LILLY WEARS OUR GARDENIA HEELS

Photography by Rachael Emmily

How was your experience as a Forever Soles bride?

Overall everything was fabulous, I could not have asked for a better experience.

Which shoes did you wear for your wedding? What was your favourite thing about your shoes?

The Gardenia Closed Toe Bridal Heels. The Satin! They just felt so elegant.

How did you and your husband meet?

We met through our local football and netball club as little 18 year olds.

How long have you been together and how did he propose?

We have been together 8 years.

The proposal was beautiful and very us. It was a nice sunny day in July (which is rare for where we live), so we made the most of it by taking our dog for a walk and having a picnic by the lake. It was here that he proposed.

What is the most amazing thing about your man?

His value for partnership and how much he has taught me about this. We are truly best friends who want to experience everything together

How would you describe your wedding in one word?

Magical

What is your favourite memory from your wedding?

Sneaking off with our photographer for sunset photos, it was nice to just have a bit of an ‘us’ break.

Where was your wedding located? What made you choose this location?

We got married at Buller Wines in Rutherglen. We wanted to have our wedding in our local area as all our family are from here, so we went and had a look at a few places. We chose Buller Wines because it felt like exactly what we were after, with a large grass area so that most of the day could be outside, vineyard views, and they recently had built and opened these gorgeous huts on their property meaning Coop and I, and our bridal party could stay.

Who created your gorgeous gown?

Riva Bridal in Melbourne. Kim was phenomenal, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

You're a wife now! How does it feel to finally tie the knot?

It’s fabulous! Day to day life is pretty similar to pre wedding. But being able to reminisce on the day, look through photos and make new memories together as husband and wife is pretty special.

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We went to Tasmania for 10 days. We love wine and hiking so we thought it would be the perfect place. It was truely beautiful!

Any advice for our brides-to-be?

My best piece of advice is to make decisions based off what feels right and aligns with you as a couple. We did that, and the whole day felt so comfortable, fun and very us.
