2017 wedding trends at Gabbinbar Homestead

GABBINBAR Homestead is known for hosting incredibly beautiful weddings.

As the year draws to a close Gabbinbar has put together a list of show-stopping wedding trends for 2017.

1. Decor trends going green Green was the colour of the year with many tables lined with rich green foliage.

The venue’s new ceremony location, The Woods, was revealed this year and was right on point with this trend.
