One of our favourite things ever, is catching up with brides and grooms after their big day and, of course, seeing all the pretty photos!

Earlier this month, we worked with Roxane and Grant to create the perfect garments for their rustic outdoor wedding at Planet Xancara on the West Coast.

Here’s a quick Q&A with Roxane:

Can you share your and Grant's love story with us in three sentences?

A fairytale story:) I feel in love with Grant almost immediately after meeting him. It was effortless and felt so natural. I knew he would be my person and I had never felt that way before:)

Please tell us more about your wedding day! We'd love to hear about your ceremony as well as the venue - it just looked super special. What are some of your favourite memories?

My wedding day was pure magic!

We did a very non-traditional ceremony. It was celebrated over 3 days. Very intimate, with only 35 guests. This is something we have always wanted - we invited only direct family and all our closest friends. We called it a love ceremony - of truth, balance and love. It included the elements - earth, fire, water, air and space and how these relate to creating a bond and life together. It was very emotional, deep and spiritual.

We did welcome drinks and canapés from 1pm at the incredible Planet Xancara main camp - we had gin stations, a photo both, a memory lane photo wall & lots of champagne & fun socializing with all our guests before the ceremony. We then went on a pilgrimage, we walked with music, up to the ceremonial space. The space was nestled under a massive rock face, surrounded by nature.

We had corner to corner rugs with scattered pillows for seating. There was live music playing in the background and the chatter of our guests in awe of this beautiful setting. Seeing this space for the first time was definitely a highlight - it’s was so beautiful and magical. So was seeing how much our guests appreciated it too.

Other highlights include seeing my husband for the first time as I walked toward him wearing my beautiful dress Deeva made. Saying my vows and hearing him say his in return was very special & I will never forget these moments. Doing our joint speech later in the evening was also a highlight. It was also very special to see how touched all our guests were with the love and beauty that surrounded them through our wedding day - it was so evident and powerful.

What advice would you have for any brides-to-be who are in the thick of wedding planning right now?

Relax! Don’t get carried away with silly stresses. Enjoy the process. If you have a planner or someone you trust to take the reins - this is gold!! And most importantly don’t make ANY decisions based on what you think or get told or feel pressurized into doing, but rather on what you and your partner WANT to do. It’s your day and should be done your way.

And now for your dress! What did you love most about it? Can you share a bit about the design process with Deeva? Was it what you always imagined your wedding dress would look like or did the outcome surprise you?

I absolutely loved my dress. It was a dream come true! I loved the colour and the way the silk moved in the wind - I felt so beautiful wearing it. The neckline & dropped back was so perfect. The full flair silk skirt and ring train was perfection. It was comfortable and fit me like a glove!! The craftsmanship was on point! The design process was so fun!

Deeva is such an incredible person - she is so fun and funny, bubbly and positive- exactly the type of person you want around you when you're planning a wedding that could be a bit stressful at times. She always had me at ease and everything ran smoothly and on schedule. We often popped a bottle of bubbles during fittings - such amazing memories.
