The nuptials took place in the afternoon, overlooking the picturesque lake, with all of Jessica and Shane's loved ones present. The stage was set at the base of the amphithetre, with a beautifully adorned wooden arch, decorated tastefully with vibrant native Australian flowers. The simple yet elegant charm admist the backdrop of nature's beauty reflected the couple's personalities and was the ideal place for Jessica and Shane to exchange their vows.
The couple's three children, Charlotte, Eamon and Patrick, brought a personal and memorable touch to the ceremony by reciting a poem they had written together. Their humorous and heartfelt verses added a unique touch to the proceedings, making it a highlight of the day for everyone present.
Creating the Look: The Perfect Hair and Makeup For a Rustic Wedding at Chapel Farm
We had the privilege of providing hair and makeup services for Jessica, her Mother Julie and her bridal party. Our talented artists, Jigs and Phoebe, worked diligently to ensure that everyone looked stunning.
Jessica’s Bridal Look
Jessica opted for a timeless and elegant look on her special day. She wore a simple yet striking white dress with a plunging neckline, side cut-outs and small train. Her bouquet was filled with Australian natives including proteas and banksias, in pinks and oranges which were offset against eucalyptus leaf sprigs.
Jigs, our expert hairstylist, created sleek Hollywood waves for Jessica. This classic hairstyle complemented her dress perfectly, adding a touch of old Hollywood glamour to her look.
Phoebe, our skilled makeup artist, crafted a natural yet glamorous makeup look for Jessica, enhancing her natural beauty with soft, neutral tones and a crisp eyeliner. She looked radiant and elegant and glowed throughout her special moment.
The Bridal Party
Jessica’s sister, Rachel, served as her bridesmaid, donning a dark moss green dress that added depth and richness to the bridal party's color palette. Rachel's two daughters, along with Jessica’s daughter, served as junior bridesmaids and wore charming burnt orange dresses, creating a cohesive and warm aesthetic that complemented the rustic theme. Jigs styled Rachel’s hair in soft waves similar to Jessica’s, ensuring a harmonious look for the bridal party.
The Reception
After the ceremony, guests moved to the reception area, an undercover space that exuded vintage charm. With stone walls, wooden beams, and whimsical fairy lights, the area felt cozy and inviting. A vintage chaise and wine barrels added to the rustic decor, creating a perfect setting for the evening's celebrations.
The reception featured a romantic life-sized L-O-V-E sign, softly illuminated with light bulbs, which became the focal point on the dance floor.
Celebrations and Speeches
The evening began with a cocktail-style service featuring an array of delicious canapés. Guests mingled, enjoyed the food, and soaked in the happy atmosphere.
