It was definitely a case of keeping it all in the family when Emma Graves and Ryan Watson married after a 12 year relationship in March.
Choosing the bride’s stunning family property as the backdrop for both the wedding ceremony and the reception, the couple also nominate seeing their young daughters walk down the aisle as an unforgettable moment for them on the day.
The bridesmaids, Sienna Polychronopoulos, Sophie Clark, Kate Graves and Sara Lowke, along with the adorable flower girls, were resplendent in pale lemon, while the bride wore a Danielle Frankel gown and Madame Tulle Veil.
The groom wore Joe Black and his attendants were, Jarrod Traynor, Mitchell Fox, Lucas Watson and Owen Watson.
The home of Nicky and Geoff Graves proved a particularly leafy and tranquil backdrop for the nuptials, complemented by the natural, classic white and green floral styling by Fleur Social and Furnishings, items by Sash Events, White Marquee, Adelaide Party Hire and Olympic Party Hire.
The 115 guests were treated to catering by Vintage Chef Co and a delectable three layer cake by Duo Cake Design.
The couple met at Faith Lutheran College, with the groom’s parents, Judy and Andrew Watson, also Barossans, of Lyndoch.
The couple has said a, “big thank you to all our family for all their help in setting up our wedding. We couldn’t have done it without them!!”
Emma and Ryan are yet to honeymoon but are planning to escape the Barossan winter for a July family holiday to Bali.
