Kim & Sarah’s Elegant Wedding at Mt Vernon Lodge, Akaroa
On January 25, 2025, just a day after their dating anniversary, Kim and Sarah tied the knot at the breathtaking Mt Vernon Lodge in Akaroa, Canterbury. The venue held deep family meaning – once home to Sarah’s great-grandmother, making it the perfect place to begin the next chapter of their story.
The day was a seamless blend of timeless elegance and heartfelt personal touches. Their bridal party stunned in sleek black while Kim and Sarah stood out in crisp white, creating a sophisticated, old-money aesthetic. But it was the florals that truly set the tone – a stunning explosion of rich, joyful colour designed by Saturday Collective. Bold pinks, citrus tones, and vibrant seasonal blooms added warmth and personality to every moment, filling the day with character and bringing their vision to life.
And in one of the sweetest details, Kim and Sarah swapped the traditional cake topper for something far more meaningful: Polaroid photos of each of them taken on the day. Simple, fun, and incredibly personal – a keepsake they’ll treasure long after the last slice was shared.
Every choice they made reflected who they are as a couple, steering away from fleeting trends and instead creating a celebration that felt deeply authentic. It was stylish, meaningful, and unforgettable – a true reflection of Kim and Sarah’s love.
