Serena + Ben
The love story of Serena and Ben began ten years ago while the pair happened to be working at the same festival. Since then, this couple’s wonderful wedding journey has been filled with moments of uniqueness! After being engaged in Canada on a skiing holiday, to winning a competition that helped cover and plan part of their special day, Serena and Ben chose a distinct look rather than a traditional wedding. Instead of a white gown, Serena wore black. Instead of delicate flower stems, there was a sword hilt. Instead of a wedding painter, the couple invited a tattoo artist. Every choice came straight from the heart, inspired by what felt true to them. Nothing reflected this more than the change on the traditional first look into a first touch; it became Serena’s favourite memory of the entire day. But in the lead up, another unforgettable moment was stepping into Always and Forever Bridal. The company offered her support without judgement for wanting something a little different. With the theme of Til’ Death, this wedding, this couple and their love story is one of dramatics – a dramatic declaration of love, exactly what love should be.
BRIDE’S ADVICE
“Stay true to who you are, don’t let others convince you of how
your day should be … and you can still have a fairytale wedding
without the white dress”
