I fell in love with the idea of 4 bright colored roses - red, pink, orange and yellow, for the brides maids. I also took inspiration in the simple elegance of Sirromet and tried to bring that through with all my wedding planning and arrangements. I also loved how my wedding gown seemed to have an "old world" elegance which I tried to carry through where possible. So in the end I think we ended up with a wedding inspired simple eleganance that had a slight antique feel and Daniel both agreed we wanted our guests to feel pampered and spoilt. We had lilac dresses for the bridesmaids and a single rose in their hair, the groomsmen had matching lilac ties black suits and ivory shirts, Daniel had an ivory silk tie to match my dress, rose petals of the above colors sprinkled down the isle and around the tables which were dressed in crisp white linen with candelabras and lots of tea light candles.

Kinga and Nigel were married in St John’s Cathedral, which Nigel's grandfather worked on as an architect. He was responsible for designing the ornate wood carvings that decorate the cathedral, which gave special significance to the location that Nigel chose to pledged his commitment to Kinga. Kinga walked down the aisle music composed by her father, especially for her big day. Her Fiorenza gown was a of special significance, as Pina is a family friend and was on hand to personally fit Kinga into her gown.

Growing up, I never imagined what I would wear to my wedding. After we announced our engagement, I had two criteria for choosing my wedding dress; it was not to be strapless, and I didn't want any volume in the skirt! Well, as things turned out, Colleen at Bridal on James selected a dress that she thought would suit me, I instantly adored it. I loved the lines of the dress, the unusual circular pleating and the spectacular, unusual blue bow. I grew up loving blue (my Mother was infatuated with the colour) so the bow was just perfect.

“We decided we wanted our wedding to be romantic and fun. Alan and I have been together for nearly 12 years and have a little girl Ilana who was 10 months old at the  time of our wedding. Our wedding was organised in 3 months so we were very fortunate to find a dress and venues at such short notice; but couldn't be happier with the result. The reception at Villa Pourzand is decorated in fifteenth Century Renaissance Florence which I thought capture the mood of the wedding, the dress and us perfectly. We kept the formalities to a minimum and went with a cocktail style reception. My makeup was done by Lily Costanzo from Lily Makeup Co and my hair was by Marie-Claire Dowling. Everyone who attended had a brilliant time and our day went off without a hitch.”

Jacquelyn says: “Rob is a surfer and loves the ocean and thought it would be nice to have water photos. So when everything was over, Rob and I had photos in the water, with us running out of the surf”.
