You might think planning a wedding from another country might be stressful, but this clever couple had the wedding of their dreams with one sweet and simple wedding package from EcoWed

Lucy and Morgan came across EcoWed online and liked that the wedding packages were simple and intimate, but still felt personal and unique. All EcoWed packages include a Celebrant, venue and photographer so couples can have a relaxing wedding experience. 

From the moment Lucy and Morgan first chatted with Kerry (celebrant and planning superstar) they made it clear that they wanted a wedding that was small, stress free and one that allowed them to be completely present in the moment. The EcoWed package was perfect.

Lucy and Morgan chose to fly from Australia to their home country New Zealand so they could share their wedding day with special family members. Flying to New Zealand rather than having the whole family fly to Australia was less carbon intensive and as we know, travel is one of the major factors in the carbon footprint of a wedding

Thanks to Kerry’s calm approach and modern technology, Lucy and Morgan were able to “meet” with Kerry over Zoom and from this Kerry was able to write their ceremony and plan a beautiful event. They did end up meeting a few days before the wedding, but mostly to enjoy a wine together!

On the day of the wedding Lucy and Morgan arrived together – looking absolutely stunning.  Lucy with her incredible outfit and gorgeous shoes, cute chic veil and her hubby to be Morgan looking suave in his suit. 

Lucy and Morgan weren’t big fans of being in front of the camera, however Lara from Soul Sisters Photography put them at ease and managed to capture them looking relaxed, laughing, walking, with whanau(family), sipping bubbly and generally enjoying themselves!

Doesn’t the whole thing look absolutely dreamy?
