Chelsey & Tom – Radisson Blu Resort

Meeting 7 years ago (on the date of their wedding) through business friends, Chelsey & Tom fell in love. They were looking for a small wedding with close family and friends, and they felt Fiji was so beautiful. They also knew people that lived there and based on their feedback, a Fiji wedding seemed like a great idea!

The colours/themes you chose:
We went with Red and White. Radisson provided and set up the décor at the ceremony as well as the flowers – we got the package “Dreams do come true” this was amazing and left all the thinking to Seni our wedding coordinator.

We personalised our wedding vows and loved that. We made it our day and had a relaxing fun time.

GETTING PHOTOS:

We chose Laura Pittman from Island Encounters Photography.

We wanted something that had our personalities in it and we knew after looking at Laura’s work that she was the best for the job. She was joined by Videographer, Caleb, who Laura organised for us.

We love everything about our photos and video. Only thing we wish we took the option of keeping the videographer longer!

The Radisson Blu – Waterfall Lawn.

Our colours & themes were red & white and everything was organized by the Radisson. We bought our own bubbles from the local liquor store and the hotel provided the glasses. We got the full buffet dinner as this was easy for everyone.
