When actor Emily Eskell married Joel Lumsden in the NSW Southern Highlands, it was so much more than a beautiful day at a country retreat.
Set in Australian regional heartland, Wombat Hollow, which sounds like a dream destination, turns out to be just that. Gum trees, walking tracks and hide-away coves are the prelude to the wide night skies and the oh, so breathe-deeply, fresh air. A short drive from Bowral, the perfect blend of nature and history was matched with modern Australian cuisine from Grand Bistro.
The venue is truly amazing! A place where luxury meets bush surrounds and is punctuated with collectables of Art through time. This is mostly celebrated with the reinvention of artefacts to produce bespoke lamps skillfully crafted by artist Michael Yabsley.

Leading lady, Emily Eskill wore a custom-made bridal gown by Australian designer Tanya Anic while Husband Joel Lumsden wore a traditional Scottish kilt. Both fitting for the grand Highland party.
Emily’s Bridal Gown by Tanya Anic, was both dream-like and surprising, featuring a fine, flowing chiffon skirt with long sleeve and lined, soft-tulle overlay of hand-applique diamante bows. To complete the look and a nod to the landscape and possibly tradition, Emily stepped into her blue suede boots.
