THE VENUE When our initial venue closed , we were feeling disheartened ; however , we viewed The Spa Hotel and immediately fell in love with its natural beauty , especially its gorgeous Spa Temple .
The Spa Hotel was the perfect venue for us . Our coordinator , Emily , was a star and helped us to plan our wedding to perfection . David was our coordinator on the day and he went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly . The team made the process fun and we were able to enjoy the wedding without any stress or anxiety .
THE OUTFITS My dress was Matilda by Milla Nova which I bought from Isabella Grace Bridal . It was actually a wildcard that my stylist picked , so it goes to show that it is worth trying on different styles . As soon as I tried the dress on , I knew it was ‘ the one ’ because my mum and I both shed a tear . It was a really special moment !
I was fortunate enough to win my Helen Martin veil and Rainbow Club shoes in two separate Instagram giveaways . I really recommend entering competitions in the lead up to your wedding , as you never know – you might win ! My mum also lent me her pearl earrings for my something borrowed .
Liam went with a custom suit and he really enjoyed making this his own . He had our surname and our wedding date embroidered inside , which was a really lovely touch .
THE DECOR We chose yellow for our main colour because it is cheerful and a family favourite . Silver and grey felt like appropriate colours to match . We did not realise it at the time , but Liam ’ s grey suit matched the Spa Temple perfectly which was a happy coincidence !
THE PHOTOGRAPHY Our photographer was Helen England Photography . I have followed Helen on Instagram for years , so it was very surreal to be working with her ! Helen is a class act . Her images are beautiful and getting to work with her was a dream come true .
THE HIGHLIGHT We were blessed with glorious weather , so the highlight was being able to have an outdoor ceremony surrounded by flowers .
