Laura and James's wedding at Bimbadgen Estate on Palmers Lane in the Hunter Valley was one for the history books. From the moment I arrived, there was a warmth and ease to everything. Laura's happy and bubbly personality and James' cruisy kind vibe was felt throughout the day.

What made this wedding extra special was the DIY charm woven through every corner. Talented friends and family brought the day to life with their own hands — The homemade cake, the table styling, the talented florist friend who arranged the flowers... 
Colour, warmth, fun and and nostalgia ran through the whole day, from the rich tones of the Hunter Valley landscape to the laughter filled reception as the sun went down over the hills behind the vines. Bimbadgen Estate on Palmers Lane is the perfect cozy and intimate setting for for a country wedding, with its rolling estate, beautiful light and sense of being genuinely away from the world for a day.

If you're planning a Hunter Valley wedding — whether at Bimbadgen, Palmers Lane or anywhere across the region — I'd love to hear about it.
