With the help of wedding stylist Maddison Pride, the happy couple set about creating their dream “green” wedding. Yes, green, as in organic and eco-friendly. From the locally sourced food and flowers to the sustainable, biodynamic wine and hand crafted gift favours, they’ve proved that going green can still be super stylish.

The four bridesmaids, Kate Kendall, Chloe Morello, Elle Halliwell and Bianca’s twin sister, Chantel Cheah, were each dressed in different LOVER The Label gowns, which highlighted their individual styles. Their ultra-lush, whimsical bouquets were supplied by Southern Highland’s local grower, Hope Farm. They were made up of pale pink peonies. As for the hair and make-up, it was all about natural beauty with glowing skin, nude lips and tousled locks.

“We all wore white lace, which is quite non-traditional. I wanted the wedding to not just be about me, but everyone who was there, especially my bridesmaids…So the celebration was about all of us together as one,” Bianca told Vogue Brides.

The cake

The stunning naked cake was handmade by Gillian Bell using organic peanut butter cream, delectable dark chocolate ganache and locally foraged edible flowers. A match made in heaven according to the bride and groom.
