121. Wild Canvas Wedding with Bride Michele Davidson, Founder of The Perfect Match
The Kiwi Wedding PodcastShow Notes
This week, I’m joined by Michele, who planned a relaxed, intimate celebration for her special day. Michele and her husband chose Wild Canvas in Waitomo for a small glamping-style wedding with just their mums and two close couples.
We chat about: 💜 A surprise proposal hidden inside a birthday card at Falls Retreat 💜 Choosing their date 02.04.24 and what it symbolised 💜 Planning a micro-wedding at Wild Canvas and keeping the guest list and the budget, tiny 💜 How an all-in package made everything low-stress and simple 💜 Walking down the aisle five minutes after getting dressed, and forgetting her bouquet 💜 Finding the one at Madison Rose Bridal on her first appointment 💜 Sharing their pregnancy news with their mums on the wedding day 💜 The vintage plane flyover that felt like fate 💜 Heading straight into a European honeymoon 💜 Why there were no post-wedding blues, just post-holiday ones 💜 Her business, The Perfect Match, and sourcing affordable, sustainable wedding accessories
...and so much more!
