Claire and Simon

From childhood memories to wedding day magic at Flat White Café

Claire’s a good ol Kiwi gal who met her British chap, Simon in the UK.  They are two of the most natural fun people to hang out with.  Claire and Simon chose Claire’s favorite beach for their New Zealand wedding – Waihi Beach where Claire spent many a day playing as a child. 

They wanted a relaxed beach wedding and that’s exactly what they got.   Sand between their toes with a chilled vibe.   I loved the fact Claire walked with Dad from their bach to the ceremony in jandal’s and did the rest of the day being a barefoot bride. They had their beach ceremony right in front of their wedding venue the Flat White Cafe.

I’d also like to give a mention to Waihi’s very own florist www.minipetals.com who did the most beautiful work for Claire’s wedding bouquet and wedding reception details.  Now check out this fabulous fun couple who as they married had the pacific ocean quite literally lapping at their feet – So darn perfect.  – Rochelle

The vendors who made the magic happen

It truly takes a village to create a wedding day that feels seamless, joyful, and completely you. Alongside the love and excitement, there’s a team of dedicated vendors working quietly in the background to make everything flow. Here are the wonderful people and businesses who helped bring this wedding story to life.
