History: We met at a friends BBQ on the day of Canberra Sky Fire.  That night we went to a club and had our first dance to the Kylie Minogue song “It was Love at First Sight”.

 

Proposal:  At an Italian restaurant at the Casino in the Gold Coast, Michael organised a guitarist and violinist to serenade me at the table and then along came a big bunch of red roses, a plate that had Tia & Michael done in chocolate icing and a big heart which contained the engagement ring box. He also organised a professional photographer to take photos and in front of the whole restaurant got down on his knees and proposed.

 

Wedding theme:  Vintage with Pink Roses &  Dark Purple colours.

 

 

My cake from Cakes of your Dreams was amazing. Susan is such a creative lady, I drew up my cake design and she made it exactly. I adored my cake and it was so delicious. All the guests commented on how beautiful it was and delicious. Highly recommend Susan from Cakes of your Dreams.

 

Mania Shoes- I got my shoes, my bridesmaids shoes and my jewellery from Mania. They were fabulous to deal with. I searched everywhere in Sydney and I should have gone there first.

 

Art Atelier- Andrew is an amazing photographer, he is so easy to get a long with and makes you feel really comfortable. We loved our photos. Highly recommend Art Atelier.

 

Botanics on Jardine did an amazing job with my flowers. My breath was taken away when they delivered. Great service, lovely ladies and amazing flowers.
