NGA Sculpture Garden Marquee Wedding
Polly and Sander
Like many couples in 2020, Polly and Sander threw away the rule book and got hitched their own way. They had their stylish wedding reception at the National Gallery of Australia Sculpture Garden Marquee with an intimate group of their closest friends and family- and then a week later, they flew to Melbourne and had their registry ‘ceremony’- then left Australia a week after that to start their new lives in China. Never a dull moment with those two!
