Love stories often follow familiar paths, but Natalie and Craig chose to write theirs with bold strokes and heartfelt moments. This wedding was not just a celebration of their union but a vivid expression of their personalities and family bonds. Natalie’s choice to wear a black wedding dress broke tradition and set the tone for a day filled with authenticity and joy. The ceremony took place in the lush, serene setting of the botanical gardens, followed by a lively party at Royal on the Park, where two families and their children blended seamlessly into one.

Tips for Couples Planning a Unique Wedding

Natasha and Craig’s wedding offers inspiration for couples who want to create a celebration that reflects their true selves. Here are some practical tips based on their experience:

Don’t be afraid to break tradition. Wearing a non-traditional dress or incorporating unique elements can make your day more personal and memorable.
Include family in meaningful ways. Blending families or involving children can add warmth and connection to the celebration.
Personalise every detail. From music to decorations, small touches make a big difference.
Hire a photographer who understands your vision. Capturing authentic moments requires a photographer who connects with you and your story.

Where was the wedding? Royal on the Park is located in Brisbane CBD.

What was the ceremony like? Directly across the road is the Botanical Gardens where the wedding ceremony was held. Green gardens, a water feature make for a lovely backdrop for your wedding photos.

Where was the reception? Back at Royal on the park the spacious reception rooms with vintage ceiling add detail to your reception photos.

What photography locations were used? Adding to the greenery of the botanical gardens I like to wonder up to QUT and Government house to add some lovely vintage architecture to your photos, and if timing permits the fairy lights on the trees at night a spectacular.

Is accomodation on site? Yes this is a hotel so plenty of accommodation on site.

What are the wet wether options? As this venue is located in the CBD there are many beautiful wet weather options around the venue for amazing wedding photos.
