WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | RAINY DAYS

Yes it's true - rainy wedding days CAN be WED-Spirational!!

With rain on the way this weekend it's a good time to acknowledge - weather is the one thing you can't control. Our advice? Have a backup plan and surround yourself with amazing vendors who go above and beyond to make sure your day is EPIC!

Then relax, have fun and embrace everything about your special day, no matter what the weather brings. (Plus there's a good chance you'll get all those outside pics as well as some very special inside ones!)

Need some rainy day wedspiration - check out these gorgeous pics from Amy and Sam's Spring wedding - WOW x 100%

Good luck to all the couples getting married this weekend!

SNEAK PEAK | BRIT & MITCH

The Spring blossom was absolutely EXPLODING for Brit & Mitch's Wedding Day at The Chateau on Thursday!

With the garden bringing all the promise of the season, fabulous warm weather AND excitment that was palpable - it was a day to remember.

Thanks so much for sharing these sneak peaks by Photography. We've added our behind the scenes pics of the grounds and reception with blooms from Magnolia Blooms with arbor arrangments later repurposed to Bridal Table - gorgeous AND clever!

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | WHEN TWO CEREMONIES ARE BETTER THAN ONE!

Will you choose our Original Garden ceremony area, the Open Lawn under the Elms, or maybe even venture into Bendigo's the majestic Sacred Heart Cathedral which is just minutes away?

For P & M, the answer involved balancing an epic January wedding day with two services (and THE cutest pup!). Starting with a service at Bendigo's Sacred Heart Cathedral, guests then moved to Chateau Dore for a traditional Sri Lankan service, complete with dancers, drummers, and stunning traditional attire. It was the perfect combination!

Our January gardens were in full bloom with roses, lavender, and hydrangeas, offering plenty of shade under the mighty Elms. It was a glorious summer day filled with love, laughter, and rich traditions.

It was totally WED-SPIRATIONAL!

WEDSPIRATION WEDNESDAY | ALEX + ANTHONY

Stunning spring blooms, heartfelt family-led processional and a heirloom wedding portrait were just few of the special moments from Alex & Anthony's wedding on Saturday. Wedding season certainly kicked of with a BANG at The Chateau!

With Alex hailing from one of Bendigo's most talented musical families, it was a no-brainer for her sisters Alana & Courtney to "sing" her down the aisle. The moment embraced the sense of family and connection with all present, and there wasn't a dry-eye left in the house.

As day gave way to evening, guests were treated to fabulous food, w**e & entertainment with the added experience of seeing a magical portrait of the couple come to life. Alex & Anthony had arranged for Rhi from to paint their wedding day portrait and it was not only enchanting by absolutely breathtaking!

A totally WED-SPIRATIONAL occassion with so much beauty, love and joy on a gorgeous Spring day. Congratulations Alex & Anthony!

A sneak peak of the couple here by Jim from together with some pics by us of the fabulous blooms from Meadow Bloom Flower Farm, enjoy!
