The dress One of Renee’s favourite moments was when her mum and dad saw her in her dress for the first time, but finding the perfect gown was a bit of a challenge. “I tried on a lot of ‘big frocks’! It wasn’t until my mum and I went to Sydney, walked into Rachel Gilbert and immediately found ‘The One.’ I wanted my dress to be classic with a fashion edge, and something I would feel like ‘me’ in. The dress didn’t need to be altered and basically sat in my cupboard for six months before the wedding. It was too easy!” Her look was complete with a romantic veil and elegant pearl earrings. Bridal party Paired with nude heels and white rose bouquets, Renee’s bridesmaids looked glamourous in mismatched metallic gowns. “We nearly had a meltdown trying to find four different sequin dresses!” Their beautiful styling was the perfect complement to the groomsmen’s classic black suits and bow ties.
