Great Wedding Ideas

Katie Holding & Antoine Lavigne - 11th December 2010

Antoine and I love wine and food so the reception venue was a crucial decision. We planned our wedding based on the availability of our favorite country Victorian restaurant, Oscar W’s, and to ensure guests could mingle and enjoy the wine and food we choose share platters placed in the middle of six long tables. We wanted the table decorations to look unstructured and wild and to also complement the amazing view outside, so we used a mix of eclectic jars and bottles and wildflowers to create a look that was a reflection of both of our styles. The name place cards were hand written and wrapped around the napkins with a sprig of rosemary and twine.

After spending the months leading up to the wedding working in India, I was excited to spend time with Antoine and 80 of our closest friends and family. The wedding was held in my hometown, by the river where I grew up, and is a special place to both of us. Antoine and I love to walk down by the river when we’re home visiting my family. Originally we had planned to hold the ceremony at the nearby Moama Wharf, however just prior to our wedding day the wharf went under, during flooding in the area. Just two days out from the wedding we were lucky to secure the sought after Echuca Wharf for the ceremony.
