DECOR INSPIRATION
The groom, Matthew, was more keen on a modern décor. In
order to marry the two, Tracey took control of the ballroom
aesthetics, while Matthew had a large voice in the ceremony
room. The ceremony room had a light, airy, romantic feel with
an abundance of candles leading towards a square mirrored
boxed-framed chuppah with a mélange of clear glass cylinders
filled with white pillar candles on the crown.
HONEYMOON
Tracey and Matthew honeymooned in Australia and New
Zealand for a mix of relaxation and adventure! This locale is
“Highly recommend!”, states Tracey.
THEIR ADVICE
Be as organized and honest as possible. Make sure everyone is
aware of what needs to be done, the timeline and deadlines,
each person’s responsibilities and the overall budget. Having
no surprises and everyone on the same page is key.
MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT
The more memorable moment for us both was the reveal.
After taking the morning to get ready and spend quality time
with our bridesmaids/groomsmen and parents, the most
exciting moment was upon us… when he would see me (as his
bride) for the first time. Matthew had no idea what the dress
looked like and even though I was in love with it I was hoping
he would be too. When he turned around and saw me on top
of the staircase he couldn’t keep his composure. He was
hunched over in emotion and sobbing. I knew I had picked
the right dress. In that moment everything became surreal,
all the stress from planning dissipated and it was just pure
emotions of happiness, excitement, and love. d
