A lofty city warehouse, Nectarine Photography behind the lens and a florist in the family! Courtney and Matt’s romantic and softly hued wedding at Perth’s The Old Pickle Factory was set to be a stunner from the start.

The ceremony was held at Harold Boas Gardens in West Perth, sharing their love story with their friends and family. Adorned with whimsical florals, custom steel plinths by The Steel Art Co added a strong design element to the lush garden setting.

The Old Pickle Factory provided the perfect inner-city blank canvas with an industrial feel, the bride shares her styling inspiration. “It was all about the colour – muted greys and tonal blushes. Using subtle colours and textures I wanted to soften the space and create warmth in a clean and simple way.”

Courtney’s sister is the talented florist behind Floral Army, so there was no question that the blooms were going to be next level gorgeous. Mixing soft and velvety flora with orchids for a dramatic and modern aesthetic, the venue was transformed into a textural wonderland. Two floral chandeliers were the centerpiece of the warehouse space, with abundant groupings of hydrangea, phalaenopsis orchids and roses illuminated by gold dipped pendant globes from Micktric.

Opting for the social and relaxed vibe of a cocktail style reception, the couple worked with Creative Catering to create a modern New York inspired canape menu and ‘his & hers’ cocktails. The bride’s favourite element of the space was the lounge area, with blush velvet sofas from Event Artillery and two curved steel structures full of beautiful blooms and branches from her Grandmother’s garden.

Courtney had no idea what would be in her bouquet as her sister, the florist behind Floral Army, wanted to surprise her on the day. The bride shares, “I loved that my flowers were a surprise for me and couldn’t have imagined them any more beautiful.”

Courtney wore a delicate custom designed and made Helen Miraudo gown, which she paired with a Mode & Affaire feather bolero and floor length veil. Her girls matched the muted and pretty tones of the day in cool blush dresses from One Fell Swoop, and of course those heavenly bouqs by Floral Army.

Nectarine’s documentary photography style proved the perfect match for this modern affair. The couple share, “Loren blew us away with capturing not just us but the whole venue and feel of the day.”
