How did they pop the question?

Dave surprised me on a small bush walk at Fingal Light House. He popped the question while sitting watching the sunset. He then walked me down to Dreamtime beach at Fingal Heads, where he had organised a beautiful picnic.

What song was your first dance to?

We don’t like being in the spot light, so dancing in front of a crowd wasn’t really our style. But our entrance song to the reception was ‘You Make My Dreams’ by Daryl Hall.

Your biggest tip to any couple getting married?

1) Don’t forget to add 10% to 20% to your budget (like building a house).

2) Hire a wedding planner! It will be worth every cent!

Describe your day in three words...

Went too fast!

Arctic Fox helped with…

Our Florals – our first florist (and cake maker closed her business and cancelled 6 weeks before our wedding) it was a stressful situation, we’re so lucky we found you!

Other awesome suppliers were…

I’m a very strong believer in supporting local business. So I was adamant on finding and using local suppliers. Every vendor we used are local to our home city on The Gold Coast. Minus our photographer who we flew up from Sydney.

Celebrant/MC : Toni Paget – I cannot recommend her enough!

Photographer: Alex Marks – We set our wedding date around his schedule we wanted him THAT badly! He is incredibly talented and a friend.

Hair: Petula Jade – Great communication, straight to the point and incredibly talented.

Make up: Jenna Bellhouse – So skilled and so patient.

Food: Culinary Catering – Chef Paul was awesome. 20 years experience and really helped guide us.

Furniture/decor: Hampton Hire

Dress: Pearl Bridal

Veil: Madame Tulle

Chanele & James

I burst into tears, crying before saying yes! It was all so unexpected after the day, but it was perfect!

Sarah & Trevor

We didn’t actually do a first dance, both us never dance with each other so we found it odd to do it on our wedding day. Why continue with tradition if it’s not our thing?

A couple stands at the altar inside a church, elegantly adorned with decor from a Gold Coast wedding hire, surrounded by the wedding party and guests seated on wooden pews. A large window is visible in the background.

Carissa & Nick

Nick had held off from asking the question for 10 years, and I was starting to think it wouldn’t happen. For our 10 year anniversary Nick organised a beautiful surprise weekend away at the Shangri-la in Sydney and booked their penthouse suite, with dinner at their restaurant.
