Lilli + Chris

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s as kind to the planet as it is beautiful, you’ll love what Lilli and Chris did for their big day in Wairarapa. Lilli spent months carefully drying flowers to create stunning DIY décor, and their entire menu was vegan—every detail thoughtfully planned with the environment in mind.

Their style? Totally unique and completely true to who they are. Aren't both their outfits just amazing?

What made the day even more special was the way their friends came together to help with everything—from hand-painted signage to carpooling guests to the venue, cutting down on emissions. This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a reflection of their values and a beautiful reminder of how meaningful a low-waste wedding can be.

What really stuck with me was Chris’s speech at the reception. He told their guests that they didn’t need to get married—but they chose to because, as he put it, “the reason we had this wedding is for you.” He talked about how much their friends and family had supported them through life’s ups and downs and mentioned that they had actually met at a wedding. This day wasn’t just about their love—it was about bringing together the people they care about most, and, of course, having a great party.
