«Our love story started way back when we were just six years old. We met in primary school and began dating during intermediate. Life took a turn when Vincent’s family moved away, but a few years later, when we were 17, fate brought us back together. That unexpected reunion led to our very first Valentine’s Day date in 2013 and we’ve been inseparable ever since. After being together for ten years. There was the most intimate proposal and it was perfect in every single way. Vincent proposed to me on a monday evening at our summer dinner date spot at Little Old Bucklands Beach in East Auckland. I was very much caught off guard being a monday night; I had messaged him like I do every sunny summer day, suggesting we have dinner at the beach because it was a beautiful evening, to which he replied with, “I’m going to the gym” little did I know he was with my dad discussing the perfect proposal. I got home after work and he told me we were, in fact, going to the beach for dinner and to get changed so we could go before the sun went down. At this point, I was blissfully unaware of what he was planning. We had finished dinner and I told him to grab his fishing rod so he could have a flick before going home. Instead, he pulled a ring from the car and got down on one knee, leaving me absolutely speechless. It was perfect in every single way.»
«My mood board was very simple yet classic and romantic. I just love candles and white flowers roses being the first bunch of flower Vincent ever gave me so wanted to make sure they were incorporated throughout the day. We wanted something timeless, elegant and modern. However, I forgot all my bows back in New Zealand, so my beautiful silk bows were missing. I found a wedding planner in Santorini Stefania from EverAfter days she aligned with my vision and she was the most amazing planner. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. If you know me you know I love neutral colours that create a soft and fresh look. For the ceremony a back drop if a Santorini cliff side was the brief so Venetsanos winery was perfect, naturally flowers were needed but the view spoke for itself and was the wow factor of the ceremony. The table setting at the reception was everything I had dreamed off the candles the flowers , the sunset was to die for! The food was also amazing! It truely was the intimate wedding of our dreams.»
«My favorite moment from our wedding is to saying I do to my husband in front of our closest family members was pretty special. The moment all thirteen of us danced together was so special too, we got to spend quality time with all of our guests because it was such a small wedding! Every single moment felt magical because most of us had traveled from Australia and New Zealand while my sister and her boyfriend came from the uk who we hadn’t seen in two years! It felt so surreal to all be together in the most beautiful destination in the world!»
«Once we decided to go over sears I knew I didn’t want to be lugging a large wedding dress around Europe. I actually chose my shoes before my dress, I planned my entire outfit around the shoes. My heart was set on Christian Dior sling back pumps so I based my dress around those. I spent hours looking for the perfect dress went and tried on so many but I just didn’t feel like my self. I then came across a small brand in London called Rosie Etienne, that only launch very few dresses every few months so as soon as the Isabelle launched I grabbed her and hoped for the best , she was perfect more beautiful than I could have imagined with every bead lovingly hand stitched on over three months the most beautiful details I could have imagined. I was so lucky to be able to secure a Rosie Etienne dress.»
