We’re excited to share the inspiring story of this relaxed fun-filled garden party wedding at the Lychee Lawn Mt Coot-tha, which was planned in just over 5 weeks!
Details that made Jackson & Michaela’s wedding ceremony such a hit, include:
- Selecting the lush Lychee Lawn at Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, providing a stunning natural backdrop for their ceremony.
-
Creating an elegant setting with relaxed garden party vibes with a stylish self-serve drinks bar, charcuterie platters and wraps for guests to enjoy.
- Having a fun, engaging ceremony featuring fun “I Do’s” and heartfelt vows, that felt truly them and perfectly reflected their personalities.
- Breaking into dance together when they reached the end of the aisle.
- Deciding to celebrate love with a short lead time, proving the most enjoyable weddings don’t require a long planning timeframe.
Jackson and Mikhala’s story beautifully showcases that you don’t need years of planning to create your dream wedding day. With a clear vision, decisive choices, and the right team of suppliers, you can bring your dream celebration to life.
The Ceremony Styling
They chose the Lychee Lawn at Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens as their ceremony location. We styled the space with our white circular arbour adorned with soft pink dried florals, setting an elegant space for sharing their vows.
To complement the arbour florals, we decorated the aisle chairs with matching soft pink dried florals and a fresh rose petal aisle, creating a dreamy ceremony setting.
Creating a Warm Guest Experience
From the moment guests arrived, Jackson and Mikhala wanted them to feel relaxed and welcome. We set up our charming Hampton-style bar which they stocked with a selection of beers and wine. Alongside this, our A-frame grazing table was perfect for their generous spread of platters, creating a vibrant garden-party atmosphere.
Our chic white cocktail tables and stools were included to add to the guest experience, allowing them to comfortably mingle as they enjoyed a drink on arrival.
The Ceremony
The organised bride arrived right on time. Before making her entrance, Celebrant Jamie Eastgate ducked out to meet her and her bridesmaid for a quick check in. Then returned to cue the music ready for her stunning arrival.
Celebrant Jamie led a light-hearted, uplifting ceremony filled with laughter, fun ‘I Do’s’ and happy moments. A true celebration that perfectly captured Michaela and Jackson’s personalities and humour.
Once they reached the end of the aisle, they burst into a happy dance together!
Then it was celebratory drinks all round – the perfect garden party wedding vibes!
5 STAR REVIEW from Michaela & Jackson
“I don’t usually leave reviews but after our experience I feel I need to!
We gave Cara an almost impossible task to help us organise and plan our wedding in approximately 5 weeks from start to finish!
We could not have done it without Cara’s help. She took care of absolutely everything for us, providing valuable insights with different ideas and she took charge and made everything sooooo easy for us.
She made our ceremony EXACTLY as we had always pictured, nothing was ever too much trouble.
Partnered with Jamie as our Celebrant, we cannot recommend them highly enough!!! We have already passed their details onto a few of our friends.
Thank you again to the both of you for making our day so special, it meant the world to us.“ Jackson & Michaela
What a wedding!
These two totally won our hearts and their beautiful Mt Coot-tha wedding had such great energy – a wonderful celebration! A great reminder that a long engagement isn’t necessary for a stunning, stylish wedding day. They even had overseas based guests that were able to fly here and attend.
They’re vision for their wedding and fast decision-making combined with a trusted team brought it all together, so the short timeline was no issue.
