Britney + Edward | Brookleigh Estate Swan Valley Wedding
How I met my man…We met through mutual friends and fell in love. We had a two-year long-distance relationship, because he lived in New York, and I lived in Perth, Western Australia.
Then, he proposed…He flew me over to New York and took me around the city… He popped the question at the Βow Βridge, in Central Park! He also slipped on ice when he got on one knee, hee hee!
The magic lies in the details!
We had a chilled, bohemian wedding! The boys in navy, tans, crisp white and deep wine! Me and my girls in ivory, deep wine, soft creamy pinks, and lace.
My dress was definitely the detail that stood out! It was so amazing and tied in amazingly with all the handmade, macramé pieces.
The best wedding decision I ever made… and also the worst one: The best decision we made for our wedding was for it to be in a chilled and relaxed cocktail style.
Everyone loved being able to be free to talk to everyone and explore the stunning grounds of the Brookleigh estate.
I honestly couldn’t think of one bad thing, everything happened so naturally…
If I had to choose one favorite moment: The moment I’ll never forget would have to be a tossup of my dad’s heartfelt speech to me, and Edward’s dance with his mother to “Vienna” by Billy Joel.
To the rhythm of our first dance: We danced to dancing in the Moonlight by L’Aupaire. And the song that I walked down the aisle to, was a kingdom melody, called Song 132 – Now we are one.
Oh, my wedding dress: There are so many reasons why I chose my dress!!
Once Sophie showed it to me, I was instantly in love! The vintage color, the lacy details, the buttons in the front. Oh and that bussell! How unique… You could see how much hard work went into that wedding dress. It was the most stunning of all! Sophie and I just clicked. She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable, and like a bride!
It was also a privilege to FaceTime the designer, VG Zolotas, over in Greece!
I would like to thank the following people, for turning my dream into a wedding reality…
