Super organised bride Samantha loved planning her elegant classic wedding to Todd.<\/p>\n
” It was really nice to have a fianc\u00e9 who was happy to help me with parts of the planning,” Samantha, 32, says.<\/p>\n
The Wollongong couple made the most of their beautiful coastal location for the May 4, 2018 celebrations.<\/p>\n
Samantha and Todd, 34, opted to keep their big day classic.<\/p>\n
“I wanted our wedding to be something that didn\u2019t date in the photos. I would call my theme classic. Nothing too over-the-top. I used white on white with a touch of green,” Samantha says.<\/p>\n
The couple wed in a outdoor ceremony overlooking the beach at\u00a0Tuckermann Park, Austinmer in front of 120 family and friends.<\/p>\n
The reception was held nearby at Headlands, Austinmer Beach<\/a>, where Samantha used rose gold highlights and touches of green in the centrepieces and name place cards.<\/p>\n “I feel like our wedding had the perfect balance on tears, laughter, joy and excitement,” the bride says.<\/p>\n “The ceremony was very sweet and sentimental and our receptions was a really good party! The food was exceptional, the vibe was happy, we were totally in love… We pulled it off!”<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of My Little Love<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beautiful bride Samantha had a little help from Nicole McCann Make-up<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The couple met on a skiing trip in 2014, so it was fitting that Todd popped the question while the couple were on the skifields in the US.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Todd and his groomsmen dressed in classic grey three-piece suits from Ferrari Formalwear<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “My beautiful bridesmaids wore navy blue velvet.
