NICOLE & DEON

Congratulations NICOLE & DEON

“We had a simple and elegant white theme with a splash of gold and greenery.

“Our ceremony was held at St John’s Cathedral which is dramatic and beautiful. It rivalled a royal wedding with the beautiful archways at the entrance and sides. We had 110 guests.

Nicole Hope and Deon Streete have an adorable puppy to thank for bringing them together. “I would be lying if I didn’t say that I fell in love with Deon’s puppy first, an adorable 3-month old Chow Chow named Ari. How could you say no to a date with a Chow Chow puppy in New Farm Park? I was blown away when Deon arrived with a picnic of cheese, crackers, and wine in tow, as well as the puppy. It was everything my heart desired!”

“We both fell in love quickly. By six months we had moved in together and by nine months, Deon had proposed to me. We planned to marry two years later, sadly colliding with the pandemic. It took another four date attempts and two more years before we finally got to say ‘I Do’. Deon proposed to me in Santorini. He organised a private dinner with a butler on a rooftop terrace overlooking the Caldera. I arrived to a trail of lit candles, scattered rose petals, love songs playing, a beautiful white terrace and arbour with an amazing sunset, and Deon sitting waiting. I could tell he was nervous. It was very awkward small talk, until he got down on one knee. I can’t even remember the words I was in such a shock. I had just gotten off a long-haul flight where I had caught a flu and had tissues stuffed up my nose an hour before the dinner, and my lack of sleep had me in a horrible mood. Yet he still proposed. Bless him!”

“The reception was held at Emporium Hotel which is so new and modern with beautiful interior décor. It gave a very luxurious feel to the whole experience from food tasting to the accommodation and the set-up of the reception room. My dress was by a local Brisbane designer, Wendy Sullivan. The figure-hugging style flared out to a dramatic long train. I paired it with a Grace Loves Lace cathedral-length veil. We had white cherry blossom trees for half of the centrepieces and gold stands with Baby’s Breath clouds for the other half. We hired a light-up white gloss dance floor from G&M Events, a large enchanted tree from The Styled Group and light-up LOVE letters from Hitched Events. The bridal table featured a white hydrangea floral runner, fresh white and green floral bouquets and floating water candles in vases. Our wedding favours were custom gold tin candles.”
