This week, I’m joined by Charlotte to chat about her beautiful winter wedding in Queenstown and the story behind how it all came together.
We chat about: 💜 Meeting online after Jack returned to New Zealand from the UK just before the borders closed 💜 Their Paris proposal with the Eiffel Tower sparkling in the background 💜 Choosing Queenstown because it was a special spot and the first place they ever travelled together 💜 Planning a destination-style wedding within New Zealand and trusting their venue after only viewing it online 💜 Prioritising great food, drinks and a fun experience for their guests 💜 Charlotte’s bridal experience with the amazing Natalie Rose Bridal and customising her Eva Lendel gown 💜 Jack wearing a kilt and how it suited the winter Queenstown setting perfectly 💜 The very shocking lead-up after a car accident on the way to the airport just days before the wedding 💜 Keeping the morning relaxed with Ferg Baker platters and a chilled getting-ready vibe 💜 Wedding budget realities and focusing spending on what mattered most
…and so much more!

Planning a wedding from the other side of the world is no small feat, especially when you’re also moving countries just weeks before the big day.
What happens when you stop worrying about what a wedding is supposed to look like and create something completely your own?
