Abi & Clay’s Perth City Farm Wedding

Perth City Farm always makes a picture perfect backdrop and when Abi and Clay discovered they do weddings, they booked theirs without without delay. The pair tied the knot last October in a colourful ceremony with a hybrid feel (Abi narrowed it down to urban/harvest/industrial/rustic) and James Simmons captured their vibrant day.

When it comes to the story of how they met, this couple has a classic Perth tale – it all started at Little Creatures. After a big day out at RottoFest, a slightly inebriated Clay had followed his friends to the brewery, only to set his sights upon Abi, a mutual friend he was yet to meet. They shared a pizza and according to Clay he doesn’t recall much of the night, but he does remember Abi’s smile. Cute!

The existing vibe at Perth City Farm is equal parts quaint-garden and industrial-cool, so with Stacey Clark Stylist on board, the venue couldn’t have looked better. The always epic Fox & Rabbit produced some stunning florals for the day and A Moveable Feast kept bellies full with an impressive shared feast.

If Abi and Clay could pass on some advice, it would be to go all out. “You only get married once, you don’t want to look back with any regrets,” says Abi. “Also, make sure the night is about you as a couple. It can be very easy to get immersed enjoying the night with your friends and family and suddenly realise you haven’t seen your new husband/wife for over an hour. Make sure you find each other as much as you can and soak it up as a couple!”

For her bridal look, the gorgeous Abi paired her Rue de Seine frock with a beautiful headpiece by Jannie Baltzer, while Cat from Head Studio was responsible for her lovely locks and Brittany Mason worked her makeup magic.

Fox & Rabbit are a firm Nouba favourite when it comes to floristry and it sounds like Bec has won herself some more fans. “Bec is truly the sweetest person, and we let her imagination run wild for our wedding! We are so glad that she did, as the flowers were breathtaking!”

Stacey and Jess of Stacey Clarke Stylist worked their magic, orchestrating a seriously stunning set up and the bride and groom were beyond impressed. “They were an absolute godsend! We had so much fun working with these two, and we can’t recommend them highly enough! We want to have a second wedding just so we have an excuse to use these guys again!!”

If you’ve ever graced the Subiaco Markets, you might be familiar with homemade crumpet vendor Mr Drummond's. Abi and Clay had him bake up 200 crumpets for their wedding favours, which they paired with little jars of honey and homemade jam. Perfect next-day recovery breakfast!
