New Farm Park Wedding // Madi & Tristan

Today, we want to share a heartwarming story of a small, intimate, and incredibly fun wedding that took place at New Farm Park in the heart of Brisbane. As the wedding planner, we had the pleasure of helping this wonderful couple create a memorable micro wedding experience that truly captured the essence of their love.

A Love Story in New Farm Park

Meet Madi and Tristan – a couple who knew that bigger isn't always better when it comes to celebrating their love. They wanted an intimate wedding that would be a reflection of their personalities and a celebration with their closest family and friends. So, New Farm Park with its charm and the iconic Rotunda became their chosen backdrop for this beautiful day.

The Rotunda Ceremony

The Rotunda in New Farm Park is the perfect spot for an intimate wedding ceremony. Madi and Tristan exchanged their vows surrounded by the lush greenery, with the Brisbane River as a backdrop. The simplicity and elegance of the Rotunda allowed the couple's love to shine, and the joy on their faces was palpable.

A Pop-Up Picnic Under the Fig Tree

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds, along with their guests, made their way to the picturesque Fig Tree area in the park. Here, a beautifully styled picnic by Brisbane Pop Up Weddings awaited them. Blankets, cushions and low tables were set up beneath the canopy of tree and the setting was relaxed, allowing guests to enjoy the serenity of the park while indulging in delicious food and drinks.

As Brisbane wedding planners, we are continually inspired by couples like Madi and Tristan who choose to celebrate their love in unique and meaningful ways. Whether you dream of a grand affair or a micro wedding like this one, remember that the most important thing is to create a day that reflects your love story and brings joy to your hearts.

The Ceremony was held at the Soiree Deck, Sofitel Brisbane Central. Stunning red blooms lined the aisle and arbour.

The couple said their vows in front of family & friends.

The history of a tea ceremony - the tea ceremony sees the newlyweds serve tea containing either two lotus seeds or two red dates to the groom’s family. The family are served in order, starting with the groom’s parents before progressing from oldest to youngest. After each family member takes a sip of their tea, they offer the couple a red envelope with money or jewellery inside.

Brisbane's beautiful architecture makes the perfect backdrop for Wedding photos.

For all the things my hands have held the best by far is you….

Even in modern Chinese weddings, the couples can take great liberty with choosing a Western-style ceremony, but the banquet remains a heavily-traditional affair out of respect for their parents and families.

Both sides of the family come together to host a bright and colourful celebration that usually includes between five and 10 courses for the main meal, filled with highly symbolic foods.

Let there be cake!

“Thank you again for making our modern Asian wedding at the Sofitel Brisbane such a memorable and enjoyable event for us and our family. The day absolutely surpassed all our expectations, your guidance throughout all the emails and meetings pre-event and all the behind the scenes efforts on the day together with the Sofitel team was such a credit to your skills and years of experience- everything was beautiful and perfect”. Siobhan & Dan.
