Hello May Wedding Feature | Nao & Aaron

A Heartfelt Celebration with a Playful Twist at The Bower Estate

Aaron and Nao’s wedding at The Bower Estate was a refreshing celebration of love that broke all the rules, in the best way possible. With private vows, party games in place of speeches, and a traditional Japanese sake barrel-breaking ceremony, the day reflected their personalities and cultures with heart and humour. Their focus? Creating a joyful, unforgettable experience for their guests – complete with spectacular hinterland views, an indulgent feast by Ridgeway Catering, and an atmosphere that felt more like a celebration than a formal event. “It was all about throwing a big, fun party,” they shared, and we’d say mission accomplished!

From a meaningful first look on the cottage deck to a dreamy lantern-lit exit under the fig tree, every moment was beautifully captured by the talented Cooper Brady. Thoughtful personal touches made the day truly special – like hand-drawn reception signage by Nao’s sister and custom favours featuring photos of each guest. Set against the breathtaking scenery of The Bower Estate, their celebration was full of laughter, connection, and creativity. For couples dreaming of something a little different, Aaron and Nao’s wedding is a perfect reminder that your day can be whatever you want it to be; fun, unique, and completely your own.
