Butter wouldn’t melt 😍 You would never know

Butter wouldn’t melt 😍

You would never know it was wayyyy passed their bedtime and witching hour was in full fledge!

The only downfall about a summer wedding… sunset is 7-8pm

These matching cuties arrived with red eyes and were not keen on my mask 😩

We got through the ceremony and then the fun begins!

I am an advocate for letting “kids be kids”…. Let them run and play!

I will get a smile out of the most teary eyes toddlers 😉

Congratulations Ben + Mikayla!!!

Sarah-Jane and Leisa - your Virgo Twins 👯‍♀

Sarah-Jane and Leisa - your Virgo Twins 👯‍♀️

When I was brain storming Luxe Elopements there were a few non negotiables when it came to my team.

We are curating the best day of someone’s LIFE! Weddings can be emotional for people (guests and the couple).

You are opening up and trusting us with your intimate and vulnerable moments. You share your life story; it can be joyous, adventurous and sometimes heartbreaking.

My Luxe Elopements vendors had to be FAMILY 🌸

Leisa was a little golden nugget who entered my world with her piercing blue eyes 😉 Her bubbly personality and laugh matched my energy. The more we got too know each other, we realised we were so alike!

♍️ Virgos

🗓 ‘85 babies

💁‍♀️ Mother of two

💻 Business owners with entrepreneurial spirit

☮️ Lived in the Byron Bay shire for many years

😆 Both have loud AF laughs and big personalities

💥 I think our super power is making connections with all walks of life, making people feel at ease and we have good banter 😉

We both had extensive experience in the wedding industry (Leisa was a wedding planner before being a successful Celebrant)…. 10+ years in the industry only strengthened our passion for LOVE and creating MOMENTS ✨

As Luxe has grown, so has my team. Leisa’s role has expanded this year from Celebrant to assisting me with Wedding Planning.

Due to the nature of our business we are on location a lot.

My office days are chock full and it’s become too much for me to handle on my own.

I truly believe outsourcing can be the key to growth but it has to be the *right* duties.

I had a long hard think about where my skills are best applied… for me, it’s *on the day*, phone consults and socials (and of course all the boring biz development and accounting).

Connecting with HUMANS and capturing their love/beauty is what lights my soul on fire!

In closing… this is Leisa and I at our 2020 Xmas party which didn’t happen until July 2021 🤪

Fingers crossed our 2021 Xmas Party happens this Sunday🍸

Cheers and bring on 2022!!!

🏆 2021 Business Excellence in Personal Services and Retail!!

Due to Covid we couldn’t have an awards night. We had an online Zoom for the state level (swipe for images of my partner Graham and I getting drunk at home 🤣)

I think it’s an honour to have THRIVED during a pandemic!

Definitely had many tears over the last year but we got there as a Luxe Elopements family 💪

🌸 Why did you choose to Elope?

“It's something that we have always spoken about. We found ourselves sitting at your typical big weddings thinking "we can't imagine doing this, standing up in front of everyone and expressing our love for all to see".

COVID played a part in it too, we live in Tweed Heads, with all friends and family in QLD - with the current closures and vaccine mandates we would have waited much longer to be wed....

Cost is a huge part of our decision too, we could not comprehend taking a loan for our big day.”

🌸 How did you tell loved ones you eloped?

“Thus was a complete secret, no on not even our parents knew..

We video called our parents and siblings after the ceremony - whilst we were still dressed in our gown and suit. Giving them the surprise of their life..

🌸What was the best part of your day?

“Spending the whole morning together by the pool at our hotel.

My favourite part about the ceremony was definitely the first look I have always imagined.”

🌸 Would you recommend eloping with Luxe Elopements?

“From start to end and with ot TEO MONTHS notice, Sarah was such an epic person to deal with. Sarah made everything flow smoothly on the day and really took the time to ensure everything was perfect.

Sarah and I only spoke once on the phone with no face to face meetings, our day was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have had a better day if it wasn't for her, thank you so much Sarah!”

Andddd… that’s a wrap for 2021!!

Sneaking in one last elopement today for Anna + Josh! Congratulations 🥳

💍 Wed 29th Dec 2021

A stunning sunrise Elopement with their bubbas 🥰

Sunrise was at 5am QLD / 6am NSW

Nicola at @goddess_makeupdesign got up at crazy o’clock to do Hair and Makeup… the reception dude didn’t believe her and she had to get clearance from security to park her car - that’s a first 🤣🤣🤣

@ceremoniesbyleisa and I skipped through the border… no traffic at 4.30am 🤣 Quick Maccas drive through for coffee and we are good to go!

Flower farms are closed during the holidays but lucky we have Caroline from @_pikt who GROWS her own flowers on her Byron Bay farm - check out her page and be inspired by a sustainable business by a talented Woman 🌸

Thank you to all of our 2021 couples! Through all the ups and downs of Covid (and bloody RAIN!! Wtf was that Spring Mother Nature!!?)…. Everyone handled in with grace 👌

I heard horror stories from other vendors and I can honestly say I had nothing but patience and understanding from everyone. It goes both ways 😘

I know we went over and above compared to other businesses offering free postponements and swapping Byron jobs to QLD … many, manyyyy unpaid hours were done by the team.

I am proud to stand strong as a collective of professionals with integrity 🥂

Right…. Time to skip off to the Sunny Coast for a holiday with my family 😘

We will be back the week of 10th Jan 2021

Xxxx

PS. Thank you @collabwithkate who assisted today taking BTS snaps and was our 2nd witness 🌸

Merry Christmas!!🎄 We will be back the week of 10th Jan 2022 🥂

Photographers life = never take photos of your own family or event 🙈

I use to be a grinch about Xmas until I had kids! Anyone else?

I swear working retail when I left school, scarred me me for life! I managed mobile phone shops in the middle of shopping centre (pre-IPhones - yes I’m old). We would be surrounded by 5 x shops blasting different Xmas carols all day while dealing with rude customers 👀

Shout out to all me service based workers this time of year (not too mention all the extra C requirements). I just can’t imagine 👏

Getting back on track 🙈

Christmas was really fun this year! Bella is 5yrs and really into it… Sophia is 11yrs and she really enjoys the “gift of giving”. She loved creating the Christmas spirit (Santa / Elf on the Shelf etc) for her little sister 🎄

The weather cooled down for Xmas Eve and Xmas Day - it was really nice (cooler side). The rest of the week has been miserable… storms, wind and rain! Booo…. But that’s too be expected every year it rains for Xmas.

We have been snuggled up enjoying the quiet time, our new patio and all the new toys.

After NYs we are going on a week holiday to the Sunny Coast.

We planned on catching up with local friends this week but I caught a cold and the weather is miserable - so it’s lots of snuggles to unwind.

I made a promise to myself to NOT do any work inbetween. The mental load from this past wedding season Aug-Dec was intense: lockdowns, constant Covid changes, border issues and backlog was a lot.

Lockdown caused 3 x times the amount of work for us, on top of home schooling! When we opened back up it was guns a-blazing trying to catchup. Still so much to do. We all need to reset. 2022 is going to be epic!

We did sneak a little sunrise wedding tomorrow 😉 Whoops - sorry not sorry 🙈

I hope you are all enjoying time with loves ones and not stuck in Covid testing lines for 6hrs 👀

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 🎅🏡🍀🌸📸
