Spring is one of the most beautiful times to tie the knot in Australia – there’s no Summer humidity and it is warm enough to embrace outdoor wedding ceremonies at wineries, beaches or your favourite park.
There is the lingering smell of blooming gardens, salty sea breezes or grapes maturing on lush vines, as loved up couples choose September for their big day.
