He is the kind of guy that loves organising things and loves his spreadsheets so it worked well,\u201d Tanya says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe found the best venue, photographer and videographer, caterer (food vans), did the music set, found the best celebrant and made some of the decorations too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The couple, who met more than a decade ago, chose Alowyn Gardens in Yarra Glen, outside Melbourne, for their rustic wedding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur wedding style was colourful, rustic and laid back. We wanted an easy going and fun wedding which we definitely achieved,\u201d Tanya says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am more laid-back and creative so I worked on making our own decorations, cake, bouquets, wedding signs and bonbonniere. It was so much fun getting everything organised the week of the wedding and having our families and friends be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Once and for All\"
