Hayley + David @ Hastings Point, Kingscliff

Congratulations Hayley + David!! 💖

Hayley has been following us for 3yrs! An engagement and a baby in-between she finally got her big day with Luxe Elopements – no pressure right 🤣🙈

Each wedding day is completely different because each couple is totally unique!

Every day is unique from our couples personalities, the styling, the vibe, the weather… it’s never the same… that’s what makes it so much fun!

In Hayley’s words:

Tell Us About Your Experience With Luxe Elopements?

“It was structured very well. It was full of fun and laughter. SJ and my celebrant Leisa and my Videographer Martin were an incredible team that did everything to make me feel comfortable, to ease my anxieties and to accommodate my needs. Nothing was too much trouble. But I will also say, that once SJ arrived, EVERYTHING felt suddenly so real and the nerves kicked in. It couldn’t have been helped and it’s just anxieties of a Bride minutes away from walking down the aisle.”

Ashlie + Alisha @ Cabarita, Same-Sex Wedding

MRS + MRS 😍

Ashlie + Alisha officially tied the knot with their 5 x little people as witnesses ✨ Well, our team was the “official” witnesses on the legals 🤣

Cabarita beach was recently voted number #1 beach in Australia! Secret little spot inbetween Byron Bay and the Gold Coast ☀️

We rolled up to a double rainbow 🌈 which reappeared just as Ash was saying her vows! Could it get anymore romantic!?

Tell Us About Your Experience With Luxe Elopements?

“What a great one it was… We can’t thank them enough! We were suppose to get married a few weeks ago, except we went in to lockdown…after an emotional day within 5 days we had a new date and SJ worked to rebook all our vendors and ensure we were all set again…it was effortless for us and she took out all the stress.

Jacqui the hair and make up lady was incredible. She smiled away and chatted with our 3 girls as she did their hair first, she was just so lovely and down to earth and our looks at the end were just stunning- we wish we never had to take the make up off.

SJ is lovely, she makes you feel super relaxed from the first second you meet her and it just makes the whole taking posed photos relaxed and enjoyable. She certainly knows her lighting and how to capture those perfect shots.

Leisa who we used as our celebrant…my gosh- her ceremony she wrote for us was just perfection, it had tears welling up in our eyes and tears of laughter too, she knew just the right length of ceremony to do to keep our little ones happy, the whole day was perfect thanks to this team they are just AMAZING!

We didn’t have to worry about a single thing! They did the timeline, organised our flowers, location, all of it, and it was how we pictured it perfectly.”

Thank YOU both for making our “jobs” so much fun 😍

Julie-Anne + Wayne @ Broken Head, Byron Bay

Cute story: Julie-Anne + Wayne’s daughter, Cassie surprised them with a Luxe Elopements!!!

They have been together for over 20 years – their adult kids thought it was about time they officially tied the knot 😉

JA + W had organised a holiday in Byron Bay when Cassie sent them a wedding invite to their OWN wedding 🙈 Brilliant idea! What a surprise!

I really hope my daughters grow up to be this thoughtful and kind 👏

There is something special about getting married after many years…. You have already lived through your vows!

Mother Nature spoilt us with THIS AUTUMN SUNSET 🥰

Rain on your wedding day?

 

Rain on Your Wedding Day? 

Every bride dreams of perfect weather on their wedding day.  It’s a roll the dice situation and hope for the best!  But it’s not all doom and gloom if the weather doesn’t fall in your favour.

Realistically if you’re on the East Coast of Australia the odds are it could rain, especially if you’re planning a summer or spring wedding.  But!  Never fear, whether it’s the wet season of summer (December to March) or the typical hit or miss 20 minute storms in April, September or October most of the time it travels out to sea fairly swiftly.  It almost never affects our ceremonies and in fact, it provides the most epic and flattering lighting!

They say rain is good luck on your wedding and we love this sentiment! If the weather does turn grey on your wedding day remember this old saying and put your mind at rest … storms create the most breathtaking colours and photos!  And overcast days, well the clouds create the most flattering light acting as a natural filter.  We’ll shelter in place and wait for the skies to clear, then grab our clear umbrellas as an accessory and capture those amazing post wedding feels and post stormy skies!

We are extremely experienced in these situations and will let you know IF the weather looks like it may pose a problem.  It does rain “most days” in spring/summer however it never seems to impact us as they move so quickly out to sea.  We watch the BOM radar closely, and will advise if it may be best to move your ceremony or wait it out – usually only 15-30 minutes max.  And rest assured we very rarely need to change location or reschedule.

Pictured: 2021 Feb (wet season) rained all day + cleared in the afternoon = RAINBOW!

Worst Cast Scenario…

Okay, having covered all that, I hear you asking “What happens if we can’t wait out the storm SJ?” Don’t worry we’ve always got a back up plan! 

We notify you 24hrs prior if there looks to be an imposing issue, offering with a few options like a change of ceremony time or location (think your Airbnb, reception venue or one of our partners).  The day of, we carefully watch the BOM radar and let you know when it’s safe to go outside.  Don’t forget those cute clear umbrellas!  If it looks like the weather won’t let up, then we will change locations indoors.  

ABSOLUTE worst case and the weather is a total wipe out, floods or blocked roads – we reschedule to another day you are available.  As usually the would-be newlyweds would have their honeymoon already pre-booked somewhere nearby!
