 BRIDE WE LOVE: RACHEL

A family garden, paper lights within the trees, dreamcatchers everywhere, aka, an ideal intimate wedding.

THE ONE

Rachel was at university when she and Wayne met and quickly became friends. The holidays were approaching, and Rachel was headed home for break. But she simply couldn't stop considering Wayne. She had never felt this type of strong link with anybody; Rachel remarked that when she reflected upon what home meant, she considered Wayne. In the past, Rachel had eagerly awaited a trip home during the school holidays. But now she couldn't wait to get back to campus. Rachel knew very quickly that Wayne was her soulmate, and the man would be a part of her future forever.

A NEW TRADITION

After the ceremony, all Rachel's and Wayne's guests arranged along the walkway in the ceremony marquee towards the reception garden. They threw confetti produced from dried petals and lavender. The couple loved walking past almost all their smiling family and friends, leading to some of the best pics during the day.

THE THEME

Relaxed, rustic, along with a little boho. The setting: Rachel's parent's dreamy garden. The decor: Rachel and Wayne desired to take advantage of the beautiful natural surroundings, therefore the couple hung paper flowers and dreamcatchers in the trees, placed fairy lights in bottles through the garden, and usually kept the vibe easygoing and laid-back—a perfect reflection of both their personalities.

THE bridesmaid dresses

As Rachel place it, she "couldn’t have pictured a far more perfect dress." It was the first she decided to try on, also it became the one against which she compared others. Rachel scheduled three bridal appointments, admittedly, she said, so she "could just swish around within the dress!" (The floral embroidery and soft champagne color also happened to coordinate beautifully using the wedding theme.) Wayne and Rachel danced their first to Firestone by Conrad Sewell.

THE SWEETEST PART

Rachel is vegan, coupled with her cake produced by the vegan bakery, Earth Cake Bristol. Dedicated to her vegan practice, Rachel didn't want to serve vegan food only as a substitute; it comprised the whole menu. Nobody could tell (shhh) the cake was vegan— a delicious confection with 3 tiers: caramelized biscuit, lemon drizzle, and toffee/coffee. (Our 2 cents: have a cue from Rachel and Wayne. Their wedding, their food decision. Don't take into account pleasing each guest 100%.)

What made Rachel feel most beautiful? The quiet moments she spent with Wayne and Fran, their wedding photographer. The way Wayne checked out her, was, like Rachel, described, "everything."
