B E N & K A T E
{ View By Sydney }
Beachside in tropical Byron Bay, Ben asked Kate to be his wife. With their two children by their side, the couple tied the knot in fresh and modern style at View by Sydney.
It didn’t take long…
It didn’t take long for Ben & Kate to know that it was meant to be, “I knew quite early on. I left to travel 3 weeks after I met Ben, and it was the longest 8 months being away from him!” said Kate. 5 years later, Kate and Ben got engaged on a family road trip. “Our son Bray was there watching it all unfold. I was pregnant at the time with our baby girl and it was so special and surreal.”
Unique and fun…
Kate wore a stunning Christie Nicole gown which was the perfect mix of “unique and fun, but still bridal”. Paired with a stunning bouquet of white flowers. Each of her 5 bridesmaids wore neutral silk Bec & Bridge dresses, whilst Ben and his 5 groomsmen were decked out in classic M.J Bale suits.
Fresh, modern and “us”…
From the outset, the couple wanted a fresh and modern day that had a sense of “us”, opting for green, white and accents of gold throughout and chose View by Sydney as the location to celebrate.
The couple styled View by Sydney to perfection, with white table cloths and pale grey linen napkins, paired with gold cutlery. The look was completed with gold candles and lashings of flowers and greenery as table centrepieces.
Not a dry eye in the house…
The couples favourite part of the day? That’s a hard question… “I loved it all. The moment where you walk down the isle is pretty surreal. Seeing your grooms face standing at the end of the isle – I’ll never forget that moment.”
“My son also did a reading at our ceremony which he had written himself. ( I know – so precious ) I don’t think there was a dry eye anywhere after that!”
The couple honeymooned in Hawaii and hope to have more babies and travel in the future.
