An Elegant and Rustic Wedding in Byron Bay, New South Wales
The couple tied the knot under a majestic fig tree in Byron Bay, New South Wales. The celebration unfolded at the Fig Tree Restaurant; a historic farmhouse now converted into an iconic dining space. The venue had a boho rustic vibe, nestled on a picturesque hilltop with views from the hinterland to the ocean and European gardens – the perfect winter destination to celebrate their love.
With the Byron Bay lighthouse as a backdrop and the venue adorned with grapevines, an olive grove, ocean views, and the iconic fig tree, the day unfolded as pure magic.

Finding The Dream Dress
Courtney's bridal experience began at our Gold Coast boutique. The bride already knew what she was looking for and had a specific vision in mind – she wanted to feel elegant, confident, and simplistic.
As stylist Jasmine encouraged Courtney to try on a few gowns, the last dress was the one that stood out – the Clo Crepe - it was instant chemistry. Courtney immediately fell in love with the design.” It hugged my body in all the right places, and the detailing at the back is just sensational”, she shares. After dreaming of the Clo Crepe, Courtney could not help but go back the next morning to say, ‘yes’ to the dress.
Advice for Future Brides
Having 60 guests with them to celebrate their special day, the couple could not help but feel quite nervous about standing up in front of everyone. Eventually, they realized that nothing else mattered on the day. All they could think of was their love for each other.
Courtney's words of wisdom are to enjoy every minute of your day as it all flies by before you know it. She also recommends spending as much time as possible with your partner and not getting overwhelmed by the little things. Not everything will be perfect, and the fun fact is, we often don't even notice the imperfections on our special day.
