ELLE + CARINA
Avalon Coastal Retreat, Rocky Hills Tasmania
“It’s not often that you meet two people and feel calm, accepted and instantly connected to them. For us that is exactly how we felt as soon as we met Bek and Paul.
We met Bek and Paul after a surprise proposal that saw us engaged. They had styled an intimate space to perfection. A stunning winter rose installation hung above a huon pine bath, which was slowly being filled as steam rose up into the cool winters air. Champagne was chilling, the wood fire was burning and soft golden light streamed through the trees… the scene was set and moments later we were engaged.
We had never considered getting married in Tasmania as we live 1688km away however, after meeting Bek and Paul we decided that the perfect place to be marred would be Tasmania and the perfect people to create the day were Bek and Paul. We both knew that if we in their hands our wedding day would be something magical.
From that moment on every phone call and email was an absolute pleasure. Bek and Paul ooze professionalism, attention to detail and have a warmth that made two brides feel at ease throughout the entire process. We trusted them implicitly.
The day of our wedding is still something that we both cannot talk about without getting emotional. It was flawlessly beautiful. From the moment Bek and Paul arrived they did not stop working all the while getting to know our families and constantly checking in with us to make sure we both had everything we needed. Everything, from the stunning hand written calligraphy in the menus to the incredible intricacy of the floral installation that all our guests were in awe of was done to perfection. The personal touches that were made by Bek were incredible. Bek personally sourced vintage furs for all our female guests to ensure they didn’t feel the chill of the coastal breeze. She used her personal shell, sea glass and driftwood collection for our tables. Every personal detail only added to the intimacy and magic of the day.
It is hard to put in words the beauty that Bek and Paul created for us. We feel so lucky to have found them, and to now call them our friends. Tasmania holds such a special place in our hearts and Bek and Paul are now apart of that. We are forever thankful to them. We cannot wait to see all the magical weddings they create in the future.”
