History:  We had been going out for 2 ½ years by the time we got married and loved every bit of it!

 

Proposal: Rob proposed on my 21st birthday.  We were on a hot air balloon ride over Black Mountain Tower, Canberra.  I said “Yes!” an we celebrated with champagne on landing and finished with breakfast at Rydges Capital Hill.

 

Wedding theme: Classic

 

Preparation: 10 months

 

 

Angelic Inspirations were fantastic with all our dresses, always making sure it was exactly what we wanted and helping in everyway they could.

 

Amelia’s Cakes did a great job! It was the best tasting cake, an we could have whatever design we wanted for half the price of anywhere else!

 

Hellenic Club were superb. They catered to everything we asked for- a great ‘can do’ attitude and they had everything done to perfection.

 

Couldn’t be happier with the hair from both locations! Brides hair at Cut Company was very professional and done in about 45mins which made the morning getting ready a breeze! Smitten Hair were most accommodating of 4 bridesmaids and they all looked stunning and the curls lasted all day.

 

Cars from Hertz were very cheap and easy. We just hired 3 white Statesmans and organized our own drivers. It was a great way to save money.

 

Sebastian from White Phoenix Photography was great to work with and produced some amazing photos!
