A sit down chat\u00a0soon led to a beginning of a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Their intimate wedding with 65 guests on June 2, 2013 focused on family and friends and Lahra put her own design skills to work.\u00a0Owner of her business<a title=\"Lala Design\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingInvitations\/Perth\/laladesign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Lala Design<\/a>, she was able to create some unique touches for the day, starting with the invitations. \u201cEach flower on the invite was made by hand, finished with dried dodo vines, then combined with embossed damask paper, layered with colours of nude, aubergine, latte,\u201d Lahra explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA small pocket inside held the RSVP postcard with song request and the gift suggestion.\u201d To top it off they were hand delivered in a scented box!
