Leah & Tye | Real Weddings Overseas

As we have a love of travel we decided to get married overseas in Bali. Our wedding day was perfect! The only thing I was worried about in the lead up to the day was the weather and we were lucky enough to have the clearest blue sky for the day. The Rain man we hired really did work! Our ceremony was amazing, we wrote the whole ceremony ourselves, so it really meant a lot to us both. Our reception went off without a hitch. The staff were exceptional and we had so many compliments on the wonderful food and drinks. Our guests all appeared to have a great time and enjoyed themselves very much. As it was a very hot evening in Bali, the pool was very inviting with most of the wedding party and guests ending up in the pool! The night went so fast for Tye and I, but we both loved every second of it. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day.

Cassandra & Matthew | Real Weddings New South Wales

the day was almost perfect with a few hicups along the way.I recieved my dress an hr before the wedding which didnt seem to bother me on the day I would have worn my froggy Pj's I was so excited to marry Matt. We were married at Illawarra Rhododendrn gardens. As we said our vows it started to rain, which I thought was kind of romantic and thnaks to pinkice photography they captured the most beautiful photos with the dark grey sky. The reception was so much fun we had Cartoon kingdom come out and draw Caricatures of all the guests, we used this as our bonboneires. We surprised our guests with our bridal waltz as we wern't the best of dancers we took dance lessons. The food and service was great at the Diamonds reception centre and the whole day went so quick so after our dance me and matt stood back and took a look at our wedding to remember what a great day it was. The whole day was filmed by capture you videography they were seriously a brides dream to deal with! Shane the video guy was soo much fun We cant wait to see our wedding DVD!

Toni & Matthew | Real Weddings Queensland

We wanted a really simple wedding that included our closest family and friends and was a reflection of us. We also didn't want to spend a lot of money as we were renovating our house at the time and could think of more important ways to spend the money. At the outset we both agreed that the main thing we didn't want was a sit down dinner. We really just wanted to do something different. We had already chosen our wedding venue (Preston Chapel) some time before, so it was a matter of making bookings and locking in a date. We ended up having a stand-up cocktail function at our favourite local cafe with about 60 guests, a live musician and I made my own cake! The wine and beer flowed and everyone danced and sang the whole night. The Chapel was gorgeous (as it always is), our photographer was amazing and my dress was just perfect. Oh and the new husband was quite alright too! No matter how much I wanted to keep it simple and not stress too much, there was still so much to do and organise. In the end however, everyone had a great night and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Alfina & Aaron | Real Weddings New South Wales

I wore my mum's veil and the gloves my Nonna wore 51 years ago at her wedding. We were married at Our Lady of Fatima Church at Kingsgrove. Some of my Year 4 students attended and blew bubbles at us outside the church once we were married. This was followed by photos at Carss Park and a reception at the newly renovated Garden's on Forest at Peakhurst. I made a lot of the parts of the wedding myself: the invitations, bonbonniere, unity candle, guest tree and church pew bows.
