Romantic Bohemian Festival Wedding Inspiration at Riverwood Weddings in the Gold Coast Hinterland, Australia

Romantic. Bohemian. Festival. Wedding inspiration.

This was always going to be a fun shoot! We needed the right team to nail the brief; we are proud to say that they over-delivered. Marisha, from Magnolia Studios, was outstanding - from concept to planning to styling to everything involved in a shoot of this magnitude (furthermore, it was Marisha’s encouragement that resulted in a couple of features; subsequent acceptance into Polka Dot Bride & The Wedding Playbook). Carmen, from stunning Riverwood Weddings, could not have been more supportive of our specific needs for this shoot. Carmen was amazing all the way from planning to making sure everyone was comfortable & settled on the day. Stephanie, from Scenic Rim Wedding Hire & Rambling Rose Pop-Up Bar, is one of the loveliest vendors to work alongside - as well as providing beautiful hire items & refreshing drinks. The shoot would not have been the same without the impressive tent from Glamping Hire Co - nothing was too hard for the team. Maria, from Mary Poppies Floral Studio, created memorable & unique floral arrangements. Ashleigh, from Wish Boutique Stationery, created the dreamiest suite. Katrina, from Cake House, made all our cake dreams come true with her delightful & whimsical twist on the brief. Temptation Platters compiled a grazing table that was fresh and full of inviting colours - also, it blew us away. Oscar & Ivy provided a beautiful gown - effortlessly stunning. Vanessa’s denim jacket (from Azul Denim) complemented Oscar & Ivy’s gown perfectly & brought festival vibes to the party. Nicola, from Goddess Makeup Design, embraced warm caramel and coral; the look she created for Freya was nothing short of perfection. Roxy, from Roxy Hotten Celebrant, not only knocked the being the (mock for the purposes of this shoot) celebrant part out of the park but she put her hand up to submit this shoot on behalf of the team. This is Eden Jewellery deserves a special mention. This is Eden Jewellery is a "non-profit anti-trafficking organisation restoring freedom for all held captive in the darkness of Asia's trafficking hubs". Such a wonderful cause that makes it an easy organisation to get behind. This is Eden Jewellery reported back after the images were released to say that they "showed the Eden women who made the wedding jewellery and they were so excited to see their jewellery in such a stunning wedding". Ali, from Crystal Dreamz, made the bespoke process an absolute dream: her crystal crown & crystal boutonniere could not have been more perfect. My Jewellery Shop provided an elegant engagement + wedding ring set for Freya and a wedding band for Nick. Heirloom Bride assembled a made-you-look-twice flat-lay - an art in itself. Freya & Nick were delightful and effortless to work with; we recommend both of them!

Clarification: we thought that Freya wearing the hair bands was a nod to two things: 1) the laid-back festival vibes of this shoot and 2) symbolic of letting her hair down by the time the reception rolled around. <3

Emunah Events :: Event Styling & Floral Design

We will start at the start.

We have worked with Emunah Events on a few projects now:

You will find Emunah Events listed on our recommended vendor page. We believe the following shoot will reinforce why they are highly recommended in our books. Not only are Carissa & Serena brilliant florists & stylists but they are all around lovely people, too. It is always a pleasure to work with both of them.

This shoot took place at the stunning Gabbinbar Homestead located in Toowoomba, Queensland. It is a truly magical venue. The beautiful cake was created by Cake House (more information here). Katrina, from Cake House, thoughtfully left some mini cakes for us to enjoy; they were delicious and were much appreciated.
