Set among the vineyards of Pokolbin, Elsie and Tom’s 120-guest wedding was designed to feel completely at home within its Hunter Valley setting.
Working with the Mediterranean-inspired character of Iron Gate Estate, we created a refined wedding design that complemented the architecture, vineyard landscape and outdoor setting.
As the first wedding held at the estate, every element needed to be planned from the ground up. We brought in all the furniture and created two layout plans—one for the outdoor reception and another for the marquee held on standby in case of bad weather.
The ceremony was held in the gardens of Iron Gate Villa before guests moved to the winery for cocktail hour, followed by a seated, feasting-style dinner at long tables lit by fairy lights. The beautiful food and warm, attentive service from the Iron Gate Estate team were an important part of the experience.
The Bluebird Collective provided wedding design, styling and on-the-day coordination, bringing each part of the celebration together to create a day that felt elegant, considered and connected to its setting.
