Real Weddings: Kirsteen and Richard
Barristers Kirsteen and Richard Zimmern wed at the Repulse Bay Hotel in May 2007. “We were looking for something traditional and classic,” says Kirsteen, who walked down the aisle to a string quartet and harpist playing “Ave Maria”. The civil celebrant service was complemented by the exchange of traditional vows, as well as a special set of vows made by Kirsteen to her two young step-children, promising to be a good and loving mother to them. “They cried, I cried, and I think half the guests cried at that point—it was a really special moment,” she says.

Real Weddings: The Red Sole Bride
Here’s a blog that should offer a little wedding inspiration. The Red Sole Bride has set up a site to chronicle her trip to the aisle–in a stunning pair of Louboutin wedding shoes, of course. Get practical ideas and style tips from her virtual mood board. We particularly love the idea of using vintage holga cameras and polaroids to capture the day.
