Somersby Garden Wedding | Ash & Chris’ May Celebration

Ash and Chris’ May wedding at Somersby Gardens was the perfect blend of pretty garden romance, thoughtful florals, and joyful celebration. Surrounded by lush greenery and soft autumn light, their day felt relaxed, intimate, and beautifully paced.

Somersby Gardens is a favourite for Central Coast weddings, and in May it truly shines — cooler temperatures, gentle light, and a calm atmosphere that allows couples to slow down and enjoy every moment.

Getting ready among the gardens

The day began quietly, with Ash getting ready surrounded by meaningful details and soft, elegant florals that set the tone for the celebration ahead. The natural garden setting complemented the floral styling perfectly — refined, romantic, and never overdone.

Chris and the bridal party enjoyed a relaxed start to the day, with plenty of time to connect and take in the surroundings as guests arrived and the gardens came to life.

Ampitheatre ceremony at Somersby Gardens

Ash and Chris chose the Somersby Gardens amphitheatre for their ceremony — a beautiful, purpose-designed space nestled into the landscape. Florals framing the ceremony spot, the setting felt intimate and welcoming.

The ceremony was heartfelt and full of emotion, with smiles, laughter, and quiet moments that made it feel deeply personal. The amphitheatre created a sense of closeness, allowing everyone to feel part of the moment as Ash and Chris exchanged vows.

Canape's on the grassed lawn

Following the ceremony, guests moved to the grassed lawn area for canapés and drinks. This space is ideal for mingling, catching up, and enjoying the relaxed flow of a garden wedding. With plenty of room to move and beautiful greenery in every direction, it set the tone for a laid-back yet elegant afternoon.

Ash and Chris made the most of this time, spending it with their guests rather than disappearing for long periods — something many couples value when planning a Somersby garden wedding.

Pavillion reception with dancing and celebrating

As the afternoon turned into evening, the celebration continued in the Somersby Gardens pavilion, where the reception unfolded. The pavilion provided a warm, welcoming space for speeches, dinner, and plenty of dancing.

Once the formalities wrapped up, the dance floor filled quickly. There was a genuine sense of joy as guests danced, laughed, and celebrated well into the night — exactly the kind of atmosphere Ash and Chris had hoped for.

The Milky way to end the night

Later in the evening, the night sky delivered something truly special — a stunning view of the Milky Way above the gardens. Stepping away briefly from the pavilion, Ash and Chris shared a quiet moment under the stars, creating one of the most memorable images of the day.

It was a beautiful contrast to the energy of the reception — calm, intimate, and deeply meaningful.
