Well I've been married for 3 months+ now !!
The night before the big day was so much fun I had all my closest friends and family over for dinner and drinks, but all had to be asleep by 11pm ha,ha!!
Sushi & wine, my faves!
My mum and myself (looking tired!)
The morning of, I had my mum and my bridesmaids all over at 7am too get ready for hair and makeup and a champagne breakfast. It took until 1pm for us all be finished and into our dresses, the photographer captured us getting ready and I was lucky enough to be able to have two photographers. My husband Will and his groomsmen got photographed while they got ready also.
Our garden ceremony was at 3pm, my bridesmaids and I arrived at 3:15pm (fashionably late ha). I was walked down the aisle with both parents by my sides (they are divorced) as I feel they both raised me equally and couldn't just have my mum sitting in the aisle when she has always been there for me.
My mum said a verse she had written for us, and Will's father said a lovely few words for us also, both got very teary my mum especially.
Will and I wrote our own vows, which were utterly perfect! The ceremony was my absolute favorite part of the day I felt extremely calm, I was at complete ease, after so much stressing and planning standing up there sharing my life with Will and our families was really all that matters.
After the ceremony, we had champagne and canapes going around for our guests while we had some romantic photos of myself and Will in the rainforest nearby, my photographers were absolutely amazing!

The reception was held at Milano's on the Lake, our ceremony was held in the nearby gardens along the waters edge.

Which was absolutely stunning, the food was amazing, the service top standard, and the room was gorgeous. I am 100% happy with our decision choosing this venue.
My MOH Lucy did a cute, heartfelt speech which was amazing. And two of Wills brothers also had lovely speeches straight from the heart.
We had disposable wedding cameras on all the tables and a photo-booth and a DJ for entertainment and I think everyone had a ball.
My mum hired an amazing beachfront resort for two nights after the wedding which was divine!!

I am not the most organised person, so I found this all very stressful. Especially because my husband works huge hours at work so the planning was left to me, who also works full-time so I found it all very over-whelming (especially because we live 4hours away from Newcastle where we had the wedding!!) but in the end everyone had a great night :).
So how about some photos???,
My looking stressed out, getting my hair and makeup done
All the makeup which helped us look great!!
One of my beautiful maids hair
Time for dresses
The fellas scrubbed up very well, my poor Will is very awkward with a camera in his face but he did well!!
Boys beachside
Back to the ladies
My accessories
Bridesmaids heels
My beautiful girls
