We feature all kinds of weddings here on SBB, but I must admit to having a huge soft spot for those that take place in a garden or backyard. I love the idea of getting married somewhere that literally feels like home, being able to go back there again and again and make new memories, as well as the loving and intimate feel you always get from an at-home celebration. Today's wedding is just a perfect example of that, and it's effortlessly chic too - I love that bride Nandi was inspired by her mum, and wanted the decor to look like something that came from her cupboards. And can we just take a minute to salute Nandi's dress? Absolutely love it, especially paired with a pretty braid and a crown of flowers. As I said, effortlessly chic. I can't think of a better choice of photographer for this wedding than Lad and Lass Photography, as their style really complements the couple's - a perfect match. Just like Nandi and Brett. And just like backyards and beautiful receptions. ;)

The Proposal
Wedding Style
Our colours were muted pastels. I didn't really want a theme, we wanted the flowers to be the hero of the décor, the bridal party to feel at ease and for our guests to feel like they had stepped into a whimsical, laden-with-fairy-lights, bursting-with-sweet-peas, romantic wedding. I was inspired by my mother: effortlessly stylish, soft and beautiful. SERVICE PROVIDERS

I got out of the shower, went to my bedroom and there was a note and rose petals all over the bed. The note told me to go down to the tree 'where we decided to become boyfriend and girlfriend' some five years earlier. I was in my towel and started barrelling out the house before I quickly decided it was best to throw on some actual clothes. My mind was hazy so I ended up in back-to-front leggings and Brett's T-shirt. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I ran down the garden and there he was, on one knee. We cried, we hugged and we laughed. And to this day a carving of 'N+B' in a heart, remains in our tree.
