This morn we have a super sweet Aussie wedding held at the groom’s family home in Jaspers Brush, NSW (south of Sydney). The property was once a strawberry farm run by Joost’s parents and the couple carried the theme through their wedding.
They were married under a cedar tree at the back of the property, where Joost and his friends used to camp out as kids.
Kirsty’s amazing headpiece was made by her friend Michelle Collison of Shady Fig. She incorporated strawberries and strawberry leaves in a nod to the history of their venue.
They were married by Kirsty’s mum (we have to use the proper Aussie lingo) and their two children Oscar and Ruby were integral parts of the celebration.
The food was catered by Joost’s old friend and mentor who drove five hours with two other chefs to be there. The cake was made by Joost’s mum and Kirsty’s dad made the beer. They’re into food these families. Kirsty and Joost met when she opened a cafe and asked if Joost’s bakery could supply the bread. Cute, right?
For favors, Joost baked fig and walnut bread and Kirsty screen printed cute wrapping bags.
Love the luminarias in flour sacks!
Gorgeous day Kirsty and Joost. Congrats and thank you so much for sharing with us!

She looks so pretty and earthy! And I agree: those luminarias are such a great idea!
i love the maturity and humility in the faces and accoutrements, all of which reflect meaning, rather than opulence. beautiful!
That is one beautiful wedding! I love the style of the photos and the natural, outdoor set up

Elegant simplicity. It’s good to see the poms, as we’ll be doing the same. Thank you for sharing what must have been an incredible day!

Great wedding in here. Everything was captured in a really fantastic way. I love the couple and their families.
fig and walnut bread, yum! This wedding is beautiful.
I love the feel and pretty much everything about this wedding, I would love to do the same for mine in 2011 but i am totally bedazzled by the idea, i mean, what happens about caterer, electricity. toilets!!?? would love for someone to shine some light for me as our wedding will be in catalonia in spain and hiring a piece of land grabs me way more than a “wedding hotel” venue , any thoughts would be welcome…..
hi gem, bride (kirsty) here! thanks for your comment and compliments! I am no expert in wedding organisation but I’m more than happy to bounce ideas with you and share my experience, send me an email if you like
nice photography

Hi!! I absolutely LOVE the love bread and the printed bags….where did you get the bags? Thanks!!
Hi dana, I made them myself — if you can sew in a straight line then anyone can make them! and the screen printing is pretty straight forward too. I used the easy technique of using clear contact paper (is that an australian term?) to make a mask and then sticking it to the silk screen. good luck!
Stunning shots, watching them feels like listening to some Arctic Monkeys or watching streams of vintage-y art (see flickr.com/malenmoalboal)or bisaya short films in youtube. It’s just a marvel, and in a very unassuming non-overwhelming laid-back kind of way. ALL wedding should find essence here.
What are your centerpieces? I don’t know much about flowers but I love the look of the variety of greenery.
hi kristy, I used a mix of lotus pods, brunei and native gum…. not sure of the name of the green leaves with the yellow edges as my friend cut these from a bush from someones garden the day before the wedding! x
Thank you!!!
Hi! Love the post. I apologize if I missed this detail, but I am wondering how on earth the groom managed to provide fresh bread for the wedding?! I am planning a wedding and I love baking, and this is something I am definitely interested in doing. Did he freeze the bread? Bake it all the day before? Did he have help? Anything you can tell me to help me on my quest to give out fresh bread as favors would be greatly appreciated
Hi Bret, Joost owns his own sourdough bakery so that made it easy for us… their baking starts at 2pm in the afternoon and finishes at around midnight (he had to work the night before the wedding too!!) he had staff to help of course so it wasn’t so much of a huge undertaking. I encourage you to do it as we had some much wonderful response from our guests… many of them had it for breakfast the next day and loved it. best of luck!
(ps. we allocated one loaf per couple)
Kirsty, your wedding is just amazing! I only today booked my wedding down at Silos in Berry – looking at these photos is like looking at exactly how we want our day to be!
Can I please pick your brain – where did you sources the pom poms, flowers (other than those you picked), little jars etc?
Oh and is your husband at the Berry Sourdough Cafe? If so I had lunch there yesterday and it was great. Are they open for dinner?
Cheers
hi amy, thanks so much. feel free to email me and I’d be happy to share ideas… are you local? i know a lot of good local resources so I’d be happy to help.
I love the little bird hang tags. I saw some just like them on http://www.labelsonthefly.com/beer-labels.html
makes me smile
Congratulation! You guys look so fantastic and happy! All your photos are so stunning! Happy wedding! Thanks for sharing!
