Talia always dreamed of the classic American Country ‘Fall’ inspired wedding. Fortunately, Luke is a dairy farmer, and that means that a summer wedding was off the table! The couple waited until May, when all the families could celebrate with them.

Numerous people Talia and Luke cherish, miss and love could not be there, however, one was a remarkably close friend, Emily, who they lost far too early to cancer in 2020. They knew they wanted to have her there in some way, shape or form, so had a beautiful glass case made, filled with some of her favourite flowers on display. They also lit a beautiful candle for their beloved friend.

Talia and Luke were lucky to have both sets of grandparents at their wedding, and Talia's great grandfather, who in his 90s, built the stunning archway for their ceremony!

Talia is plant-based, and Luke is a meat and cheese lover, so the couple decided on a ‘His’ vs ‘Hers’ menu for their wedding day. A roast dinner, but roast vegies vs roast beef. It was also important to them to have good food you can share around, and lots of it. Hence, they went with the family-style banquet, and then a gourmet dessert bar stocked with cookies, a beautiful cake, loads of slices, and a crock pot of delicious coconut-based hot chocolate... Talia’s favourite!

Talia and Luke both adore these cookies and wanted to share their love for food with their loved ones and thought it would be very "them" to have the morsels at the dessert Bar. They also are big fans of dessert, not massive drinkers, and Talia is a sucker for a Hot Chocolate and a warm blanket at the end of the night, so that is what they did. Baskets of blankets, cookies, cake, and hot chocolate. What does that equate to? Absolute perfection. It was very them to have something warm and cozy for a nice cold Autumn night.
