My Best Friend's Wedding ;-)

Last weekend I was honoured to stand by the side of one of my best friends as her Matron of Honour on her Wedding Day. I have known her since she was 9 years old and whilst the age gap seemed huge back then (I am 8 years older than her) as the years have passed our age gap isn’t as noticeable and I am blessed to have her in my life as one of my best friends and almost like a little sister to me.

As they live interstate it was a whirlwind few days as the soon-to-be married couple only flew in 2 days before the wedding day! Thankfully most things were organised besides a hiccup with a birth certificate and a relaxing and fun few days were had.

The day before the wedding we went to lunch at a gorgeous little cafe in Holgate called Bamboo Buddah – I love the relaxing atmosphere  and of course their amazing Vegetarian food.

The day was glorious and for winter we could not have asked for better weather….the sun was shining….it was truly perfect. 

We had a girly morning just the bride, mother of the bride and myself getting ready, listening to music, watching a movie (well it played in the background) and lots of yummy healthy food ….

To make us all gorgeous we knew we were in the safe hands of hair stylist and makeup artist Sarah from Couture Artistry. She did our hair and makeup exactly as we wanted them…..we could not have been happier!

It was a small wedding party with me being the only female, the best man was the grooms brother and my darling 2 1/2 year old twins were flower girl and ring bearer…..I was so unbelievably impressed with them and thrilled that they made it down the aisle without crying or causing a drama (anyone with a 2 year old should be nodding and knowing exactly what I am talking about!) and lets not forget to mention just how CUTE they looked!

My sister snapped away with heaps of photos for me (YAY!) I am obsessed with photos (would love to see you over at Instagram collette_cutoutthecrap) and I took a few on my phone also…I hope you enjoy seeing them!

I CAN NOT wait to see the professional photos….Tim from Tim Jones Wedding Photography was such a lovely and genuine man whose passion for his job showed the minute he walked in to the apartment. He had never met any of us before but oozed confidence with what he had to do whilst keeping the bride happy! I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of a few photos on the camera and as I say I CAN NOT wait to see more!

Wishing the newly weds ‘Mr and Mrs T’ a lifetime of love and happiness!
