My name is Paris-Rose, and on September 6, 2024, I married my best friend, Ty, after nearly 12 years together. We celebrated our love at the breathtaking Redleaf property in the Hunter Valley, inspired by the charm of Tuscany—it was truly the most magical weekend! A little about us: we both work in the construction industry and are based on the Gold Coast, where we grew up. Funnily enough, Ty was my brother’s best friend (who would’ve guessed, right?). We also have a fur baby, Juni, who completes our little family. Here’s a fun fact: my best friend Sam and I are engaged/married to brothers! We all work together within Unique Built, which makes for a fun, family-like work environment that’s never boring.

When I look back on the day now, I feel so happy and grateful! It was truly the wedding of our dreams, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Looking at photos puts us right back in the state we were at the time and you can't help but smile. The memories and moments will stay with us forever, it was beautiful. 

My advice to new brides sounds so cliche but I think it's so important, and that is to try not to get overwhelmed during the planning process—ENJOY YOUR BRIDAL ERA! It's such a special time in your lives and to be present. So many people told me to slow down and take it all in because it goes by so quickly—and they were absolutely right! I'd also say - don't overthink the 'stuff'. Don't get me wrong, the wedding itself was beautiful and what we'd dreamed of (The dress, the suits, the styling, the venue etc), but it was actually the people, the energy and all the special magical moments that made it perfect.

My bridesmaids and I began the morning in the beautiful Eva Lounge Pyjama Set, the perfect blend of comfort and elegance. We then slipped into the stunning Helena robes, which were simply perfect. I wanted to give them something special that they could keep and wear again, along with a personalised letter handkerchief. It truly was the most fun and meaningful morning with my girls.
