Deanna & Simon’s English Country Garden Wedding in Wanaka

My involvement was full for their wedding, from organising the stationary, which was designed and produced by the talented Kate Holland of Ruby & Willow, to the de-rig the day after and even organising he shipping of their wedding gifts to London.
