Ben and Chris - A Vintage Day

Chris and Ben, who both share an avid love and curiosity for all things vintage, celebrated their union on October 20th, 2015 amongst the rolling green hills and regal walls of the famous Werribee mansion in Melbourne. Their gorgeous 1920s vintage Great Gatsby theme was evident in each aspect of their special day, whether with their stunning stationery, thoughtful decoration or suit choices. The couple really took the theme to the next level by asking their guests to dress in Great Gatsby style which created stunning photographs and really meant that the theme was celebrated seamlessly. 

The couple run a vintage store, meaning that they were able to source every element of their wedding from thrift stores and antique suppliers, creating a magical oasis of towering ferns, copper details and vintage seating areas. Their gorgeous decoration perfectly complemented the 1920’s décor of Melbourne’s oldest and grandest mansion – the day was truly something that even Jay Gatsby would be proud of.
