Tucked away in the Tweed hinterland in northern New South Wales, and only a 15 minute drive from the Gold Coast airport, is something of a hidden gem of a venue. Surrounded by spectacular views, untouched farmland and rolling hills it made the perfect backdrop for this Mexican-inspired styled shoot. Visionary Bree Nicholls and her team at Gold Coast Pop Up Weddings and sister company, Your Wedding Planner, shared these words about the inspiration behind the day.

“We wanted to create something truly unique for this private property. The Mexican-inspired colour palette gave us an opportunity to use rich earth tones coexisting with cacti and contemporary decor to create a most inviting wedding event. We felt we truly captured a desert-feel splashed against a backdrop of greenery.

“The ceremony was positioned to capture the southern view of the property - overlooking the spanning Tweed River and surrounding sugarcane valleys, banana fields and dairy farms.

"For the reception, we focused on creating a setting for celebration and grace amidst family and friends. The table styling brought about rustic oranges and earthy neutral-tones paired with greenery. The team at Inksy cleverly designed matching Cacti menus that doubled as place cards and featured inventive pull-out sections to for readability. With the on-trend Star marquee, chill-out picnic zone, Rambling Rose caravan bar and pop-up oyster cart, the reception area showed how Brides and Grooms can create an array of choice for guests be entertained and relax. The entire setting oozed simple sophistication.

"The amazing florals were the work of Flower Studio Gold Coast who created chic, unstructured designs to compliment the colour palette.

"Gareth K Catering created a wedding cake that continued the floral and textured themes to beautiful effect on an understated two tiered cake.

“The bridal wear provided by Gabrielle Rose Collective is Australian-made, using the most sustainable and eco-friendly practices.”
