History: We met when Matt came to visit a girl I was working with at the time.

 

Proposal: Pre-Christmas drinks at my parent’s house, he did quietly just the two of us in another room after telling me I could see one of my Christmas presents early. We then got to spend the rest of the evening celebrating with our family and friends.

 

Wedding theme: Royal blue and Silver

 

 

Cate and Sam from Sage Photography were amazing during the afternoon/evening, the photos they supplied were better than expected and their service was fantastic.

 

Tristan our make-up artist (MPowerdome, Chisholm) was so accommodating and insisted on booking the whole day out for us (even though we only needed a couple of hours) so that I wasn’t rushed.

 

The girls at Chisholm Hair Works were wonderful and happily did touchups for all of us when we had to stop back in due to a couple of my flower girls curls dropping.

 

Jan from Flowers from Chisholm was lovely and had no issues with me coming in multiple times to see different roses and was great in helping me pick what will work/last on my special day
