Apart from their outfits (which the bride made) their photographer, some champers and a homemade cake, they really didn't bother with anything else!

Nat and Alfredo got married at the Botanic Gardens in Sydney, Australia on the 24th of August. They were inspired by Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet and Frida Kahlo for their theme.
