REAL BRIDE : Destination wedding - Helicopters, Snow capped mountains, Lakeside vows

moira hughes marley mountain new zealand wedding

We could never have dreamed of such an incredible location for a wedding when we first meet our bride Zoe. As we worked with her to create her dream gown we learnt more about her plans for her special day. From the details of the ceremony by the lake to her intention of taking a helicopter up to the mountains.

When we received her wedding photos they absolutely took our breath away!

The ceremony took place in the picturesque lakeside spot in Queenstown New Zealand, with the snow caped mountains in the distance.

The flowers and styling were so beautifully created by One Fine Day. We love the colours selected for a unique combination with the blush tones in The Marley dress and veil.
