Cameron & Cassie

Oh Castaway! Your still in my wedded dreams. I don’t get to share many Castaway Island Fiji weddings often. And when they come around they are gorgeous.

This one in particular. The wedding of Cameron & Cassie who after 14 years they decided to say their I do’s in front of 46 loved ones.

“After getting engaged in Central Park New York City in April 2014, we started discussing a destination wedding and how relaxing and fun it would be as we loved to travel and loved the relaxation & warmth that Fiji offers. Our friends and family also knew there was no other option for us as I work for a company that sells Fiji holidays (Island Escapes) all day/every day and Fiji has always been one of our favourite holiday destinations.”

After meeting him at a friends wedding aussie Photographer, Chris Allsop was there to capture their day.

The Highlight /

There was so many but having so many of our beautiful family & friends with us in one of our favourites places and seeing them embrace the Fijian hospitality & culture. And the sneaky escape together as husband & wife was nice in during our reception to get some more photos and to have some time to actually realise OMG we just got married.

The Advice / Be patient! Embrace the Fijian culture. Be realistic and a little bit flexible to what you want for your Fiji wedding. Use their flowers… seriously they are beautiful!

Simon & Ashley

The Warwick is become a favorite for Fiji destination weddings. It has multiple options for a beach wedding and a deck that overlooks the ocean for a reception with the sea breeze.

After the stress of planning a wedding in Whitianga New Zealand, Simon & Ashely decided to follow their dream of a tropical wedding and switched to Fiji. With the only requirement being a swim up bar, they chose The Warwick Resort & Spa for their big day.

Captured by New Zealand Photographer Fiona Andersen, Ashley shares with us some details of their Warwick Fiji wedding.

The Dress / Dress was bought from Primrose and Finch in Auckland, New Zealand. The designer was Katya Katya Shehurina. The bridesmaid’s wore dresses from Asos. We all wore barefoot sandles from Forever soles and jewels from Samantha Wills.”>

The Ceremony / Was held on the beach at the Warwick near the adults pool. The setup was decorated with flowers and coconuts along the aisle, with white chairs decorated with blue ribbons. We had a traditional vow exchange followed by a sand ceremony.

The Cake / Was by the resort. Top tier was carrot and the bottom chocolate.

The Highlight / The Pastor pronounced us Mr & Mrs Ball’s was very funny the whole crowd burst in laughter. Marrying my best friend was the best and most important part of the day. Cake fight at the end of the night involving our guest was hilarious. Sharing our beautiful day with our closest friends and family, you know the people who have made the trip over are there because you are important to them. was very important for us to have our beautiful daughter play a big role in the day. We loved when our daughter cut in and joined us at the end of our first dance.

The Advice /

Don’t Stress the small things or the smaller details. On the day it will all come together and the things you think are important prior to the wedding day won’t seem so important on the day. Let the planners do their jobs, whilst it is your wedding the planners do 100’s wedding’s year and know what they are doing. Don’t stress if the planners don’t respond to you quickly they will sort everything on arrival. Book in important suppliers like your photographer, makeup artists etc.. as soon as possible so you don’t miss out on your first picks.

Sam & Hayley

You’ll probably hear me repeat this over and over again. But I love a wedding where the couples show their individual style. This Musket Cove Fiji Wedding is a perfect example with the couple going mod!

I love this style, in particular for the tea length dresses — Perfect for the humid heat of Fiji.
The couple also kept it simple letting their surroundings do the talking, minimal ceremony & reception decor. But you wouldn’t even notice.

Captured by Leezett Photography, have fun viewing the adorable wedding of Sam & Hayley.

The advice /

Trust the local suppliers/resort staff they know what they are doing!

Sam & Sara

BB is back with some gorgeous real Fiji weddings for 2016. And I have a feeling that this year is going to be seeing some divine weddings.

To begin, the wedding of Sam & Sara who said I do in August 2015. A classically simple wedding done right. They decided to have their reception on a yacht! A fabulous idea for those with smaller wedding parties and those who want to do something a little different. Not to forget the view!

Frequent visitor to Fiji – photographer Kellee Walsh was there to capture it all. Sara shares with us some details of their day and most importantly her advice.

The Planning /

I am very proud to say we did all the planning ourselves. We shared the work but our advice to all couples is not to panic, remember that the Fijian culture is a little more laid back and try and adopt this culture whilst planning.

The Location / We first visited Fiji in September 2013 and fell in love with the laid back culture and friendly people. We always wanted a small wedding so we thought why not combine it with a holiday at our favourite destination with thirty of our favourite people.

The Bride wore / Rachel Gilbert with a custom made Greta Kate detachable train. I wore a headpiece, which my Grandma wore at her wearing in 1956. She was unable to travel from the UK to Fiji and it was so special for me to be able to wear this.

The Cake / Was by Taste Fiji.

The Favours / Welcome bags which contained a personalised cookie for each guest, a black and white stubby holder, a photo frame with a quote in each which we had written a note on the back of each picture, a sparkler and reception order of events.

The Highlight / Standing on the top deck and realising that we everything we had spent soo long thinking and planning was really worth it, everyone was having a great time. And walking down he aisle to see my handsome man standing in front of the most beautiful Fijian beach surrounded by palm trees.

The Advice / When planning a destination wedding you need to be prepared and excited about the fact that not everything will be exactly how you planned it.

Our original reception venue fell through. As a result we decided to have It on board Adrenalin’s yacht, Bel’ Mare. This turned out to be my favourite part of the day as it was soo unique and an amazing experience for our guests.

The staff on board were lovely and Party Hire Fiji did such an amazing job of setting it up. If things don’t go exactly how you plan, just let it go as it will still be beautiful, don’t let it ruin your day!

Lastly, I read all the Bula Bride weddings religiously to get ideas about suppliers, what you can /cannot take over to Fiji and quite frankly we could not have planned it without the help of Bula Bride!

Best of 2015 Bridal Portrait

This would have to be my most favourite category. This category showcases the best of what Fiji’s Destination Wedding Photographers have to offer.

Fiji can be underestimated for the wedding services on offer. Fiji offers some of the best talent in the world and the photographers are the prime example of that. Their unique advantage is making use of their knowledge of Fiji (land and light) to find the right setups to capture those wow moments.

For Destination Wedding photographers who come to Fiji they see things from a different perspective and use their skill and creativity to capture to offer us inspirational images.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the photographers of Fiji those in the Destination Wedding Photography Industry for their support and faith in Bula Bride, without their co-opreration and support I wouldn’t be able to bring you the best in Fiji Weddings throughout 2015 and be able to do inspirational shoots.

There were so many divine portraits in 2015 with the rise of the Off the Beaten Track style portrait which surfaced in late 2013. I think 2016 will see more couples heading outside of the resorts for portraits and get a little more creative.

Here are my picks for the best bridal portraits of 2015.
