Stradbroke Island winter wedding with whale watching and wallabies

Winter wedding, whale watching, and wallabies

Paul always dreamed of marrying on North Stradbroke Island, so when he proposed to Rhiannan, the couple contacted the team at Elope Stradbroke to make their dreams come true.
Rhiannan and Paul decided on a simple wedding, with a purple theme, and chose the Simply Elope package which includes celebrant and photographer.
On their wedding day, a sunny Winter afternoon, we watched whales frolicking just off shore. The couple chose a secluded beach to make their vows to each other, surrounded by just immediate family and Paul's best mate.



Rhiannan looked stunning in an ivory boho gown from Tree of Life. She wore a hand made flower crown, and carried a bouquet of dried flowers, both featuring purples and mauves. Paul wore a purple shirt, as did his best man and also the father of the bride.
The bride’s heirloom veil was worn by her mother, and two of her sisters, and it fluttered in the ocean breeze. What a sweet way to include “something borrowed”!




After the short and sweet ceremony, the couple were showered in purple Hydrangea petals. The group then enjoyed shots of Vodka in pewter shot glasses engraved with the couples’ names.
Photographer, Romana, led the couple to some of the most scenic lookouts on Straddie for some timeless wedding photos, where they were thrilled to be photobombed by wallabies.

Rhiannan wrote, “Where can I even begin?!? We could not recommend Cheryl enough. She made the elopement process so easy and stress free. From initial contact she gets the ball rolling in the right direction, and was such a delight to deal with all the way through. When she already knew of the song that Paul and I first started bonding over, Jimmy Recard by Drapht, we knew we had the perfect celebrant for our special day. Thank you so much Cheryl for letting us do our elopement our way, and helping us create a magical day we will never forget.”
