With everything going to plan and the atmosphere full of love and laughter, it was truly a perfect day from beginning to end.
Tell us about your wedding:
We had our wedding in the Yarra Valley in early May. We were so lucky with the weather it was beautiful and sunny all day. We got married in the gallery of art at Hubert Estate, and enjoyed cocktail hour on the lawns surround by vineyards. The evening was amazing, so much good food, cake and wine was consumed whilst we danced the night away to our favourite songs! We had the best time and were so lucky everything went to plan with no dramas at all!
How was your Robert’s reaction to your walking down the aisle?
Rob just looked so happy, he was smiling ear to ear and looked so relaxed. As soon as we left the ceremony he was commenting how amazing the dress was and how great it had turned out. Although he had no idea what my dress would look like he said it didn’t shock him because it was so me and that’s the reason I loved it so much too.
How was the journey to finding your perfect gown?
I’ve been following Anna’s work for years and a while ago I fell in love with the Quinn dress when I saw it on instagram. I was so excited to try it on when I got engaged but it wasn’t quite right with my body shape but the amazing stylist suggested I consider a custom style. So after trying a few other styles to see what suited me I chose different elements of different dresses and got that made with the fabric from the Quinn dress. When I saw it all come together at my first fitting I couldn’t be happier! It was even better than I’d had imagined it! - Clare
“My experience with Anna Campbell was amazing! Can’t fault it at all! The first styling session was so much fun, felt like a princess trying on all these amazing dresses and Mehnaj was so helpful, pulling things out that I wouldn’t have even thought to look at. The fittings after were also so amazing, Hatice was so knowledgeable and really noticed every tiny detail and made sure everything was flawless.” - Clare
Looking back, do you have a favourite moment from the wedding day?
It’s so hard to choose a favourite moment, the whole day was absolutely perfect, if I had to choose though I’d say the feeling walking back up the aisle hand in hand with my new husband! With the formalities over and the initial nerves out of the way we both felt so excited to soak up the day with each other and our loved ones.
