The sound of rushing cascades invigorates the air and creates a soft mist that is cooling on even the warmest of days.
If a wedding by the water sounds like a fresh way to get hitched, the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges has a range of options you can consider. Waterfalls are found in lush forest settings and create dramatic backdrops for a ceremony or photos. Many have decking or picnic areas at the rock pools and some may require a ‘walk’ in along a forest pathway – what a walk up the aisle that makes!
