Super organised bride Samantha loved planning her elegant classic wedding to Todd.

” It was really nice to have a fiancé who was happy to help me with parts of the planning,” Samantha, 32, says.

The Wollongong couple made the most of their beautiful coastal location for the May 4, 2018 celebrations.

Samantha and Todd, 34, opted to keep their big day classic.

“I wanted our wedding to be something that didn’t date in the photos. I would call my theme classic. Nothing too over-the-top. I used white on white with a touch of green,” Samantha says.

The couple wed in a outdoor ceremony overlooking the beach at Tuckermann Park, Austinmer in front of 120 family and friends.

The reception was held nearby at Headlands, Austinmer Beach, where Samantha used rose gold highlights and touches of green in the centrepieces and name place cards.

“I feel like our wedding had the perfect balance on tears, laughter, joy and excitement,” the bride says.

“The ceremony was very sweet and sentimental and our receptions was a really good party! The food was exceptional, the vibe was happy, we were totally in love… We pulled it off!”

The couple met on a skiing trip in 2014, so it was fitting that Todd popped the question while the couple were on the skifields in the US.

“My beautiful bridesmaids wore navy blue velvet. I had one goal when getting their dress: it had to be navy, and they had to be happy with it,” Samantha says.
