Sheila and Maurice didn’t need a wedding to feel as though they were ‘one’, but decided to have one anyway – any excuse for a party, we say! They invited family and friends to Camden Town Farm for a cute and quirky outdoor love fest.

With an open area to play with and Bedouin Tent as their only refuge, these sweethearts had the freedom to be creative with their catering choices and called in some of Sydney’s best food trucks. With Gelato Messina, Street Sliders, That Vintage Caravan and Yang’s Food Truck on-site, guests were treated to a variety of tasty options and it’s safe to say no one went hungry.

It turns out Shelia is quite the DIY darling and although she enjoyed getting her hands dirty, she warns that DIY is not for the faint-hearted. “To me, it is worth it and very satisfying in the end, receiving compliments from family and friends.” Adding, “But unless it is something that you enjoy, leave it to the professionals!”

Sheila also took it upon herself to arrange her wildflower bouquet and crown. She sourced the flowers from the local market and if her interior design career ever falls through, we think she’d have a successful future in floristry!

Channeling a vintage vibe, Maurice finished his dapper look with a floral print bow tie from Gloiberry.

Shelia shopped around for a month or two before she set her sights on the Grace Loves Lace ‘Loren’ dress. As soon as she did, she was sold.

Sheila was responsible for the styling of the day and we're digging the cute country-festival vibe!

In keeping with the unconventional conduct, Maurice made quite an entrance, riding a vintage bicycle down the aisle, to the original ‘Cotton Eye Joe’ no less.
