Kirri Separates

First up, model Kate wears the sleek separates, “Kirri“. Wearing a top and skirt bridal ensemble is an ultra modern style. We love the asymmetrical lines in the top and button details.

Tiana Top + Kirri Skirt

An alternative separates style is to pair the Kirri skirt with the more delicate “Tiana” top.

Bobby Separates

Another fun, figure-hugging separates option is “Bobby“. As with the other tops, the Bobby top can be paired with the sleek Kirri skirt, or its own iteration, complete with feather and beaded lace detail.

Thea Gown

“Thea” is a classic sheath fitting wedding gown, featuring a striking u-neckline front and back, and full beading. It’s a timeless, flattering style that accentuates the waist.

Bridget Gown

Elegant and timeless, “Bridget” is one of Erin Clare’s iconic crepe gown that creates a stunning silhouette.

Beautifully styled in the most stunning beach location, Lauren and Joe’s wedding was a heartfelt dream of a day. The on-trend colour palette of peaches and warm neutral tones with pops of rust and peony coral were perfect for the beachside location of Sunshine Beach SLSC. The ceremony, styled by Simply Style Co., overlooked Sunshine Beach and guests didn’t have to travel far to the reception – in fact, it was right upstairs! 

Bride, Lauren, kindly shared her wedding secrets with us below… 

Why I married this man

Joe is unbelievably thoughtful and considerate. We both have strong family values, which is very important to me. He can always make me smile – no matter what mood I am in or how bad my day has been. He is one very attractive man! If you look up the word “gentleman” in the dictionary, I swear there would be a photo of Joe (right next to a photo of my Dad.)

Why he married me

Joe says, “Lauren is a kind soul who has strong family values. She makes me feel like I am important to her. She’s my rock – whenever I have a bad day, within two seconds of being around her, my troubles melt away.”

Biggest wedding-planning challenge

Our guest list – we are both from quite large, tight knit families, so even before we added any friends, our numbers were up there!

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: My dress – I am not a very confident person and knew I wanted to feel beautiful yet comfortable on the most important day of my life to date!

Best money-saver: Asking for recommendations from locals for decorators and florists – a few of the ones we spoke to originally wanted to charge us per head, and we couldn’t understand why (given we weren’t having anything that was on a per person basis, such as chair covers or table settings) – but the ones we worked with (Rachelle from Simply Style Co. and Sandi from Willow Bud) were absolutely amazing, well priced and gave us a completely bespoke service.
