We got married on a hill at the farm that Todd grew up on in Pollok on the Awhitu Peninsula, it has been in his family for generations and that made it super special. Because we kept it local we were able to have all our living grandparents attend which meant so much to us.

I went into Kenny and Harlow with an open mind. I was warmly welcomed, offered bubbles and started looking through the array of styles.. there were so many options which was great as I quickly got a good idea of what suited me. The dress I ended up going with was actually the first dress I tried on and I basically didn’t look back.

I always knew I wanted to have a bow at the back of my dress, I just never thought I would go that big! But I am so glad I did. If there is one day to make a statement, it’s your wedding day!

Meg pulled out these beautiful organza sleeves with a train attached and I knew straight away I wanted to wear them. They were so fun which is exactly what I wanted on the day, and a dress that was simple & elegant to match.

Going back every second month to try on my dress at different stages was so enjoyable, even in the middle of a pandemic Kenny and Harlow made the experience easy. At the final fitting I tried on my dress and before walking out to show my mum, I cried; the excitement & happiness was overwhelming, I loved it!

My dress was a 100% silk bias cut with a cowl back and some delicate lace that cascaded from the shoulders of the dress. I also used my mother’s veil which Meg helped us to restore, and we added some of the lace onto it, to tie it all in. It really was the dream dress I had always wanted!
