Jade and Rick love story began a decade ago at a park party, orchestrated by mutual friends. Throughout their 20s, they built a bond that led them to embark on a remarkable journey, culminating in a celebration of love on the stunning Skiathos Island, Greece.
Jade shares: “Rick proposed to me during an adventure day he had planned. We had just moved to the Sunshine Coast, Australia, and he took me horse riding and booked a fantastic room on the water in Noosa. We then took a vintage speedboat around the river and docked at a yummy restaurant for dinner. It was so special.”
The couple envisioned a relaxed atmosphere with island vibes and a classic Greek experience. The couple, assisted by a Greek-based wedding planner, meticulously crafted their dream celebration over a year. Exploring venues in 2022, Jade and Rick struggled to find the perfect fit until a serendipitous recollection of a bar from Jade’s past guided them to their ideal venue.
Jade’s wedding look radiated summer elegance. She opted for a silk Mirror Palais gown with a train for a touch of classic sophistication. Her choice of low-heeled mules from By Far complemented the simplicity of her attire. Jade did her makeup, embracing a natural look, while a simple blow wave completed her hair.
Sofia, the talented photographer from Quint Photography, was a constant presence beside the newlyweds, capturing the essence of their special moments. She skillfully crafted stunning shots during the island ceremony, creating timeless portraits in urban settings, and successfully conveyed the emotional energy of the beautiful Greek wedding atmosphere. Sofia’s approach to photography is marked by warmth, heartfelt moments, and elegance, making her an integral part of preserving the memories of this enchanting day.
The entrance of lovebirds at the wedding reception was an exceptionally joyful and emotional moment. Guests greeted them with joyous exclamations, and lively music filled the air, prompting guests and the newlyweds to join in a cheerful dance, uniting everyone in celebration.
In the evening, Jade swapped her gown for a party dress from Oseree, designed for dancing the night away. The mini dress, adorned with luxurious feathers along the hem and crafted from a golden, sparkling material, added a unique charm to the bride.
Advice from the couple:
• Plan what feels authentic to you, and don’t overthink it. Your wedding day should be about you! Enjoy the day, as it goes by so quickly.
