PHOTOGRAPHER
Our photographer is a good friend of ours John Clare, he is only charging us $600 for 200 photo's and that includes, a couple of big one's!! So we think we've got a pretty good deal! He is also our MC.
HONEYMOON
Our honeymoon is at the Sea World Nara Resort at the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Strawberries and champagne to begin with and then... there's non stop excitement hidden within the internationally renowned Sea World Nara Resort.
The hotel boasts a spectacular calm water beach location and is only a stone's throw away from the fabulous Gold Coast surf beaches.
There's so much to enjoy, so much to do. Feast on the finest fare at The Melrose, an exciting culinary experience that blends the flavours of New Orleans, the Mediterranean and Asia, creating a unique taste sensation.
The resort is linked by monorail to Australia's spectacular marine theme park, Sea World. Your package includes a one day visit to both Sea World and Warner Bros, Movie World.
Five night's accomodation in a Run of House Room.
Limousine transfer from Coolangatta Airport to Sea World Nara Resort and return.
Chilled champagne and bowl of strawberries delivered to your room after your arrival.
Full buffet breakfast in the Shoreline Restaurant each morning
One day entry to Sea World
One day entry to Warner Bros Movie World
A three-course dinner for two at The Melrose Restaurant on one evening.
RECEPTION
The reception is being held at the International Club in Atherton.
It will consist of a 3 course buffet dinner and drinks over the bar, that is all I know so far, will know more closer to the wedding!
MUSIC
We have booked a band called Identity Crisis, to play at the wedding, they are really good and play a whole range of music. They cost $600, so it was pretty cheap too.
WEDDING CAKE
One of my bridesmaids Denise Moss, is doing the cake, we haven't decided on a style yet but do know we are having Mud Cake. Gary and I both dislike Fruit Cake.
We are having red and champagne roses as our theme. I am having a teardrop bouquet with a detachable bottom to throw. The bridesmaids are only carrying a small posy of red and champagne roses with a big gold bow. My daughter Savannah the flower girl is carrying a basket similar to the brides bouquet.
HAIRDRESSER, MAKEUP ETC
A good friend Maria Pavlov is doing my hair, she is actually getting married the week before me and is delaying her honeymoon a week, so she can do my hair and attend the wedding. My makeup is getting done by another friend who does Nutri-Metics, Pam Spry and yet another friend is doing my nails and other bits, Amanda Ford from Clarins.
Anyway that is all for now, when I have pics and more info I will post it here and of course after the 31st I will have all the wedding photo's up as well. Wish me luck and visit often to see what's happening!
