{ Flaxton Gardens }
Jaide and Chris' first date was at a coffee shop, after meeting through mutual friends. A romantic beach engagement set the scene for a Flaxton Gardens wedding filled with flowers and fun.
An instant attraction...
The couple knew that they we meant to be almost instantly. "We both knew pretty early on. Chris wanted to propose after a month, but his parents advised to wait at least a year", Jaide reveals.
A pink and white delight...
The loved up couple wed in a stunning, outdoor ceremony and fun reception at Flaxton Gardens.
"The colour scheme was pink, navy and white. I really didn’t want the ‘glitz and glam’ style wedding rather a rustic, romantic setting. We used a lot of fresh flowers, candles and wood to create this look."
Blush and navy blue...
Each of Jaide's bridesmaid's wore blush White Runway gowns and Chris and his groomsmen wore navy Rodger David suits. The bride chose a gorgeous gown from Made with Love Bridal, that had her groom swooning! "I always wanted a low back dress and the only request from Chris was to be fitted around my bum (his favourite asset) and this dress ticked both the boxes!", recalls Jaide.
Jaide and her bride tribe walked down the aisle clutching a sweet bouquet of pink, white and green blooms, bursting with character.
Rustic Romance...
In keeping with their envisioned theme, the couple kept their reception classic with a touch of rustic. Each table was adorned with white lanterns, fresh flowers, DIY mason jars and florals.
"Behind the bridal table my dad a massive love heart with wrapped fairy lights and we arranged flowers around the heart, it was beautiful!"
A banquet fit for a King...
The couple gave their guests the royal treatment with a three course meal ranging from chicken risotto fritters, gnocchi and spiced pork belly to chocolate and caramel mud cake.
Memorable Moments...
Jaide and Chris will always cherish those moments at their reception, when they were watching every drinking, dancing and enjoying themselves.
"We sat there just watching everyone and were so happy to have everyone all of them together – sounds corny but we wanted to enjoy every moment."
