Our love story
"We have known each other for a long time, but one date at a coffee shop changed it all pretty quick. He popped the question on our 3 year anniversary with roses and a perfect dinner."
Wedding theme
"We wanted to keep it simple, soft and romantic. My favourite flower is the cherry blossoms in Japan, a little difficult to get here. So in honour of my late grandmother, we took the flower idea and ran with it. Everything was based around my origami bouquets, a skill she taught us when I was a kid.

I wore an Alfred Angelo wedding dress with custom design sash from Angelic Bridal. The suits were from Ed Harry and our bridesmaids dresses from Lucy & Loo."
Special Moments
"Both Hubby and I are super thankful for the time we spent with our bridal party in the morning. The moment before it all starts just hanging with the girls and feeling their love and support. I'm so glad we didn't have to run around and set up ... we Just got to enjoy all the moments with no stress."
How and why did you choose Bribie Island as your wedding destination?
"I have always had a bit of connection with the island, my grandparents grew up there. We hunted high and low for a venue but Pacific Harbour was able to tick all the boxes, including the sentimental ones. Bribie was perfect. Not too busy, but busy enough to create a magical atmosphere."
Advice for other Bride's and Groom's
"When you're planning be realistic when it comes to planning a timeline, things happen so allow for extra time to catch your breath."
Planning
"I used Bribie Island Weddings website and Facebook page for island wedding inspiration and planning assistance. I loved that there was place to go to focus on local suppliers!"
Special thanks or supplier recommendations
"We had a great selection of vendors but the two that stood out the most were Ellen from Fabulous Funktions Ellen was a pleasure to work with and was willing to to compliment our tastes. And Candice from Once Upon a Dream Photography was a amazing at keeping us comfortable for our getting ready photos."
