Homebodii Bride of the Month: Natalie Lunken

A love story strengthened by adventure, a wedding day filled with intentional beauty, and cherished moments wrapped in elegance. Natalie shares the magic of her special day, from finding the dress to the heartfelt surprises that made it unforgettable.

We knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together when...

We moved to the other side of the world and navigated the challenges and excitement of starting fresh in a new place. Through every experience, big or small, we grew stronger as a couple.

Our approach to planning the wedding was…

To focus on what truly mattered to us as a couple, keeping it elegant, intentional, and stress-free (as much as possible).

My wedding dress journey felt like…

A complete dream. Growing up, I always had a clear vision of what I imagined myself wearing on my wedding day. I went to a few bridal stores with my family, and while they teared up at almost every dress I tried on, nothing felt quite right. The following week, I decided to browse online at KYHA and there it was - the one. The next day, I went to try it on by myself because I didn’t want anyone’s opinions to sway me. I had always dreamed of wearing a classic, fitted lace dress, and when I tried it on, I just knew it was exactly what I had been envisioning all along.

Looking back on the day we are so glad that we…

Got a content creator instead of a videographer. It allowed us to relive the little moments instantly and in a more natural, candid way.

The styling details that I loved were…

Fewer flowers and more candles on the tables. They created such a romantic and intimate ambiance.

The most unexpected part of the day was...

My husband’s cousins performing a traditional dance for us. It was such a beautiful and emotional surprise!

My inspiration for my hair and make up…

Was Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber - soft, effortless, and timeless.

When I look back on the day now I feel….

So incredibly grateful and blessed. It was everything we dreamed of and more.

The stand out vendors were…

My incredible photographer, Tom Hollow, and our content creator. They worked so well together and captured the day in the most magical way.

We were so happy we chose the venue because..

The views were absolutely breathtaking, making every moment feel even more special.

A word of advice to new brides would be…

Don’t stress over the little details - no one will notice if something doesn’t go exactly as planned.

My Homebodii moment was special because…

Getting ready in something beautiful and comfortable with my bridesmaids made those first moments of the day even more special. The robes & PJs were mysomething blue, adding a subtle yet meaningful touch to the morning.
