A Wedding at Princess Gate

Sheree had a great wedding theme; classic, 1930s ish, styling with a bit of Sheree taste tossed in.  Her bridesmaid wore teal green and Sheree wore a champagne coloured wedding dress with a stunning long veil.

This is a photo with her bridesmaid (sister) and her Mother holding her veil, and Grandmother holding her bouquet.




Her reception tables were in the same teal colourings with picture cards of 1930s women with quotes.




Here are the quotes:


Love is like Magic

And it always will be,

For love still remains

Life's sweet mystery.




Love is unselfish

Understanding and kind

For it sees with its heart

And not with its mind.




Love works in ways

That are Wondrous and strange

And there's nothing in life

That love cannot change




Love is the answer

That everyone seeks

Love is the language

That every heart speaks




Love can Transform

That most common place

Into beauty and splendour

And sweetness and grace




Love can't be bought

It is priceless and free

Love, like pure magic

It's a sweet mystery







Sheree got ready at the Princess Gate Hotel which was also the Reception venue.  The Princess Gate Hotel is really classic looking and really suited the whole wedding theme.  From her room window you could see the Wedding ceremony set up and guests arriving at the Government Gardens Rotunda.

As Wayne & Sheree are from Aussie, we had to get some photos of Rotorua so I took them to Sulphur Point before we headed off to Lake Tarawera for more photos.

The place where the family had been staying was a gorgeous little lodge at Lake Tarawera with a stunning section that has a rustic pathway all the way down to the lake. It also had an outdoor pizza oven, almost like a hobbit hole wine cellar, huge outdoor rustic chair, a rotunda, and a swing!

Sheree praised the Princess Gate Hotel for really doing their best to put on the reception she and Wayne desired, with an intimate dinner as well as an outdoor seating area to relax in.  Before I left I took photos of the cutting of the cake (which had Smurfette and Gargamel on top), the bouquet toss (caught by the flower girl) and the garter toss.




Really enjoyable wedding.  Didn't she do well organising it all from Aussie!!
