real weddings

Real Weddings can offer more than just Pin-worthy inspiration: sometimes, there are valuable lessons in the story behind a celebration that appears picture-perfect. Take for example, Kirby and Jonathan’s elegant farmhouse wedding near Melbourne, Australia. You would never guess from Kirby’s bright smile (and dry eyes!) that she experienced every bride’s nightmare: on the morning of her wedding, the zipper on her stunning gown broke. Gasp! Rather than having a meltdown, this gorgeous bride stayed cool, calm and collected. Luckily, Kirby’s resourceful bridesmaids repaired the zipper, just in time for her to meet her prince. Kirby and Jonathan created a romantic celebration, complete with a candlelight barn ceremony, a live band and two vintage Jaguar cars.
