Alex + Braedan

18.02.2022

Alex and Braedan knew that when it came to their wedding, the most important thing for them was to be surrounded by all the people they love and care about most. To make this happen, they opted for a casual, cocktail style dining experience that would be enjoyable for all. This allowed them to keep the planning stress-free, whilst creating an incredible day, making memories with their family and friends that will last a lifetime.

When speaking about weddings with others, they were amazed to hear how stressful other weddings can be, and were happy to share with us exactly who their A-Team secret weapons were to make theirs such a breeze!

“When we talk to others about weddings, they can’t believe ours was so stress free. We absolutely thank our vendors for this, and recommended them to everyone we speak to! At the end of the day we felt it all came together perfectly and represented everything we love – community and family.”

How did they meet?

Our couple met through the most modern of romances – Tinder! After an ice cream date to kick things off, Alex and Braedan have been inseparable since!

They celebrated their five year anniversary by getting married, celebrating the incredible memories already made and, creating more moments they’ll will never forget.

The proposal story.

A trip day they’ll never forget, Alex recalls:

“We were on a holiday in NSW visiting family over the Christmas/NY break and had decided to go on a hike and set up a picnic at the lookout. It was beautiful and private, with the most amazing view.

Dan Andrew’s then announced that the border would be closing at midnight, so we had to quickly pack up and drive 11 hours back to Victoria to celebrate with family before we were locked out!”

Fav part of the day?

For Alex + Braedan, dancing with their family and friends at the end of the night was easily their favourite memory to look back on, that they’ll cherish forever. We can’t think of a better way to end such a wonderful day.

For couples planning their own wedding, make sure you allocate some time to enjoy the moments with your loved ones on the dance floor!

Advice for couples planning their wedding.

“Your wedding day shouldn’t be stressful! It’s important to focus on the big picture and not sweat the small stuff. Prioritize spending time with those you love and who love you and focus on creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Instead of stressing about every little detail, delegate tasks to people you trust- The small things will be forgotten but the memories with those around you will be what you hold onto.”
