s Cathedral was followed by their reception at Customs House.

“Our wedding had personal touches that were very true to who we are as people and the suppliers we used on the day reflected that,” smiles the bride.

“One great addition to our wedding was the personalised caricatures as table markers for each guest. This was a representation of Chainey and I as we both always make sure we get these done when travelling overseas as memories,” explains Brooke. “The tree positioned in Customs House was also a personal touch to bring nature and structure together which we loved the feel in a place like Customs House with the elegance of the chandeliers.”
