When did you start looking for your wedding dress?
My mum found it! I was living in Kalgoorlie at the time and was searching on the internet for dresses and found one I liked. Mum went to have a look and found a different dress in the front window that she knew I would love. I tried it on, on our next commute to Perth and loved it.

Calla Lillies – they are such an elegant flower. I had orange and the very last cream ones of the season.
