Real Wedding; Heidi and Clayton Pt 2

Yum yum yum yum yum yum yummmm! More from Heidi & Clayton's big day!

I love details!!

What was your favorite design detail of the day? I loved the way the tables looked with the striped tablecloths and teacups - the whole reception looked just how we wanted it - amazing

Where were you married/ where was reception held? The whole day was at Cassels in the Waitakeres, Auckland.

Was there a vendor who did an exceptional job that you would recommend to other brides? eg. caterer, florist, photographer etc? Definitely our photographer Jo who did an amazing job and was so relaxed and easy going on the day. Our flowers were amazing as well which were done by Cartier in Newmarket and the staff at Cassels were also amazing.

Do you have an insiders tip to give to brides to be? Have rescue remedy on hand for the trip to the ceremony (hehe) it definitely helped my nerves. But just have fun - it is such a great day we had an amazing time.

Still more to come! You lucky, lucky readers!!!

{Should I be worried that Brides keep talking about Rescue Remedy, and all the stress involved with Weddings?! *bites nails*}

Real Wedding; Heidi and Clayton Pt 1

Welcome to our first real wedding!!

This beautiful day was Photographed by the ever so talented Jo Wickham, who has kindly shared her work with us here at the Ivory Dahlia.Thank you also to the ever so gorgeous Heidi and Clayton for agreeing to have their Wedding showcased on our blog!

Here are a few details about the bride and groom and their wonderful day...

Where did you meet your Husband? We first met at intermediate but we didn't start dating till we were 16.

What was the inspiration for your day and did you have a theme? Well I really like the idea of miss-match and vintage (would take it as far as obsessed) so I tried to show this in our wedding as best I could.

Who planned your wedding? I did!

We love your dress! Who designed it? I pieced together parts of dresses I liked and gave them to an amazing dressmaker Sarah Vincent in Whangarei, who made it and put in her extra expertise and added special features where needed.

Tune in soon for more pics from this fabulous Wedding!
