Australian family turned 120-acre farm into thriving native habitat

Remember the scene from the Twilight saga, where Edward and Bella exchange vows in a clearing surrounded by wisteria and candlelight, the whole thing bathed in soft woodland light? Though fantasy, the scene stayed with enough people that forest weddings have become shorthand for intimate, magical, just-us-against-the-world celebrations. What if you could have a similar wedding in the midst of a forest that looks straight out of a fairytale?Getting married in a forest does feel different. There's something about woodland ceremonies: the intimacy, the dappled light and the feeling that you have stepped into a fantasy world. Bower Estate delivers exactly that aesthetic. Trees, suspended greenery and a transparent marquee that disappears into the hinterland sky create the kind of secluded clearing you'd think only existed in fiction. Tucked away in the Queensland hinterland near Natural Bridge, the family estate provides a dream-like wedding venue.
