"Thank you so much to the The Pop Up Wedding Collective for the fantastic day we had.

The Old Church Red Hill
This gorgeous weatherboard church overlooks the pristine national park. Think white walls, wooden floors and a cozy pot bellied stove to keep you toasty on those chilly days. Walk down the aisle, or don’t… in this beautiful church to your partner waiting in front of the stunning picture window. Your teepee will be pitched with the valley as the perfect backdrop rain hail or shine. Enjoy sipping champagne with the views over Westernport Bay.
Located in Red Hill, this is our only winter venue for Boho Picnic Elopements.
Tanglewood Estate
This private winery is nestled amongst ancient Tangelwood Eucalypts and overlooks Port Phillip Bay. This premium, quintessentially Australian property is typically booked out years in advance for high-end weddings, magazine and branding photoshoots. Your tepee is pitched between their charming mud hut studio, built in the round, looking across to the rustic timber chapel and beyond to the bay. If the weather doesn’t behave on your day, we set up your tepee just inside the mudhut studio and throw the doors open to still fully appreciate the setting.
The Fitzroy Gardens
The heritage listed Fitzroy Gardens are a Melbourne insitution. Situated in the heart of Melbourne, in the central business district, this is the perfect location for our city friends or those visiting Melbourne. With great access and beautiful gardens this Boho Picnic Elopement is the perfect way to get hitched. We will erect your tepee on the lush lawns or in the case of inclement weather under the Temple of the Winds Rotunda. The gardens have many beautiful backdrops for your your styled photo shoot including the picturesque Conservatory with all year around flowering blooms. Whilst this Boho Picnic Elopement is bookable all year round, we do suggest the warmer months are more enjoyable.
A Mornington Peninsula Beach
The Mornington Peninsula boasts some of the best beaches in the world. Dip your toes in the water after saying your vows then retreat in your teepee for celebratory champagne.
We recommend the beautiful white sand beach at Mcrae with its clear, shallow aquamarine waters and lighthouse. However, if you have a favourite beach in mind chat with us.
We recommend only booking a beach elopement in the weather-dependable months of February and March. As beaches are publicly accessible spaces, and school is in progress, it has the added advantage of being quieter at these times.

"Naomi was beyond amazing
organising everything last minute as our due to our dates having to change. It was such a wonderful evening, the set up, the food, Naomi, the photographs and every little detail that had been thought about. Everything was even better than we ever imagined. I couldn't recommend Naomi highly enough for all the extra details she thinks of and for just a simply magical celebration."
