Natalie + Chris

How did you meet?

Met through a friend from work. She set us up and she was also one of my bridesmaids!

When did you know they were the one?

It was a bit of a slow burn to begin with, but after a few months, Chris was “all in”, and we were inseparable since. I would say from that moment I knew he was the one.

What are your three favourite attributes of your partner?

His ambition and drive with work, his caring nature and always reaching out to check on others, and his ability to always make me laugh and focus on the positive things in life.

Who proposed and how?

Chris proposed. We did a stay and dine package at Meletos at Stones of the Yarra Valley. He dropped on a knee as soon as we got into our hotel room. We ended up getting married at Stones so it was amazing to go full circle 🙂

Where did you fall in love with your dress and why?

At Made with Love boutique in Melbourne. My friend from Ireland told me about the brand and all the dresses were very much my style. I fell in love with the Louie dress online and made an appointment to try it on. I was so happy when I tried it on and was just as obsessed as when I saw it in photos! It was a dream.

What was the best moment for you at your wedding? 

Definitely the ceremony. I don’t think I’ve ever smiled and laughed so much!

What were your favourite details? 

The light hearted funny ceremony, I loved getting ready with my girls, and I loved listening to all the speeches then hitting the dance floor.

What advice would you tell other brides?

Trust your suppliers and relax on the day. Once you relax you will be able to enjoy everything!
