Patrick and Rebecca had always known of each other and but really hit it off at a combined birthday party of friends and have been best friends ever since…
Patrick proposed to Rebecca on her birthday after having Darryn from DK Jewellery ( www.designerjewellersydney.com.au) design the engagement ring in secret.
The theme of their wedding was to be laid back and colourful and this was achieved by the floral bouquet of gerbera’s grown by Rebecca’s close friends, that were used on the cake the table display and in the chapel to great effect.
The wedding was held in Yunguburra a small town on the atherton tablelands a 1 hour drive from Cairns where there is a small wedding chapel (www.weddingchapelandmore.com) and the reception was held at Nick’s Restaurant (www.nicksrestaurant.com.au) .
Rebecca’s dress took a bit of arranging, she initially went to see Elma at Bridal Elegance ( www.bridaleleganceandextras.com.au) and tried on a lot of dresses but nothing felt right. She showed Rebecca a photograph of a dress she had ordered and Rebecca fell in love with it from that picture alone….to have it in time for the wedding Rebecca had to order it without ever having tried it on …this was a little scary for the bride but well worth it in the end as it was the perfect dress …. made by Impressions Bridal ( www.impressionsbridal.com)
The three little flower girls who are part of the bridal party are Patrick’s nieces they were so beautiful and they will keep us smiling forever.
The church was full of friends and family and Rebecca’s father walked her down the aisle to Patrick who was nervously waiting…
Rebecca’s advice for Brides ….
“Don’t stress. Your day is going to be beautiful no matter what. Take the time to enjoy planning your wedding not making it a chore. There are plenty of people willing to help you along the way so there is no need for a bridezilla to appear. And remember in the end it is your day. If you have forgotten a table decoration, stuffed your speech up or even dropped cake on your dress, laugh it off and have fun!!! “
