Lush textures, desert florals, and endless romance is the name of the game at this unforgettable Australia bohemian wedding! When planning their special day, Karla and Matt prioritized relaxation over typical wedding formalities, so they chose Maleny Retreat for its gorgeous, sprawling grounds and easygoing vibes.
