We decided to have our wedding at Omahanui for a few reasons. We really liked that it was gorgeous but not too flashy, as we always want to stay grounded and humble. We also loved that it was surrounded by NZ native bush and half of our guests would be from overseas, seeing NZ for the first time. The venue is on the same street that his parents live on, who we lived with for a couple of summers, so we used to drive past it daily and we didn't realise we would be getting married there one day!!
We chose to have Thai for our food because it's my favourite food ever!!!!!! I find traditional food at weddings so boring, so why not have your fave cuisine on your special day, I just had to be VERY careful in white. For lawn drinks canapes we had things like chicken satay sticks, curry puffs and fresh summer rolls. For dinner we had two curries (one was beef penang, my fave), pad thai and an asian slaw. We both aren't fussed on cake or that tradition so we had a friend bake some slices to be put at the back during dancing.
For florals, I wanted mainly oranges and Autumnal colours that suited our palette. We made our own bridesmaids bouquets with Dahlias which are my favourite flowers. Our wedding looked just like our house, I have very consistent taste, haha.
