We got married at Gabbinbar Homestead, a venue that felt like it was made for us. The day was filled with so much love, happiness, and unforgettable memories. We had an incredible team of creatives who helped bring our vision to life—Leah Cruikshank captured our photos, Morgan from Filmed by Bolton handled the videography, Anna Plath from Rural by Anna styled our hair, Chantal Hart did the makeup, and Toowoomba White Weddings created the most stunning styling and florals.
The girls looked confident and beautiful—how did they feel in the Grand Illusion Gown?
They felt as beautiful as they looked. The gown fit them all perfectly and was so comfortable to wear. It was important to me that they loved how they looked and felt confident throughout the day. The Grand Illusion Gown was a piece they could enjoy wearing again, which made it even more special
