Relationships Talk

When real bride Coralie tied the knot with Sam, her boyfriend of six years, it was in two parts. The first, a registry signing ceremony in London with a few close friends and the second, a low-key reception weeks later at Marybank, a boutique wedding venue in the Adelaide Hills.

This unconventional approach—separated by a four-week honeymoon—was reflected in Coralie’s choice of wedding attire: a stunningly simple skirt-and-top pairing from Lola Varma Bridal, that worked just as well on the streets of London as it did in sunny Adelaide.

Below, Coralie tells BAZAAR Bride about her relaxed planning process, her dream photographer and her and Sam’s impromptu first dance.
