>A crystal clear beginning

Modern Wedding Posted: February 17, 2011

>Lauren and Trent were inseparable within days of meeting each other. A few years later their wedding was a luxurious celebration of their love; complete with haute couture, beautiful bouquets and a stunning reception.

 
 “After dinner at our favourite restaurant Trent organised a room at the Crowne Plaza. He had filled it with white and pink roses and candles. He bent down on one knee and surprised me with my beautiful ring. We celebrated with rose Moet out of crystal glasses that Trent had engraved with our names. We drank from those same glasses on our wedding night,” says Lauren.

She loves all things designer so when it came to buying her wedding gown, Lauren went straight for the best – a Vera Wang gown from Helen Rodrigues in Neutral Bay. Her ivory dress was strapless with a fishtail, bands of ruffles and featured fabric blooms on the train. Classic yet modern it represented the essence of the entire wedding day: formal, elegant and romantic.

Her four bridesmaids wore Vera Wang too – strapless mint dresses with a black bow and balloon hemline. Their shoes were black with a structured bow and Lauren gifted them crystal earrings to wear on the day.
Bouquets of white David Austen roses complemented by pink rose buds beautifully enhanced Lauren and her maids’ look.
Trent and his four groomsmen followed the ivory and black theme by wearing suits with vest from Spurling Formal Wear.
 
Every inch of the ballroom was professionally decorated, creating a stylish and romantic space.

 “We had white fabric and fairy lights draped from the ceiling. Each round table had a white tablecloth, a mirror centrepiece with crystal ball and tea light candles. Around each crystal ball were three small crystal votives and three vases featuring champagne roses and white David Austin roses,” says Lauren.

The entire day was memorable and yet for Lauren it was seeing Trent as she walked into the church that stuck in her mind. They also attended bridal waltz lessons before their big day and danced like professionals on the night.

The entire celebration was captured by Andrew from Impact Images.
“We have the most beautiful wedding album to treasure,” says Lauren.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii: Turtle Bay, Maui and Waikiki.

Hope you enjoy their beautiful story as much as I did!
