Featured - Real Weddings: Julia + Jonathon I Gunners' Barracks, Mosman, Sydney I Pretty vintage and peony wedding

This very special issue of Real Weddings marks its tenth year of being on our newstands.

 And we're very proud that our work -- and the couples who have entrusted us to help make magic happen -- have appeared in every single issue of such a beautiful publication since 2002.

Here we share the wedding of the truly lovely Julia and Jonathon, from the latest issue.

The wedding took place at Gunners' Barracks, Mosman, on a warm and sunny summer morning by Sydney Harbour, followed by a lunch time reception that flowed into the late afternoon.

Julia came to us with a vision of a room styled to reflect the colours and mood of a pretty summer day, so we topped the tables in beautiful buttercup damask cloths from our hire range, used cream footed flower stands with cut glass bowls from our range to pick up on the chandeliers in the room and went on a deleriously happy buying spree at the Sydney flower markets to create lush bouquets of peonies, david austen roses, freesia and touches of dusty miller, and reception flower arrangements featuring exquisite dahlias, peonies, david austen roses, ivy berry, blackberries and more, in hues of pastel pinks, lemons, whites, creams, coral and sunkissed orange.

The ceremony, which took place under azure skies in the historic sandstone courtyard of the barracks, featured a large hanging vase with a massed arrangement of blooms as used in the bouquets and the reception, marking the point where the vows were exchanged. Overhead, glass baubles filled with nothing but dahlias in pastel shades were hung with a range of delicate ribbons in a range of pastel shades, and to the end of each pew were tied arrangements of dahlias, balckberries, ivy berry and more.

Enjoy.
