Boho Elopement
Folly Farm, Olinda
Details.
A group of local Melbourne creatives came together to collaborate on a fun boho-inspired styled Wedding shoot at gorgeous Folly Farm, a hill station property (circa 1912) situated in the leafy Dandenong Ranges.
We wanted to show couples how they could still have a beautiful intimate Wedding or Elopement, despite the Covid restrictions at the time (and limitations on social gatherings and events). So many couples had been forced to cancel or postpone their Wedding plans during 2020, and many were really keen to still get married…
The Ceremony location was set up in a gently sloping field, near a copse of silver birch trees. We styled our rustic timber arbour with one of our custom-made macrame backdrops, with an abundance of boho-style dried palms and fresh roses in soft pink and ivory tones. A gorgeous vintage double-Peacock chair and a coffee table with one of our macrame runners were used for the post Ceremony ‘Signing’.
Our ‘Bride’ wore a boho-style flowing lace gown and her gorgeous auburn hair was styled in soft waves with dried flowers woven through it. Our ‘Groom’ wore relaxed Chinos with a White Linen Shirt, leather braces and a felt hat. We created the Bridal Bouquet and Groom’s Boutonniere from both dried and fresh florals and foliage, in soft pink and neutral tones.
A picnic for two was set up in the garden, with one of the beautiful rock walls as the backdrop. Vintage Timber crate tables with scattered cushions in neutral tones, atop white quilts, set the scene for an intimate post-Ceremony picnic. Vintage crystal and rose toned glassware, brass goblets, timber and gold cutlery and floral plates were featured, along with a lavish grazing board.
Around the garden, a beautiful Macrame Swing hung from a pear tree with deep purple clematis meandering up its trunk. In a nearby Chestnut tree, a double Macrame Swing-chair was hung, scattered with soft pink cushions.
Post Ceremony photos were taken with the llamas, around the garden, with a gorgeous baby-blue vintage Kombi, with more magical golden hour photos captured in the nearby forest.
