Um casamento tradicional, uma festa modernaça: Liana + James.

We had our bridal table in the middle of the room with lots of guests besides our bridal party. We had a pink champagne tower instead of a cake, and our first dance, which was to Drake’s ‘One Dance’, wasn’t just the two of us, it was everybody on the dance floor together. The greatest thing we did was to hand over the styling and most of the finer details to specialists. We hired an incredible mix of people based on their aesthetic and had no input on the finer details and honestly, everything went to plan! And anyway, if something did go wrong, we didn’t know about it, so we were truly relaxed on the day.

My dress was by Lover but I had sleeves added to it from a second dress and we used the excess fabric for the flower girls’ outfits. It ended up being exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding gown, despite having to buy two dresses, and my little flower girls looked pretty much perfect. Jamie and I dated for eight months and then were engaged for eight months before we married. We met at university and were part of a larger group of friends but it wasn’t until we really connected one night at a friend’s birthday that we started dating.

Jamie is calm and I am a bulldozer but we have amazing communication and are friends first over anything else so it just works. Although we are both creatives and appreciate the same things, it’s our opposing traits of calmness versus strong will that make us a great partnership.

Being married is more than just being together, it’s sharing everything and communicating everything. We are basically one entity now and that is a wonderful feeling.
