This week, I’m joined by Michele, who planned a relaxed, intimate celebration for her special day. Michele and her husband chose Wild Canvas in Waitomo for a small glamping-style wedding with just their mums and two close couples.
We chat about:
💜 A surprise proposal hidden inside a birthday card at Falls Retreat
💜 Choosing their date 02.04.24 and what it symbolised
💜 Planning a micro-wedding at Wild Canvas and keeping the guest list and the budget, tiny
💜 How an all-in package made everything low-stress and simple
💜 Walking down the aisle five minutes after getting dressed, and forgetting her bouquet
💜 Finding the one at Madison Rose Bridal on her first appointment
💜 Sharing their pregnancy news with their mums on the wedding day
💜 The vintage plane flyover that felt like fate
💜 Heading straight into a European honeymoon
💜 Why there were no post-wedding blues, just post-holiday ones
💜 Her business, The Perfect Match, and sourcing affordable, sustainable wedding accessories
...and so much more!
