Creative opportunity
With its breathtaking backdrop, Maleny Retreat provided the wide open space for Chantelle and Chris to create a wedding with a unique festival feel. “We were after a fun, mini festival vibe at our wedding so our friends and family could relax and be themselves. Our styling was rustic, natural, simple and eco-friendly.” As an arborist, Chris was keen to incorporate timber into the design. “Chris collected, cut, sanded and varnished round slices of wood for the table centrepieces. We also made wooden coasters for our guests. Instead of name cards we burnt their names into the coasters.”
