Iris Park Garden Weddings is a garden ceremony venue on ten acres at Hastings, on the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula. A tree-lined driveway runs in through parkland to formal beds, lawns, mature exotic trees and native bush. Ceremony spots include the Ancient Stump Garden under a bower of pink and yellow roses, a crab apple arch with a weeping silver pear, and a stringybark about a century old. The garden opens for weddings from October to the end of April.
Veri photographed Sol and Stephen’s wedding here, with the ceremony, portraits and reception all held in the garden. Spring is when the place is at its fullest: the irises the garden is named for flower from spring into early summer, along with roses, camellias, fuchsias and clivias, so a ceremony in October or November has colour in every direction. The bushland edge gives a quieter, greener backdrop for the couple.
