From seasonal blooms set amongst the natural arbour of trees to an outdoor setting that invites guests to make the most of the gardens at Gabbinbar, this romantic editorial by the visionary minds at Trent & Jessie, Maddie Jayde and Elle Events Co. showcases an idyllic setting for your dream summer wedding.

THE CEDAR LAWN

The Cedar Lawn is one of four beatuiful ceremony locations at Gabbinbar and is the perfect choice for couples wanting to make the most of their floral decorations while embracing a backdrop filled with natural greenery that creates a forest-like feeling. This tranquil area provides a majestic Himalayan cedar tree at the northern aspect and is framed by ornamental pear trees and a precision-cut orange jasmine hedge.

Year-round this ceremony location showcases the seasons with vibrant golden hues in autumn, lush greens in summer and dazzling mauve in spring.

EMBRACE A CEREMONY LOCATION THAT WORKS FROM ANY ANGLE

For their whimsical and romantic photoshoot, Trent and Jessie artfully shifted the focal point to the left of the majestic Himalayan Cedar, where they embraced the pear trees' natural arbour. This choice created a serene and picturesque backdrop that perfectly highlighted the stunning seasonal floral arrangements by talented Brisbane florist, Maddie Jayde Floral Designs, allowing this stunning feature to blend harmoniously with the surroundings.

This enchanting set-up is an ideal choice for couples looking to capture the natural forest ambience of this beautiful space.

AN OUTDOOR RECEPTION

Meticulously manicured and adorned with a kaleidoscope of seasonal blooms, summer is the perfect time to embrace an outdoor reception. Gabbinbar's garden invites guests to immerse themselves in a realm of tranquillity and botanical wonder.

The creative team behind this romantic editorial photoshoot drew inspiration from a European garden party, arranging the banquet tables on our lush, sprawling lawns , framed beautifully by the majestic fir tree to the west and the historic homestead to the south. Atop crisp white linen, Elle & Co. curated an elegant mix of delicately textured fine bone china with scalloped edges from Table For Louis, complemented by soft gold cutlery. Sweet arrangements of poppies brought bursts of soft pastel hues, infusing a playful touch into the overall design.
