The winery surrounds are so beautiful we kept the decorations simple.
Our ceremony was on an island surrounded by water and gardens. We had topiary plants lining the aisle.
Tell me about the running of the day what time did you start preparing etc?
Amazingly enough timing wasn't an issue when we were getting ready, we seemed to have plenty of time to take it all in.
It was probably due to the fact that we were so excited and up early talking at 4.30am. We also had a stunning view of Smiths Beach from our Apartment which was very calming and relaxing.
