SW BRIDE - ERIN & MARK

light of LOVE

The story of Erin and Mark was unknowingly set in motion long before the couple even met, starting from the moment Erin packed her bags and moved half way across the world to London. Fate brought Erin and Mark together back home in Australia in a serendipitous meeting through mutual London friends in Melbourne. Although their relationship meant jumping between two cities, they beat the long-distance odds to tie the knot four years later.

Erin and Mark wed among the beautiful surrounds of tropical Bali, bare foot and carefree in a vintagestyle celebration. The beautiful lyrics of Higher Love by James Vincent McMorrow filled the air while they drank in the electric atmosphere with family and friends.

It was a day that took on a dream-like glow in the memories of everyone who attended.

STYLE

Erin chose to design her wedding dress herself, enlisting the professional help of Sally Mussared to create a custom style that incorporated all the elements she loved. The result was a gorgeous mermaid style dress with French lace, silk ribbon, and beautifully capped sleeves. With a floor length veil and soft flowing curls, it created a personal style that suited Erin to a tee. The SAMANTHA WILLS All For You Grand Earrings and Mirror Mirror ring tied in perfectly with the colour palette of the day, creating an old world romance style.

INSPIRED

by

The wedding theme was inspired by the raw industrial lighting that illuminates Melbourne bars and restaurants; hidden away in alleyways by day and transformed into beautiful wonderlands at night. Erin also incorporated a vintage, old-world feel into the day, inspired by its romanticism and taking cues from weddings pictures found on Pinterest.

Wooden elements were combined with fresh greens, whites and pastel blues, reinforced in the floral arrangements and Bridal party outfits. Erin hand stamped menus in the style of an old-fashioned library card, and tables were held up on vintage draws and shutters.
