After just one date, Natalie and Michael knew there was a strong connection between them. From there, the planning began and they soon shared a magical and elegant wedding day with family and friends
A True Connection...
Having first met through work, Natalie and Michael reconnected years later through their families. From their first official date, there was an undeniable spark and a connection was very soon founded. In the summer of 2015, after a romantic breakfast at Sydney's Opera Bar, the couple went for a stroll through Mrs Macquarie's chair where Michael popped the question.
A Designer Dream...
From the outset, Natalie dreamed of an elegant and sophisticated wedding gown. This was found in a custom designed Steven Khalil gown featuring a fitted silhouette and intricate lace. Natalie's bouquet, along with those of the bridesmaids, were created with stunningly classic white roses for a truly timeless look. Michael and his groomsmen each sported dapper black Versace suits.
An Elegant Romance...
The dazzling water and dimly lit sky of Jones Bay Wharf was the perfect setting for some incredible photos following the couples intimate chapel ceremony. "We love how candid and natural the photos were. Siempre Weddings were so easy to work with and made us feel relaxed on the day." Natalie tells us. Following the romantic shoot, the couple treated their guests to a night of opulence with wonderful food, festive dancing and incredible moments.
A Dazzling Display...
A crisp display of black and white tones echoed throughout the reception. Gold detailing was complimented with dazzling cutlery, centrepieces and candles. Dim red lighting created a soft and romantic feel throughout the room, with white roses and subtle greenery placed throughout the tables. "The theme was gold, grey and white. I wanted it to be simple and elegant. We had a fairy light canopy on the ceiling and clusters of flowers on the tables" explained Natalie.
Words Of Wisdom...
After planning their big day, the couple have some wisdom to share with those planning their big day. "Don't stress if things don't work out on the day or along the way. Everything will fall into place. Just enjoy every moment as the day comes. It goes so quickly!"
