What was your fave thing of the day? Hearing my husband say how much he loved me in front of so many people.
What would you have changed if anything? Tightened my lace up dress before the waltz so I didn't feel like I was going to stand on it.
Where did you get married? We got married in Cairns; both DH and I grew up there. The ceremony was in a church, my DH's grandfather married us. The reception was in the ballroom at the Shangri-la hotel on the esplanade.

How many bridesmaids did you have? what dresses did they wear? 2 bridesmaids, my little sister and my best friend since highschool. They wore sage green, long, strapless dresses.
What were your table centre pieces? Native flower arrangements.
Did you have a bonbonierrie? if so what was it? yes, I made little fold up boxes printed with leucodendrons (flowers) and the guests names (doubled as place cards) and filled them with hand made truffles that a chef friend of mine made for us.
What did you invites look like? did you make them or get them made? Invites were long and thin. They were green like the bridesmaids dresses and had a leucodendron on them. The writing was on a transparent cover that was pinned over the top. I made them too.
Did you have a real or fake boquet? what flowers were they? Real flowers, natives. Mostly proteas and leucodendrons. My boquet was in creamy colours and the bridesmaids were in pinky red shades.
