Meaghan and Jesse share their stunning beach wedding in Australia. Read on for all the details…
How did you and your partner meet?
We were roommates for a few years and throughout that time became best friends. Eventually our friendship blossomed and we fell in love.
How did he propose?
We were vacationing in the Amalfi Coast, and one day we hiked the Santiero Degli Dei (or Walk of the Gods). We stopped for a picnic lunch on the cliffside and afterwards, he got down on one knee and popped the question. It took me completely by surprise!
Tell us about your wedding gown and how you chose it:
I already had my eye on the Lanai gown for several years before I was even engaged, (thank you Pinterest). I always loved the low back and simple design of it. To avoid getting my hopes up too high in case I didn’t like the dress on, I tried several other styles first. But the moment I finally tried it for myself, I knew it was the one.
What sort of style did you envision for your wedding day?
I always envisioned a beachy, relaxed style of wedding.
What was your favorite moment from the day?
My favourite moment of the day was seeing my fiancé down the end of the aisle. I will never forget the smile he gave me, and the feeling I had in my heart.
Any DIY décor elements?
My sister made some beautiful cards for the guest table & photobook.
Any tips that you can give to future brides?
I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to get too stressed about the minor details, especially on the day. Everything works out in the end. My biggest tip though that someone gave to me and I would like to pass down, is to make sure you take at least a few moments throughout the wedding day to just stop, and take it all in. The day goes by in a flash!
