I think a more secluded wedding would be BEAUTIFUL. Something a bit different, you know? And it sounds like it would be easier for you to plan for that area, as opposed to Melbourne.
@jaguar: I suppose in a way having less choice makes it easier, all the options are still beautiful, but its like 5-10 venues to choose from, instead of 50+ in Melbourne. This is where I am looking at having the wedding http://brimbrimgardens.com.au/weddings.htm
I'm thinking of making it a weekend wedding, seeing most people will be travelling about 1.5-2.5 hours to get to Buninyong. We'd have a welcome/rehearsal dinner on Friday night, then the boys can play golf at the local club on Saturday morning, while the girls can visit with me for champagne breakfast before I start getting ready. Saturday afternoon would be the wedding and reception, then on Sunday morning we'd have a farewell brunch.
@Roux I live in Adeliade not a rural area, but we got married in Victor Harbor and Port Elliot which are 1.5 hrs out of Adelaide and everyone stayed for the weekend and we had a dinner friday night everyone went to a nice pub, good way for people who didn't know each other to get to before the wedding the wedding was on the Saturday and we had a big Bbq on the Sunday for lunch. It was great, made the wedding last longer!
@simpleandchic: Wow that sounds like so much fun! Thats kind of what we are aiming for. How many people did you have at your wedding? Did they all go to all events?
@Roux we had 60 guests which made it lovely and intimate.
@simpleandchic: I wish we could have 60 guests! My family alone is like 50 people. We are trying to keep it to 100-120. I'm hoping though that having a contry wedding will mean that some of FI's family won't come. I know that sounds horrible, but we seriously only see these people at weddings! They aren't close and usually see each other less than once a year, I don't really want to pay huge amounts of money to feed people who don't really know us and won't be a big part of our lives.
hi ladies, i live in "rural" darwin and planning a wedding in my home state of victoria. Dont know if darwin is called rural or remote but either way its a long way from everyone else =)
@choolove: Welcome! What bought you up to Darwin? is your FI from there? I've never been to Darwin, but its on our to-go list. :)
@Roux: Hi Roux, thanks for that. My partner is in the defence so with that i have followed him around Australia. Darwin is beautiful and would recommend people to visit! its the kind of place you have to learn to get use to living at due to the change of enviroment and also the people here. i see your living in Buninyong, that is such a beautiful place and same with ballarat.
@choolove: We are hoping to one day travel around Australia in a caravan or campervan, and if we did we would definately go to Darwin. What branch of the military is your FI in? For a while Mr. Roux was considering joining the airforce, but eventually decided to go back to uni and do primary school teaching instead.
@Roux: i would love to do that, ive only done from sydney to darwin and in a car =( my FI is in the Navy which means many more postings to come and many more moves YAY!! Airforce is good actually i would have considered it back when i was 18, i think becoming a primary school teacher was probably a better idea as i hardly see my FI.
Hi Ladies,
While we live very close to Melbourne at the moment, we're getting married in the Dandenong Ranges which is a mountainous (surprise, surprise!) rainforest area about an hour and half from Melbourne. Its so beautiful there, gotta love Australia!
@banana_anna: There aew so many beautiful venues up there! My uncle got married at Nathania Springs, and I have a friend getting married at Chateau Wyuna in April. We looked at Sky High, and just today I was thinking about changing from having the wedding in Buninyong to Poet's Corner. I love it up there!

Hey girlies,
I've just moved from Melbourne to a little town called Buninyong, about 15km south of Ballarat. So far I'm loving the quiet contry life, although the local foodworks closing at 7.30pm has caught me out a few times.
When it comes to planning the wedding, I'm thinking it will be much harder though, I can't exactly duck into melbourne GPO and try on dresses after work like I used to be able to.
We are thinking of having the wedding up here though, there are some beautiful private gardens that do weddings, so we are looking into that option.
So does anyone live in a rural area? Any tips for planning a wedding in the country?
