Aiya + James

Aiya & James | Coastal Glamour at Hillbrook Estate

Ocean views, couture fashion and hydrangeas on hydrangeas. Aiya and James’ Hillbrook Estate wedding brought a seriously chic take on coastal glamour to the Coromandel.

Aiya started the day in a custom Steven Khalil gown, paired with a lace-edged veil and ivory-clad bridesmaids, before switching things up with two Aston Bridal looks as the celebrations rolled on. And honestly, we love a bride committed to an outfit change.

The florals by Avant Garden were another standout. White hydrangeas lined the ceremony aisle, while green and white hydrangeas spilled across the reception tables and cascaded right down to the ground. Add a champagne tower, oceanfront portraits, a clear marquee and one very fun dance floor and this one was a beauty.

The three bridal looks, the bridesmaids in buttery ivory, that incredible hydrangea-covered tablescape, the champagne tower and Aiya’s sparkly mini for the party. But the ceremony view? Hard to beat.
