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

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

“My beautiful bridesmaids wore navy blue velvet. I had one goal when getting their dress: it had to be navy, and they had to be happy with it,” Samantha says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
