Tiny House on the Prairie Wedding – Nicola & Leigh

Nicola and Leigh’s charming Tiny House on the Prairie wedding in Cudlee Creek was a celebration filled with love, laughter, and a touch of adventure. The Adelaide Hills provided the perfect backdrop for a day that was as warm in spirit as it was in temperature.

The couple chose to exchange vows in a grassy area off to the side of the property, opting for a serene tree-lined setting rather than the lake as a backdrop. This thoughtful choice allowed Nicola to make her grand entrance through the picturesque archway, walking straight up the aisle. Their fun-loving nature was evident from the start, with mini golf and other playful activities set up for guests to enjoy under the shade cloth erected by the lake.

Pre-Ceremony

Arriving early to capture the day’s unfolding moments, the atmosphere was a blend of excitement and lighthearted anticipation. Nicola and Leigh moved about, greeting family and friends, while also seeking out any hint of a breeze to keep cool. The refurbished reception space at the Tiny House on the Prairie proved invaluable, offering a comfortable refuge before the main event began.

The bridal party, buzzing with energy, shared stories and laughter as they made their final preparations. Leigh, ever the devoted footy fan, kept the mood light with his easygoing nature, sharing laughs with his groomsmen. Meanwhile, Nicola, radiant in her gown, took a quiet moment to soak in the reality of the day ahead. The joyful chaos of pre-ceremony preparations always carries a special kind of magic, and this wedding was no exception.
