A little bit about Miranda and her love story…
Looking back on the day we are so glad that we…
We knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together when…. "We discussed what we wanted out of life! To become parents and give endless love to our children, travel the world as a family and try enjoy the simple things that’s bring us happiness." Our approach to planning the wedding was… '"to make it as romantic and fun as possible, to try and express what our relationship feels to us!"Looking back on the day we are so glad that we… "made sure we spent the whole night together and soaking it all in. It can become so overwhelming with so much celebrating but we ensured we were living in the moment with each other."
The most unexpected part of the day was…
"The emotion! I’m quite an emotional person to start with, but in the lead up I hadn’t really experienced any heightened emotion… I think there’s something truly magical about being surrounded by your nearest and dearest, committing your love to your partner."
A word of advice to new brides would be….
"Relax, go with the flow, it really will be the most incredible day regardless of all the little things that do or don’t happen. It’s just so special. I would also say keep yours & your partners priorities at front of mind, the day is about you two and no one else. Don’t be afraid to go against tradition! If you’re a DIY bride, get everything organized early, spreadsheets are your best friend! I did a lot of prep in the lead up for the wedding, organizing all the hiring, gathering styling pieces, sourcing the paper parasols, creating the seeded menus and placecards, along with designing and creating the suits and reception dress. I had a million spreadsheets and mood boards happening to keep track of all my thoughts. Also maybe have a wet weather plan, just incase…!"
A word of advice to new brides would be… "Although it's easier said than done, try not to stress the little things. As long as you & your husband are together with your closest and dearest that’s all that matters. Nobody will know what was supposed to go to plan."
My Homebodii moment was special because…
My inspiration for my hair and make up...
"Me at my best. Helen has done my make up soo many times for almost a decade, she knows my face best and I knew from day one I wanted her to paint my face for my wedding day. I knew I wanted my hair out, which was risky given our location by the beach but we got extremely lucky with the weather (which was a bonus, considering we didn’t really have a wet weather option!) and it was perfect, I felt like my best self."
When I look back on the day now I feel….
