Pinterest was my best friend when it came to planning our wedding. Both Ryan and myself are water babies. We love the beach. Give us surf and sand any day of the week! With this in mind we knew we wanted to incorporate the sand and sea in our wedding.
I imagined being barefoot in the warm sand with the ocean behind us setting the scene for our big day. We struggled to find a suitable location within NZ that ticked all our boxes which also had a wet weather option considering New Zealand is known for having 4 seasons in one day. We began looking offshore and decided that a tropical island on Fiji answered all of our hopes and dreams!
For my dress I imagined soft, flowly chiffon which would trail behind me along the sand with a structured simple, yet detailed bodice.
I wanted a relaxed hairstyle to suit our relaxed theme for our big day. I wanted loose wavy curls, pulled back to the side. I wasn’t planning on wearing a veil so a beautiful headband was on my list of things to find.
We had a clear picture of what we wanted our ceremony to look like. We imagined blue skies, white sand and crystal clear waters being the backdrop to our ceremony. A simple wedding arch with white fabric would mark the spot where Ryan and I would say our I dos.
For the Reception I imagined lots of lights, lanterns, white and gold accents. We wanted a relaxed atmosphere where everyone would have an amazing night filled with lots of love, laughter and dancing under the stars.
