  1. Simply stunning, Katrina! What a delightful thing to read on this late Friday night. I had checked your Facebook page *just in case* you had a new post up, and sure enough, there was the link to this article! Thank you for sharing so many details of your special day…looking forward to hearing all about the rest of it! I’m sure it was a grand and glorious occasion. :)How special that you were able to work in all the details you had long hoped for. Best wishes as you start your marriage!

    1. Sarah A, you are so sweet! 🙂 Thank you so much for the kind words, and the pictures of the wedding turned out even better than I had hoped for! You’ll definitely want to read the next few upcoming blog posts!

  2. It is good you had ideas of what you wanted for your wedding. My daughter and I had a scrapbook where we placed pictures of wedding ideas and it helped a lot when the time actually came.

    1. Too neat, Lydia! I did the same thing, but on Pinterest instead. 🙂 In fact, I had several thousand wedding pins on Pinterest!

  3. Ahh, I loved getting to see all of these details from your wedding Katrina! I loved seeing your Instagram posts as you went through the process, and I know the event must have been the epitome of elegance!
    I remember adoring the pictures of Princess Diana’s wedding as a little girl. I was actually in London the week before William and Kate’s wedding, and saw press boxes being built and workers scrubbing the floor of Westminster! I was even staying at the Goring hotel only to find out that was where Kate would be staying the next week! The doorman asked my friend and I if we were staying for the wedding. 😉 We ended up seeing the same doorman when Kate exited the hotel on television! Anyway, sorry for rambling, and congratulations on your marriage!! 🙂

    1. Lauren, that is incredible! What neat memories you must have had as you watched the Royal Wedding on television and remembered being in that very place. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your memories!

  4. How absolutely gorgeous Katrina. Can’t wait to see your next blog. It will be a truly royal event! All the best from NZ, your P&P tour buddy Kattrina xxx

    1. Thank you so much, Kattrina Green! I can hardly wait to share all the pictures!

  5. Hi Katrina. I rejoice for you in your happiness, and I’m loving hearing/seeing all the details.

    Question: how did your dad “make” the tea trays?

    1. Hi Narelle! My dad used his drill, lots of plates we purchased, and had to experiment with a lot of supplies from the hardware shop to get it to work! It was quite an undertaking, but he did a fabulous job.

  6. Thank you for sharing with us! It’s all so very beautiful and romantic.

  7. Awww, how lovely & elegant, Katrina. That venue is stunning – so glad you could find the perfect location. Everything looks so classy! (I realized our wedding colors were quite similar! Mine were the cooler version of yours — pale pink, ivory, & silver/grey.) 🙂

    1. Laura, thank you so very much! And I am glad to hear you think it looks classy! I tried to find a balance between too frilly and too understated… And your wedding colors sound lovely!

  8. Lovely! I can’t wait to see how your wedding turns out to be- an embodiment of your tastes and glorifying to our Father! I did have to chuckle, because at my wedding 3 weeks ago I wore a brown and cream dress and me and all the bridesmaids went barefoot. My groom and his men wore blue jeans and not only did we have burlap on every table, it was draped as bunting along the sanctuary (reception area’s) walls! I grew my own sunflowers, wild flowers and zinnias and we wrapped mason jars in burlap and lace and filled each table with jars. Sunflowers were in vases outside as we got married under and arbor behind the church just before sunset. I love that weddings can reflect the taste and interests of each couple!

    1. Thank you, Savannah! Yes, weddings really vary so much, don’t they? I really miss how elegant a lot of weddings used to be when I was little, as our society as a whole has grown so casual. But it is neat that everyone can have their weddings be however they wish!

  9. I just wanted to say that you had my dream childhood wedding. Victorian, peach roses, everything I dreamed about (right down to the photo where you and your bridesmaids look like you are on the set of “Anne of Green Gables). My own wedding was rather rushed, with my dress only finished at 1am! It was an elopement after 5 weeks, complete with registry office and a rather shocked mother, but it was perfect at the time. We’ve been married almost 9 years now, with two beautiful children, and I wish you as much happiness as we have.

    Maybe we could renew our vows in a Victorian ceremony… 🙂

    1. Hi Andrea!

      Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I have known lots of ladies who did vow renewals and made wedding dresses all over again, so you totally should! 🙂

      Thank you again,
      Katrina 🙂
