Newlyweds Emma and James say they had the wedding of their dreams and Video Story Geelong was fortunate enough to capture their special day on video.
Their
day
Some weddings have not only the
attention to detail, thoughtfulness and warm approach to make it a memorable
occasion – they’ve also got something else about them too… that ‘something’
about it which just makes it extra special.
The wedding of Emma and James, held
earlier this year, was exactly that kind of wedding!
From the pretty lace details on the
bridesmaids’ dresses to the pretty feather quill used at the ceremony signing, no
detail was missed.
The happy newlyweds describe their
Geelong wedding as the best day of their lives, as Emma tells.
"Getting ready in the morning with
the girls was wonderful and so much fun, and then the rest of the day was a
tremendous dream as it all unfolded."
"Thorough planning for every aspect
made the day perfect as I didn't have to lift a finger.... except my ring
finger!!"
Surrounded by family and friends, their
sunny day of celebration had elements of a unique theme hand chosen by the bride a combination of a "pretty/romantic/dreamy" look meets "a touch of rustic vintage twerk".
And this was seen nowhere better than on
the bride herself, who looked radiant in a strapless, ruched gown of pale pink
silk with tulle and beading detail from Bridal House Geelong…rendering her groom awestruck as he watched his bride enter the church.
Walking down the aisle on her father’s
arm, the glowing bride was complemented by her bridesmaids who wore handmade, lacy
dresses by Amanda Rose Bridal. These were in ice-creamy hues like pale pink,
cream and white; feminine but with a definite touch of boho glamour.
The bouquets, created by Smellies, included
colourful, standout smatterings of David Austin roses, fresh eucalyptus,
dahlias in different hues of pinks and soft greenery.
The groom wore a white tie and matching
in with his bride, a corsage featuring dahlia while his groomsmen complemented
the bridesmaids’ outfits by their pale pink ties.
The
Ceremony
The ceremony was held at Ocean Grove
Uniting Church and officiated by Pastor John Winkler from Waterfront Church
Geelong.
Little glass jars of baby’s breath hung
over the pews of the church and, on this summer's day, warm light streamed in
from the windows during the ceremony.
A friend of the couple played keyboard
and sang a touching rendition of 'Can’t Help Falling In Love' at the ceremony.
Naturally, such a dreamy day called for
a memorable way to travel, and so, the bride, her bridesmaids and the father of
the bride arrived in style: by limousine.
The
Reception
Reflecting the couple's chosen theme, the
reception – held at Capri Receptions – included layers of white tablecloths and
dozens of vases of flowers thoughtfully dotted around the space.
Even the place setting reflected the
theme and attention to detail – with small, take home bronze skeleton keys and
soft feathers on the place cards.
Guests took home bonbonniere gifts of
wooden coasters engraved with the couple’s name and wedding date.
The cake was a four-tier, cream creation surrounded by fresh flowers. Foliage and ornamental white doves made
for a stunning vignette.
Guests enjoyed canapés and champagne in
the foyer before making their way to their tables.
The bride danced with her father to ‘Everyday’
by Buddy Holly while the couple’s first dance
was a slow one to ‘Back At One’ by Brian McKnight.
"Chill out together, reflect on today
and start that life together that you’ve been dreaming of" were apt words of
advice to the couple, from the maid of honour in her speech.
After the reception, the bride and
groom generously gave away all the reception flowers to guests. Even after a
long night of dancing, many sprung into action to claim these sweet smelling mementos...
Their
Video
Bride Emma says she worked very hard to
ensure everything was in place so that everyone could relax and enjoy the day
ahead.
And now, she’s thrilled that she and
her husband are able to enjoy it time and time again on video.
It was the best day of our lives – and
we were thrilled with Killian’s work!”
“We were hoping for a cute video… we did not expect it to be SO incredible! He really knocked it out of the park and shocked us with his fantastic, creative job of putting it all together.”
Having approached Video Story Geelong
with a custom request for a short wedding video (less than 10 minutes), it was clear that Emma and
James had something specific in mind...
While many couples opt for longer
footage, the couple asked for footage of highlights throughout the day, which
would be set against the backdrop of two songs they requested.
