On the 17th of May 2026, our beautiful bride Holly married Zach surrounded by the breathtaking ocean views of Daydream Island in the Whitsundays. With soft golden light, flowing veils, and a romantic coastal atmosphere, their wedding perfectly captured the feeling of timeless island elegance with a touch of classic Bridgerton-inspired romance.
After meeting in Airlie Beach when Zach asked Holly for her number while working as a bartender at the Airlie Beach Hotel, the pair instantly connected and have been inseparable ever since. Their relationship has been built on adventure, love, and creating meaningful memories together, making the Whitsundays the perfect place to begin this next chapter.
For her wedding gown, Holly wore our Monolo gown, customised to create a look that felt uniquely her own. After falling in love with the silhouette of another AFTER FIVE gown, she decided to recreate the shape using a different fabric to achieve the exact vision she had imagined. The final result was a timeless satin ballgown with modern structure, soft movement, and effortless elegance.
From Zach’s heartfelt proposal on Hamilton Island in front of the same chapel where Holly’s parents were married, to the emotional moment Holly waited around the corner in the buggy before finally walking down the aisle toward him, every part of their wedding day felt deeply personal and unforgettable.
