Abbie & Tawhiti’s Relaxed Summer Wedding at Tironui Farm

Pizza under the olive trees, champagne at sunset and a giant Mr & Mrs tiramisu to finish the night.

For Abbie & Tawhiti, every decision was guided by one simple idea – creating a day that felt true to them. Relaxed but elevated, romantic without being overdone, and filled with the people they love most.

Set amongst the rolling grounds of Tironui Farm, their celebration embraced the beauty of a New Zealand summer, with guests gathering for an alfresco dinner beneath the olive trees before dancing the night away.

Inspired by the natural surroundings, their palette of greens, creams and whites reflected the groomsmen’s pounamu, while subtle touches of red paid tribute to their snowy proposal, where a tiny ribbon was tied around the engagement ring to make sure it didn’t disappear into the snow.

One of our favourite details? The reception. Long tables beneath the olive trees, champagne flowing at sunset, wood-fired pizza served fresh from the food truck, and a giant Mr & Mrs tiramisu instead of a traditional wedding cake. Relaxed, memorable and so much fun.
