In a very poignant issue – our Green Issue, we couldn’t look past this incredible tale of Maggie & Jonesy and their complete Phillip Island DIY wedding. 

“We made absolutely everything for the wedding… We made all our decorations, brought all our own party lights and made giant flower arrangements.”

The use of pre-loved, up-cycled gear didn’t end with the main ceremony and reception decor. The Groom was also doing his bit to bring history to the present. Maggie details her Groom’s outfit for the day.

Chris had been given his grandfather’s wedding suit years ago and it was his all-time favourite – it would be at least 60 yrs old. His grandfather wore this very suit at his own wedding in 1950. It is a vintage Pierre Cardin suit in houndstooth grey, it’s a classic style that fit Jonesy like a glove. For the wedding, we had the pants tailored to a slim Swedish style fit.
