Taylor and Ben keep it personal at elegant romantic wedding

Love caught Taylor and Ben by surprise.

“You know how people say one day you will be living your life normally then out of nowhere you will find the one? Well that’s exactly what happened,” Taylor explains.

“Ben and I met a local bar in August 2015 through mutual friends and were inseparable from the moment we met.”

A proposal followed about two years later, on the couple’s favourite beach on the NSW Central Coast.

As big fans of the Central Coast, the Sydneysiders chose Kantara House at Green Point for their elegant romantic wedding on May 4, 2019 with 104 guests.

“The chapel had us straight away, it was so beautiful and modern, truly stunning and the reception room was gorgeous and simple and a perfect canvas for us to style,” Taylor says of the venue.

The bride worked with her florist to create a lush feel with greenery and white florals. The reception room was draped in fairy lights and the couple, who opted not to have a bridal party, had a sweetheart table complete with boho peacock chairs.

“It was all about the love,” Taylor says.

“With gorgeous personalised touches, our day could have not been any more perfect.”

Taylor discovered her dream lace gown from Brides of Beecroft, teaming it with sparkly flats from The White Collection.

“Ben proposed on our holiday in December 2017. We were walking down our favourite beach on the Central Coast just on sunset, timed perfectly he lent down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. It was very romantic with no one around us just the ocean and the sunset behind us, I was in awe,” Taylor recalls.

Venue was the number one consideration for the couple when planning their elegant romantic wedding. Taylor loved the tropical gardens surrounding Kantara House – perfect for photographs.

As well as beautiful photos by Seasons in Art Photography, the couple also captured their day on film thanks to Marry Me Movies.

“I really wanted to add personal touches to our wedding,” Taylor says. “We had personalised napkins for canapes and dinner and personalised coasters. Our bonbonnieres were cookies with ‘Ben and Taylor 04.05.2019 and Thank you’ on them,” Taylor says.
