Vintage Glam Southern Highlands Country Wedding Inspiration

Modern Wedding Posted: September 23, 2015

3548POTTER-R7-09-2-Edit

Yesterday on the blog, we shared an example at how deliciously divine bridesmaid dresses can be pared back in an outdoor setting. Today, we’re sharing a #swoonworthy example of how opulent styling and decor can add an air of elegance to country weddings. A common misconception with country weddings is that they need to be rustic and casual. Stylist and florist, Dominique Flowers shows us how the perfect lavish details can turn a casual country soiree into a dashing coutryside affair.

With meandering gardens, heritage buildings, a magnificent Victorian ballroom and the rolling Southern Highland hills as a backdrop, Summerlees Estate was the perfect venue. Add stunning gowns, dapper suits and divine decor and you get the prettiest vintage-glam country wedding inspiration.
