Simone and Luke know what’s up! Together for seven years, these two chose to get hitched at the stunning Orpheus Island Lodge off the coast of Queensland with 26 of their favourite people in tow. Three-day destination wedding on a private island? Sign us up! Their definition of marriage is just as good – “an epic party with special people, and a cute excuse to celebrate love.”
There to catch the memories was our gal Janneke Storm, and we can’t wait for you to see all the glorious snaps below…
THE PROPOSAL “Luke had a big vision to ask me at Burning Man one sunrise, but got a little scared so ended up asking me in Lake Tahoe on the pebble beach by the lake
THE INSPO “Nature and sunsets for the wedding day and wigs and costumes for the after party. The next day afterparty had lots of crazy dress-ups – very silly, very fun and very outrageous.”
THE DRESS “Christie Nicole she designed it custom for me, taking a few of her dresses and meshing them to suit me, she was the first and only designer I looked at and she was epic.”
STANDOUT VENDORS “All of the vendors were so wonderful, every single vone put in such an amazing effort and gave 110% in everything they did. Special mention to DJ Camila Rosa – it was like we had met before.”
FAVE DETAILS “The flowers from Townsville Flower Market were very special, such beautiful colouring and majestic flower choices. I truly loved the cake from Paper & Strings too – it was special.”
A WORD OF ADVICE “Have fun and only invite ride-or-die friends.”
WE’RE GLAD WE… “Had a three-day extravaganza. It was truly special and outstanding – on the wedding morning the girls did a sunrise hike listening to trees and watching birds followed by a womens’ circle cacao ceremony and the boys went fishing on the Great Barrier Reef.”
