Real Brides #kezanilove

How lucky was this?! Renee and Mason were destined for Bali after winning a door prize with a Perth Bridal Expo. The prize, a styled wedding and honeymoon package from Botanica Weddings and the Royal Pita Maha Resort in Bali.

The landscape at this Ubud venue was truly magical, I just had to share with you just a few of their gorgeous pics. Our Candiece headpiece sat real pretty in Renee's gorgeous side upstyle. We chose this piece to complement the waist detailing on her divine wedding gown from Raffinato Bridal in Perth.

The beautiful blush bridesmaid gowns were from Dion for Brides.

 Finishing with my fave shot here but you can more of this wedding in detail at the Botanica Weddings blog here.

Ciao for now xx

I adore this shot and I love, love Allison's shoes from Marie Claire in Claremont.

This gorgeous wedding of Allison and Brent was just filled with unique design touches. Allison, works in the fashion industry and had designed many elements herself, including her headpiece!

Allison came into the Kezani store with a picture and sketch of what she wanted. A unique, cage veil finished with a brooch piece on either side. To create this shape, I wired a frame to attach the netting. The net was then embellished with small Swarovski crystals and wa-lah a masterpiece was born! I so excited to see Allison's photos to see how it all came together.

Our stunning bride, this pic shows off the headpiece beautifully.

Allison's gown was designed by herself and made by her Aunty. Bodice is detailed with raw chiffon, wispy flowers and delicate beading, full open back and beaded straps.

Hair and make up was by Joanne Banks at HairArt Studio - The Vines. The hairstyle was quite intricate with loops and braids.

Allison's bouquets were by Brooch Beautiful in the USA.

You can find some amazing touches for weddings if you search high and low! These divine lapel pins were from Etsy, Didi art corner. I love how the colours are intricately entwined and I think they are a fantastic alternative to fresh flowers.

The bridesmaids wore a teal gown with a stunning tulle cape shoulder line detailed with crystal embellishment. The pop of coral contrast in the flowers worked a treat!

We asked Allison what her favourite part of the day was?

"My favourite part of the day was walking down the aisle and seeing Brent for the first time and him seeing me. Brent met me at the top of the red (cream) carpet and we walked down to the celebrant together"

 The happy couple

Finally, we asked Allison what her one piece of advice would be to help new brides-to-be? "My advice would be, to enjoy every moment, from planning to the end of your day. You blink and it's gone, and you can never get it back. Only memories and re-looking at photos, I wish I could do it all over again!"

I was so delighted to help to Nathalia find her dream accessories for her wedding in Bali to her man, Paul. Nathalia made an appointment to see us with her wedding gown and then the fun began!

Nathalia was just beautiful, her bright and happy personality just filled the room and her gown was absolutely stunning. Exquisite detailing with shoulder and back drapes made with crystal and silver bugles. This divine gown was a creation from Jack Sullivan Bridal and is available from the gorgeous store in Perth, Bridal by Aubrey Rose located on Oxford Street, West Leederville.

 With Nathalia's wedding being in Bali, we thought we have to ask her about her suppliers so we can help any future brides, looking to plan a destination wedding over there. Nathalia's hair and makeup was done by Eka RadityaPoetra from SHOPisticated Bali. Her custom made brooch wedding bouquet was by Sharon from Cherished Bridal Designs.

  Love these pics capturing the happy couple.

To make things easier, Nathalia had a wedding planner, Christina from Vara weddings. As quoted from Nathalia, " went above and beyond and made all my requests a reality. Our dream wedding would not have come true without her and all our 11pm emails!".

The divine wedding cake was from Ixora Cakes in Bali.

 Dancing under lanterns and stars, what more can you ask for??!! A gorgeous reception at Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali resort - this is an absolutely stunning venue.

Coming to an end, I am going to finish with one of my fave photos. I just love the setting, the backdrop of green grass, the water and the sky, it just looks fantastic. You can see Tanah Lot in the distance, I think this definitely looks like 'Bali heaven'.

I asked Nathalia, what was her fave moment of the day and it was in this same scene..."Seeing my husband Paul overcome with tears of Joy as I came walking down the aisle. It was such an emotional and happy moment."

 Lastly, we have a piece of advice from Nathalia to help any future 'brides-to-be'.

"Try not to stress, even when it seems impossible. Enjoy the entire planning period, because when it's all over, you'll miss it and want to do it all over again! Remember why you are getting married, and try to truly make it be an event about the both of you. Have faith in your vendors and photographer, and trust that they will do their job well, embrace the minor hiccups that may happen on the day! And once it's all happening, just go with it, the day literally flies by in the blink of an eye."

With Love and Fun,

Anita xx

 Natalie chose a divine gown in champagne/vintage gold from Samantha Wynne in Mount Hawthorn, WA. The gown was designed and created by Wendy Makin bridal designs. A beautiful lace sheath with exquisite, soft ruffled hemline.
