Nathan and I were best buddies since early high school….Who would have guessed we would end up married! All those years as kids, enjoying water sports, motorbikes and the outdoors together blossomed into a beautiful romance and led to his proposal, my acceptance, and a joy-filled wedding in a historic church followed by a beachside reception. The wedding day was absolutely magical. Family and friends came from around the globe to celebrate our special day.

Nathan and I love the water so we definitely had to have that as part of our wedding! Our reception was right on the beach at Blacksmiths Surf Lifesaving Club. We had beautiful oceanfront views behind the head table.

My wedding dress was designed by me and created by Tracie McCook. Tracy created the natural, Egyptian goddess style I wanted. She makes every dress her artwork masterpiece. My beautifully flowing bridal gown with hand sewn Swarovski crystals was unique and stunning. She used the silk I bought on my trip to Vietnam in 2009 to make my 5 amazing bridesmaids dresses, and we completed the look with gold jewellery and glamorous gold Egyptian sandals, in keeping with our beachy theme.

be on trend in 2011

Gone are the simplistic styles of the past – in 2011 we move to an even more floaty and feminine silhouette (whether it be A-line or empire-line) adorned with ruffles!! Within the coming season whether you choose a dress that is short or long, the focus is definitely on the added details such as beautiful embellishments of ruffles, beading, pleats, and lace and tulle overlays, all of which are abundant within the new bridal fashion for the spring/summer season. So use the images below as inspiration and float down the aisle within a sea of ivory organza!
