We went for classic and timeless with a modern spin on it. Black and white bridal party, En Masse of bridesmaids bouquets and guest tables. These sorts of touches allowed me to show my love of being a details girl

What was the biggest source of inspiration while planning your wedding?

I've always had such a love for fashion and flowers so felt like I had a pretty good idea what I love in terms of weddings. I was very fortunate to have our incredible celebrant - Morgan Seifert as a friend also. I sat down with her drinking wine and talking all things weddings. She pointed me in the direction of who to go to/ where to go. I ended up getting most of my inspiration from together journal and found myself always drawn to the black and white themed weddings

The most memorable moment from your day?

Oh this is so hard cause we were fortunate to have such an amazing day. I think I would have to say hearing Pat say his vows. I really didn’t expect to be taken back by how amazing his words were
