Real Weddings - Eden & Kyle

How did you meet? We actually met on Facebook! We had some mutual friends online and Kyle added me after I popped up in his 'people you may know' suggestions haha!

What wedding vibe were you after? We were after a comfortable, intimate and fun-filled day. We wanted everyone (and ourselves) to feel relaxed throughout especially.

How did you choose your outfits? A LOT of Pinterest and Instagram scrolling for style inspiration! I was very fortunate to find my dress second-hand on StillWhite which I immediately fell in love with, and Kyle found an amazing suit at our local Tarocash store.

How did you decide on your venue? After downsizing our original plans of a 90-person wedding to a 22-person wedding, we were after a venue that was comfortable and intimate for our guests, but still had plenty of space for our ceremony and photo opportunities. It was also important to us that the venue was local on the Central Coast - so The Olive Grove in The Quarters, Forrester's Beach ticked all of our boxes!

Amy & Simon were married at Villa Alba in Kew. Here’s what they had to say about their big day.

How did you meet? We met at a Pub Trivia night. All the tables were full so me and my friend asked to join Simon and his friends on their team. We ended up going to Trivia every Tuesday and were a couple a few months later.

What was the first thing you decided on as a couple when arranging your big day? We chose the ceremony venue. Villa Alba in Kew.

What wedding vibe were you after? We wanted a relaxed, casual mood where our friends and family felt comfortable  to mingle.

How did you choose your outfits? We didn’t want to feel too formal so Simon chose a blue Hugo Boss suit with a colourful pocket square and white shirt, no tie. He changed into a floral shirt for the reception.

I didn’t want a traditional dress or veil and wanted to feel comfortable all day. I was recommended a

Writing Your Own Vows

Writing Your Own Vows

This is one of the most special parts of a ceremony.

You get to say to the person that you’re about to marry - what they mean to you, why you’re looking forward to marrying them, anything really. But the important thing is that you have written them, to say to that all important person, on the big day, in front of your loved ones.

It often gets pretty emotional here, so it’s worth putting in a bit of effort to choose or script vows that really pack a punch. They can be funny, serious, teasing – anything you want! Below are some tips to help you write those vows. 

Share or Surprise?

Decide whether you’d like to write your vows together or keep them secret from each other until the ceremony. Either way works really well – just think about what works for you as a couple. If you do decide to keep them as a surprise, make sure you send them to me before the ceremony so I can make sure you’re both on the same wave length.
