The best things in life aren’t things (although that gown just happens to be damn fine thing too)… they’re beautiful days like Amy and Steven’s romantic riverside nuptials. And you know you’re in Bestern Australia with wonderful waterside views like these. What a magical spot to say “I do”.

Following their Heathcote Reserve ceremony in Applecross, family and friends celebrated in style with the couple at the adjacent Bluewater Grill restaurant. Avoiding the fuss of an overly formal affair, Amy and Steven’s day was perfectly personal and unpretentious – right down to their choice of favourite vinyl records, framed instead of a guest book. Not to mention complementary flip flops for aching footsies that have taken a turn too many on the dance floor.

And let’s talk about that Lover gown! An unconventional off-the-rack choice can be equally as killer as a custom frock. Amy is one smart lady. We thank her and her new mister Steven, not to mention Carley from Saffron Photography, for sharing their big day with us.
