There is SO much talent in this incredible Byron Bay wedding. The gorgeous bride Kristy has not only has her own calligraphy company COTTON BLOSSOM, but is also a florist so she created these stunning florals and did the calligraphy herself!! And then there is the dress designer, her friend JENNIFER GIFFORD DESIGNS who designed Kristy’s dream gown, and of course some of our favourites there to document the day with BYRON LOVES FAWN captured these beautiful images. I adore the lovely soft colours of the bridesmaids dressesééò just so pretty!
In planning their big day, Kristy and Shay wanted to incorporate all the things that they love, and that reflect the style of their home. With a field next door to their main venue, they were able to separate the different areas effectively, creating a real experience for their guests. Kristy kept her colours neutral, allowing her the flexibility to choose flowers the week of the wedding, and giving delightful dahlias the starring role. Favours were fragranced soaps handmade by her mum. The evening ended on an outdoor dancefloor, with an alfresco bar and strings of lights shining down on the happy revellers below.
ééòKristy and Shay’s wedding was one of the sweetest weddings we’ve had the joy of photographing. The day was a perfect mix of beauty, sentiment and love. Through the countless weddings and shoots we’ve worked on together in the past, Kristy has become a dear friend who’s work we revere. With the delicate and unstructured beauty she weaves into her designs it’s always such a thrill seeing her concepts come to life, so we were eagerly awaiting to see what she had planned for her own wedding!
There were precious details and sweet nooks everywhere. A few of my favourite aspects of the day were Kristy’s shoes ééò which were the same shoes her mumma walked down the aisle in, Kristy and Shay’s gorgeous daughter Abigale, who was the cutie-pie flower girl, her sister’s vintage bridesmaids dress, the darling handmade soap favours, and of course Kristy’s stunning dress which she designed with Jennifer Gifford. There was so much to photograph, it was a total joy and thrill. The atmosphere was organic, very relaxed and natural. A pure reflection of Kristy and Shay’s personalities and love!ééò BYRON LOVES FAWN, PHOTOGRAPHERS
