Did you sit down for a formal dinner or party the night away with canapés and cocktails?
We had cocktails and canapés followed by a buffet dinner later on.  The food was absolutely delicious!

Did you have a special song to walk down the aisle to?  
We ended up with a very special song, but only choose it a few days before the wedding.   Despite my initial “no Ed Sheeran songs” demands from the start, I actually ended up walking down the aisle to his duet of Perfect with Andrea Boccelli – it was perfect for us as this version is half in English and half in Italian, and its actually a beautiful song, by two amazing voices!  Glad we changed our mind at the last minute

What was the most challenging aspect about planning a destination wedding?
Getting people to respond to the invite was frustrating! But to help organize family and friends arriving who had never been to Bali before was probably the most challenging part, and having to accept the fact that a lot of people dear to us wouldn’t be able to make it.  However in terms of the actual planning – with Jess on our team, I was literally not once worried about one single aspect of the ceremony or the day. And I had no reason to be – it was flawless

Talk to us about your hair and make up. Who was your muse?
I had the wonderful and gorgeous Metri Make Over.  What an absolutely gorgeous soul, who really made me feel and look beautiful and special.  We had such a fun time getting hair and make up done by Metri and his lovely team. I don’t normally wear much make up so just wanted to keep a very simple and natural look with both the hair and make up, and I was really happy with the way it turned out.

Tell us about your D R E S S ?
In total I tried on only 3 dresses, all in the same night at a trunk show in Sydney with two of my girl friends.  The designer is Nurit Hen, an Israeli designer whos dresses I’d admired for a while. I tried on the dress once, My measurements were taken that evening and that was the one and only time until the dress was custom made for me and shipped form Israel 6 weeks before the wedding date!  Amazingly it fitted perfectly only needing a few cm off the length. I actually bought the dress before we had even decided that Bali was our destination! It worked out to be a good choice though, and I absolutely loved wearing it. (it’s for sale now on stillwhite.com!!!!)

What was THE most memorable part of your big day?
The whole day was memorable and I loved every minute, but it was just really special to have all my family and close friends together having lots of fun and laughs.  It’s the first time we have all been together in so many years so it was pretty special, it was also the first time they had been to Bali and they loved it!

If there was one piece of advice you could give a Bali bride planning their big day, what would it be?
Firstly….Get in touch with Jess @ Q Events!

And most importantly, don’t let anyone define how your day will be, its about you and your future husband so do things your way, don’t try  to please anyone and definitely not everyone! Enjoy it, and smile even when you think nobody is looking!!!
