&oldluke hollywood romance

old HOLLYWOOD Sarah and Luke’s wedding was a classic and elegant affair that began in a traditional chapel and ended on the riverbank of the beautiful Swan River in Perth. The high school sweethearts became engaged after Luke proposed during a picnic in Kings Park, which led the couple to choose the Old Brewery as their reception venue due to its proximity to Kings Park where they would have their photos taken.

The couple exuded old Hollywood glamour on their big day with Sarah’s statement dress, red lips and her dark hair in soft waves. Luke and his groomsmen each rocked a bow tie and tux from Calibre, the classic old Hollywood leading men.

STYLE

Sarah had a glamorous but traditional style for the day. She exuded old Hollywood glamour with an incredible one shoulder mermaid style Aurelio Costarella ‘Venus’ gown complete with red lips and her dark hair in soft waves. She chose classic SAMANTHA WILLS Come Away With Me earrings to finish off her Hollywood glam look.

Peonies being her favourite flower, she had a stunning white bouquet of them which set off her look and even joked about having chosen November for the date of her event, as she knows this is the best time of year for the blooms.

Her three bridesmaids wore charcoal strapless dresses with ruching on the bodices, paired with rose gold SAMANTHA WILLS Quiet Moments earrings.

INSPIRED

The styling for the reception was simple and clean with white tablecloths, and white wooden chairs. The focal point for the room were the table centrepieces which were filled with mismatched vintage crystal and glass vases and filled with posies of tulips, peonies. This stunning array of light and dark pinks, purples and lilacs equated to simple elegance with the splashes of colour really ‘popping’ against the clean white palate. For increased intimacy with their guests, Sarah and Luke steered away from the traditional long bridal table and opted for a square table. Attention to detail was paramount in this wedding with even the table numbers holding sentiment for the couple as they used wooden toys in the shape of numbers made for Sarah by her late grandfather who had been a carpenter. This was their tribute to him on the day.

A precious moment that Luke recalls from the day is the moment just before he turned to see Sarah walk down the aisle to him, when the priest whispered to him ‘Luke, I want you to turn around and remember this moment for the rest of your life’. He admits that a tear welled in his eye as soon as he saw her and he will indeed cherish that moment.
