Wedding in Fiji Islands

How I met my man…

We met in high school, and from then on we knew we would be together forever.

Then, he proposed…

He surprised me with a trip to the Fiji Islands for my birthday and also popped the question. It was such a beautiful place that we thought it would be perfect to come back with close family and friends and get married there.

We got married on our 8th anniversary, in the Fiji Islands!

If I had to choose one favorite moment!

From start to finish, the whole day and night were unforgettable.

We had a personal wedding coordinator who took care of everything, so neither the bride nor groom had to do a thing. The day ran so smoothly and was everything we had dreamed of—and more!

I definitely recommend a destination wedding!

Oh, my wedding dress!

If it wasn’t for Sophie, the owner of Zolotas Australia, pulling the dress off the rack and getting me to try it on, I don’t know if I would have even gotten married in Fiji!

The moment the dress was zipped up and I stepped out of the fitting room, I was IN LOVE! I knew this dress was made for Fiji, and I went to the travel agent the week after and booked our Fiji wedding.

A couple of months later, we went to try the dress on again. I still hadn’t changed my mind or had any doubt that there was anything better. I was still so in love with it and hadn’t seen anything like it since first trying it on. Sophie was so wonderful, and the afternoon was just beautiful.

Sophie also recommended a fantastic alterations lady who knew exactly how to work with the delicate fabric, so I was very happy to be in such good hands.
Overall, the Zolotas experience was amazing. My granny has made every one of my special dresses over the years, and since she couldn’t be here with me for this one, I know she would have been so happy that I chose a one-of-a-kind handmade dress—just like she would have made for me.
