Cottesloe Civic Centre wedding
A wedding at Cottesloe Civic Centre — vows on the limestone staircase, champagne on the tree-lined drive, and the last of the golden light on the lawn.
Josie & Alex’s day started slowly, with the bride laughing in soft light while her hair was finished, and the rings resting in pale orchid petals.
The ceremony was on the lawn at the foot of Cottesloe Civic Centre’s grand limestone staircase. Her veil lifted in the breeze while they held hands, they exchanged rings on the steps, and had their first kiss on the stone.
That staircase gives you height and symmetry, which most flat Perth venues can’t. Two people at the top, framed by the balustrade, read as scale; walking down it hand in hand with the Norfolk pines behind them reads as a moment. Then the bridal party sprayed champagne along the tree-lined drive.
Because the grounds run west toward the water, the light arrives late and stays long. We finished in the greenery and on the lawn in the last of the golden light.
