A gravel path and a petal carpet — flats, and a wrap for the shade.

We're getting married
Hana & Oliver
2 October 2027Cowra, NSW
Petals on the path, lanterns in the trees, and a quiet kind of joy.
Our story
How we got here
We met under the cherry trees at hanami with the same picnic blanket — two people, one pattern, a long argument about who copied whom. We are marrying under the same trees when they bloom again.
- 2021How we met
Hanami in the Japanese garden. Same blanket, same spot, and somebody had to move. Neither did.
- 2026The question
First blossom of the season, six in the morning, before the garden opened. The gardener let us in.
- 2027The day
Ceremony under the trees at 3pm, tea in the pavilion, dinner in the glasshouse after dark.
The celebration
The day
Matcha, sake, and mochi from Hana's aunt. Sit anywhere; wander everywhere.
Lanterns on at dusk. Shared plates, a short speech each, and dancing between the trees.
Times and venues become proper schedule fields in your builder.

Travel & stays
Where to stay
Eight rooms held under 'H&O' — quiet, and a two-minute walk to the pavilion.
Plenty of rooms; the town is small and everything is close.
Registry & dress code
The practical bits
Your presence is the present. For anyone who has asked, our wishing well and registry are here.
Wishing well The Kyoto spring fund
Dress code: Spring formal — soft colours, blush and charcoal, nothing that minds a petal or two.
- Will the blossom be out?
- Cowra's blossom peaks in the last week of September and the first of October. We picked the date for it; the trees have been told.
- What about photos?
- Our photographer has the ceremony covered — phones away until we're married, then snap everything.
