THE SPECTACULAR WEDDING!

 OUR SPECTACULAR  LEBANESE / CROATION  WEDDING   7 January 2012

Victoria & Anthony's 170 guest / 12 bridal party wedding was a gorgeous affair.

Their colour theme was Ivory & Sage Green ~ hence this colour scheme!  
They had 3 bridesmaids, 1 best man, 2 groomsmen, 1 junior bridesmaid, 2 flower girls & 1 page boy & themselves!


Weather rained, but somehow the photographer & video team made it look like a fine day!!


Weather poured & blew like crazy leading up to the wedding, & we 'helpers on the wedding team' managed to pick flowers & greenery, carry upstairs to 3rd floor apartment, arrange on windy balcony & get back downstairs in now tall watered glass vases in cars/vans high enough to take!  Quite a feat in the gustery conditions!   
But stunning flower arrangements looked gorgeous in Church  (Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church) & Reception  (Hopetoun Alpha, Auckland Central).

So bride absolutely romantically swathed in ivory silk organza over ivory satin beautifully finished by her mother's apt redesign.  Strapless closely fitted bodice, swathed with organza folds & trimmed over to one side with delicate frills of the silk organza.  Huge gathered skirt layering behind to gorgeously trailing long train & also caught up towards one hip with frills & organza handmade flowers. 
Centre back of the wedding gown delicately cross~laced in tapered shaped opening.
Our romantic bride wore family heirlook pearls & earrings & designer shoes.

Bride's Attendants wore individually styled soft sage~green draped knee length dresses & pale beige high wedged shoes.  The tiny flower girls wore the ivory silk organza layered & frilled dresses with matching bows in hair & carried decorated single~bloom flowers.  Each carried a heart~shaped cushion (for wedding rings) (Page Boy 3 year old Zac), a decorated basket & Victoria's fabric hanging bag, (1 year old Lola & 2 year old Melika) all tiny relations of Bride & Groom.

Needless to say, Marion had a huge hand in designing, making & altering all bridal garments & accessories.
