I wore a dress by Justin Alexander from Bridal Wish boutique, which my mum picked. Before stepping into my dress, I was worried that I wasn’t going to love it as much as I did when I first tried it on. However, I needn’t have worried, as once I saw myself I was so happy – I felt like the very best version of myself. The bridesmaid wore blush pink custom-made dresses from Rene K Couture Clothing. I wanted my bridesmaids to feel comfortable on the day, so I let them pick their dresses. Ben wore a classic Hugo Boss suit with a black bowtie. Ben and I love music and wanted it to be a big part of our day. During our ceremony, we had acoustic music by Hattie Murdoch and then to get everyone up dancing, we had The Maverick Rejects play our evening reception. We felt relaxed, surrounded by all those that we love so much. The sun was shining, the drink was flowing, and we couldn’t have asked for a perfect day. A part that stood out to me was walking down the aisle to one of Ben’s favourite songs, Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones, which was sang so beautifully by Hattie. Ben says a part of the day that stood out was seeing me walk down the aisle, as well as the speeches from the wedding party.
