How did you and your husband meet?
So 2020, on a dating app. Adam asked me to meet him down at Tamarama Beach on a Saturday afternoon.
How did he propose?
In my room after our Sunday morning ritual. Gym, swim and breakfast.
What was your vision for your wedding day?
Marrying Adam in a killer dress!
Where did you look for your wedding inspiration?
My Mum Fiona was chief wedding officer, leaving no stone un turned. We also took inspiration from the five incredible weddings we attended the year of our engagement.
What drew you to your gown from Helen Rodrigues Bridal?
It was the first dress that caught my eye when walking into the store. It’s regal and traditional character.
What was your wedding planning journey like for you? How far out did you start planning?
Planning started the day of the engagement (thanks mum). An exciting 10 month process.
What was the biggest decision you had to make?
The cake. We love our dessert, it had to taste amazing.
What was the highlight of your wedding day for you?
Everyone knows how much Adam and I love to dance. Shout out to our DJ and Sammy on Percussion.
Is there anything you would do differently?
Couldn’t fault one element, absolutely perfect.
Is there any advice you would give other #HRBride’s?
We loved cutting the cake straight after the ceremony. And make sure you get a slice on the night.
My experience with Helen and her amazing team was perfect. From start to finish I felt special, beautiful and the warm atmosphere made the lead up to the day seriously exciting. Communication was fantastic, I was always welcomed with a smile and the dress fit me like a glove.
