Weddings

  Hosting a wedding in the country can seem out of place for a couple whose love has matured in amongst the throng of restaurants, cafes, inner city art galleries and urban streets. Perhaps a downtown setting is more appropriate, something with less fluff and more edge. More industrial elegance. For this you'll need the perfect hideaway. A roof top...

Extraordinary is the only word to sufficiently describe a place like Huka Lodge. Located in the heart of Taupo on the banks of the Waikato River, it is the grande dame of luxury lodges, positioned on 17-acres of peace and quiet that astounds every guest, no matter their pedigree. It comes as no surprise that a wedding held here would...

  You can almost spot a beach bride-to-be. They'll be partial to honey locks and bronzed feet - no matter the season. They'll crave the salted air if they spend too much time away from the coast, and their groom won't deem the wedding feast complete without seafood freshly snagged from the sea. If a slight Pacific breeze, Hamptons-style beach...

                For the modern, free-spirited man and woman, a bohemian wedding, in all its ethereal mystique, is a desirable theme for the big day.

The family-run Waiheke vineyard, Poderi Crisci, was blessed with powdered blue skies and sunshine on the day of Carla and Nick's quintessential New Zealand wedding.  The epitome of sophistication, the wedding was peppered with plenty of those endearing eccentricities that make a wedding truly memorable. Grapevines, lavender fields and manicured gardens served as the backdrop for the ceremony. Afterwards, cocktails...

   First and foremost a lover of flowers, Lucy Houghton's beautiful floral arrangements were born out of a simple love of mother nature, her fresh, self taught style appealing to those searching for something a little less rigid for their wedding day. As the woman behind Lu Diamond Flowers, Lucy is fuelled by a never ending rainbow of inspiration outside...

  For about three years in a row, my summers were consumed with attending weddings. My boss at the time even started calling me Katherine after Katherine Heigl in the movie '27 Dresses', as nearly every weekend I would be off to yet another wedding...which yes, you guessed it, required yet another dress! I was also a bridesmaid four times...
