a Hindu ceremony to honour and incorporate aspects of their cultures. While our blog will focus primarily on their civil ceremony, the photos beautifully capture the couple embracing every moment and truly enjoying their day.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Sruthi looked radiant in <a href="https://www.astrabridal.co.nz/forget-me-knot-princeton2.html" target="_blank">Princeton</a> by <a href="https://www.astrabridal.co.nz/forget-me-knot-bare/" target="_blank">Forget Me Knot</a>, a classic A-line gown featuring a V-neck bodice and a flattering wide waistband. The delicate buttons running down to the bottom of the train add a lovely touch, and the addition of pockets makes it even more special. Sruthi also personalised her gown by switching the fabric to taffeta, making it uniquely hers. She completed her bridal look with our <a href="https://www.astrabridal.co.nz/harriet-veil-120.html" target="_blank">Harriet veil</a>, adding a touch of shimmer to her outfit.</p><p style="text-align: center;">We hope you enjoy browsing their photos and reading about their wedding day as much as we did!

Getting hung up on the small things can stop you from enjoying and feeling the big things as wholly as you can, and those bigger, special moments are really what you will remember the most. If things go wrong, laugh it off as best as you can—it will all become a part of your special story.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong></strong></p> [field] => 6 [settings] => Array ( ) ) [30]

Wedding at Bracu Estate Delightful Wedding at Bracu Estate Sruthi and Jason celebrated their love surrounded by family and friends on two special days, holding both a civil and a Hindu ceremony to honour and incorporate aspects of their cultures. While our blog will focus primarily on their civil ceremony, the photos beautifully capture the couple embracing every moment and truly enjoying their day.Sruthi looked radiant in Princeton by Forget Me Knot, a classic A-line gown featuring a V-neck bodice and a flattering wide waistband. The delicate buttons running down to the bottom of the train add a lovely touch, and the addition of pockets makes it even more special. Sruthi also personalised her gown by switching the fabric to taffeta, making it uniquely hers. She completed her bridal look with our Harriet veil, adding a touch of shimmer to her outfit.We hope you enjoy browsing their photos and reading about their wedding day as much as we did! Congratulations to the happy couple! What was it that made this particular wedding dress catch your eye and fall in love?I liked how my dress was simple yet classic. It cinched at the waist and had side cut-outs, which provided structure and shape while still being flowy from the waist down. I also loved that it was part of the Forget Me Knot collection, which meant it was designed in NZ by the Astra Bridal team. Because of this, it was more affordable, and I was able to make changes to my dress that I wouldn’t have been able to with other brands, such as modifying the material it was made from.Tell us about your search for the dress and the experience at Astra Bridal.I absolutely loved my experience at Astra Bridal. I was looked after by Courtney, and she was just incredible. The first dress she picked out for me was very similar to the gowns on my wishlist, and it ended up being the one I chose. I was a little nervous going into the appointment, but Courtney and the team were so friendly. They immediately put me at ease and made me feel super comfortable throughout the whole process. Tell us your story, how you both met, and the proposal.Jason and I met through some mutual friends that we both worked with. We were just friends, but after a fateful house party and the text messages that followed, we decided to catch up for lunch. We both felt something very special between us, and five days later, we were in a relationship.Two years later, I signed up to do a 10km race in Taupo with one of my closest friends. Jason came along as our support crew. Taupo has always been a special place for Jason and me—its where we spent our one-year anniversary and is somewhere we frequently go to get away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland. Jason proposed the afternoon after the race on a hill in our favourite spot in Taupo, with the sun setting behind us and a beautiful view of the lake. It was so meaningful and perfect. What was your favourite part of the day?It’s so hard to choose just one part! After the ceremony and canapés, Jason and I got to sneak away for some sunset photos. It was really nice to step away and have some quiet time together so we could reflect and take a breather. I also really loved getting to spend time with my loved ones and having a boogie with everyone after dinner, thanks to the amazing band we had (Mischief Band NZ).This was similar to my favourite part of our Hindu wedding day. After the ceremony, the two of us stepped outside to take some photos in the beautiful garden outside the temple. That one-on-one time we had to chat, laugh, and reflect on the fact that we were married was truly special. Tell us about your wedding day as a whole.Our Hindu and civil ceremonies were both held in the first week of September, so we were quite unsure of what the weather would do. We got really lucky on both days, with the sun coming out when we were outside and the rain coming down when we had all made it inside.The vibe on the morning of both days was very calm, which helped me stay relaxed and be present. I loved getting ready with my bridesmaids at Bracu and had the best glam team, who radiated the most upbeat, positive energy.The ceremonies were so special and meaningful in different ways on both days, and we felt blessed that we were able to honor our Sri Lankan, Indian, and Kiwi roots.Our reception at Bracu felt like a big party and a moment where we could sit back, spend time with our guests, and boogie our hearts out on the dance floor.As a whole, both our wedding days felt really meaningful, emotional, and so full of love. Having an amazing group of vendors, family, and friends around us truly made such a positive difference throughout the week. Finally, what is your biggest piece of advice for brides to be?Try to be as present as you can throughout the day. It will absolutely fly by, and you won’t be able to relive it the same way! One of my loved ones told me that being present in each moment will make the day feel longer, and I thought that was such good advice.Try to be okay with things not going perfectly. Chances are, there will be things that don’t go to plan, and that’s okay! Getting hung up on the small things can stop you from enjoying and feeling the big things as wholly as you can, and those bigger, special moments are really what you will remember the most. If things go wrong, laugh it off as best as you can—it will all become a part of your special story.

Photos from the day capture the happy couple, full of smiles and celebrating their big day.Breila looked stunning in Selena by Maggie Sottero, a classic satin A-line gown with a scoop neckline and covered buttons trailing down to the train. This gown gives such a timeless look and flattering silhouette. She completed her bridal look with our Hendrix veil, a glitter tulle veil that adds just the right touch of shimmer.We hope you enjoy scrolling through their special day and gain some insight from Breila about her experience with us at Astra Bridal and the process of finding her perfect wedding dress. What was it that made this particular wedding dress catch your eye and fall in love?I knew I wanted something with straps—something that I could throw on and not have to worry about. A dress that I would feel good in from every angle, and we found it.The dress I actually ended up choosing was put on just as a test to see if the neckline worked for me. It ended up fitting like an absolute glove; it hit me in all the right places and just looked amazing straight off the rack.I didnt have the OMG, this is the dress moment. It was more of a There isnt going to be another one as good as this moment. We just kept going back to that same dress. At the end of the day, after another appointment we had that day, I called and placed the order.Tell us about your search for the dress and the experience at Astra Bridal.The team was so inviting and just as excited as we were about dress shopping. They provided us with everything we could have needed, and the Wellington studio is so calm and comforting that it made the experience truly pleasant.The dress search was so easy with Astra. I know my body shape quite well and knew exactly what I wanted. The amazing Lisa in Wellington picked a couple of dresses that I had put on my wish list, along with some she thought would work. Every dress fit, which was actually amazing—I thought I would have to do some imagining, but that wasn’t needed at all. It was never a battle of what looked good; it was just a matter of which one I liked best in the end. Tell us your story, how you both met, and the proposal.We actually met online and were just friends for a while. Sam worked on a site across the road from my office, so we would grab coffee when he was on smoko almost every day. We both moved from our current work sites around the same time, so we started catching up after work instead. We kept it casual for the first few months, then it just developed into what it is now, and we caught feelings (for lack of a better phrase).Our proposal was completely us but fancy. We had planned a staycation for my birthday at the QT Hotel in Wellington, so we headed in and were getting ready to go to Logan Brown for dinner. He asked me if I wanted my present now or later, and of course, I wanted it now and not later. We kind of have a thing with surprises where we sometimes ask for a clue. So when I was told to close my eyes, I asked for a clue, and Sam replied with, What do you always ask for? I said, A puppy! (I usually say a puppy or a ring, but I didn’t want to put the pressure on.) Alas, when I opened my eyes, Sam was on one knee with the most stunning ring I could have dreamed of.After a few phone calls and squeals with my aunties, we went to dinner. I had actually asked one of my girlfriends to drop us off at the hotel earlier so I could see her, but she had said she was going out with flatmates. We walked around the corner at Logan Brown, and both my best friends were tucked into a booth as the best birthday/engagement surprise! What was your favourite part of the day?I think there were two parts that were my personal favourites.1. Hearing all our guests giggle at our beer boys. Instead of flower girls, two of our mates wore beer belts and walked down the aisle handing out beers to SexyBack by Justin Timberlake. The only downside was that I was so excited for it, completely not realising during the planning that I would be behind the fence and unable to see it.2. During the downtime at dinner, before the kai and between speeches, our DJ put on some classics, and everyone just started to sing along and dance. It was such a wholesome, fun time that everyone got to be a part of. Tell us about your wedding day as a whole.The day couldn’t have gone better if we’d dreamed of it.It was a beautiful day, with a slight wind, which was a blessing so no one melted in the Martinborough heat. I had planned and worked with Courtney, so everything just flowed. The reception was set up the day prior, and Sam was setting up our altar space in the morning.The night before, we had a girls night with my aunties and cousins, so our hearts were so full. Having ended the night on such a wholesome note, the next morning just flowed with the same vibes. Us girls all jumped into one bed to start the day and just eased into it all—showers, kai, and coffee delivery with giggles and cuddles.Hair and makeup were sorted, mimosas were flowing, flowers were arriving, and everything was just working. The boys were cruising through their morning with ironing shirts and figuring out the best way to pin on the boutonnieres since their shirts were so light.When it was time, we drove over to the ceremony, and to be honest, it couldn’t have gone better. It was a blast of colours, dancing, and laughs. So many family members from across the world and friends from different walks of life all coming together. We felt so lucky and had the best time.The reception went until 12, and after that, we gathered the cake and late-night snacks and went to the cottages to keep the party going. Finally, what is your biggest piece of advice for brides to be?As stressful as planning a wedding can be, my biggest piece of advice would be to plan everything you feel you need to. If you know how everything is going to happen and your vendors are on the same page, you can fully relax and enjoy the day. Sam and I got to be fully involved in every moment.
