Be prepared to have some serious wedding venue envy! Sutherland Kovach Studio sent us this gem all the way from New Zealand with stunning views of Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. The whole affair has a casual, backyard feel to it but still shines with elegance. I love the wild, garden party arrangements and handcrafted details made out of vintage paper.

From Sutherland Kovach Studio… Amy and Matt got married on New Year’s Eve on Waiheke Island in New Zealand. Matt is from the UK and Amy is a New Zealander, and they met while crewing yachts in Europe. Most of their wedding was organised over e-mail as the yacht they were on sailed around the world. They chose Waiheke Island as it’s a short boat ride from Auckland and would make a great holiday destination for their guests, many of whom were also travelling great distances to celebrate with them.
Their ceremony and reception were held at Mudbrick Vineyard, a truly beautiful venue overlooking Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. The bridal party got ready and had some of their pictures taken at the stunning Delamore Lodge.
The flowers were done by Waiheke florist Wildflower, following Amy’s (very brief) brief of ‘just picked’. Amy and her stepmother folded over a hundred paper cranes to hold each placecard at the tables, and the orders of service were printed onto vintage papers. Family wedding pictures spanning the generations were displayed throughout the dining room.
Guests toasted the bride & groom and partied into 2011 with the aid of the local Chocolate Fish Band.

That bride is so naturally stunning! They took my breath away. Her florals are superb.
Lovely! Would love a New Zealand wedding and the bride is gorgeous.
Beautiful!!
Wow! Fantastic! So glad you shared this gorgeous wedding and gorgeous images. Beautiful styling. What a light, airy, yet elegant feel to this day.
Beautiful venue... beautiful flowers and stunning photos!!
What an amazingly romantic event... the flowers show off their natural beauty and the relaxed layed-back feel to this kiwi celebration is making me homesick! Lovely couple.... and the name of the band is making me nostalgically hungry:)
WOW at those centrepieces, what gorgeous colour and the origami is ridiculously cute! I think i love living in the UK then i see weddings like this and think how the weather can contribute to a beautiful wedding and it makes me want to move abroad!
Yet another beautiful wedding, in beautiful New Zealand! I love being a New Zealand!
I love these programs! Does anyone know where they got the paper from? Thanks so much!
