The Cove Jervis Bay
A little bit about yourselves: We have been together for 11
years. We met as kids on the South Coast at Gerroa where both
our families holidayed. Daniel is an Electrical Engineer and
Jelena is a Marketing Manager. We both live in South West
Sydney in our new home we build 5 years ago with our two
French Bulldogs Kali and Floyd.
Who popped the question and how? Daniel organised a trip to
Gerroa for the weekend with some friends for his birthday. He
and the boys went out fishing one morning while the girls went
out for breakfast. When we returned back to the house there was
a note that had a clue, which then sent Jelena on a big treasure
hunt around Gerroa to all their favourite spots. Each spot was
left with the next clue. The last clue was Daniel waiting on
Gerroa beach where he had set up a picnic and asked the
question Jelena had been waiting 10 years for!
Why you chose this venue: The Cove was a perfect choice
because we love the beach and it had the vibe, look and feel we
wanted for our wedding.
Was this a destination wedding? Yes
Why did you choose the NSW South Coast? The South Coast
holds a very special place in both our hearts. It is where we met
and had shared a lot of great memories. It only made sense we
got married there and created more magical memories.
Wedding theme/style: Bohemian beach vibes
Inspiration behind the day: We wanted a relaxed bohemian
style wedding. The Cove worked perfectly with this theme and
had so many beautiful elements that tied in well with the
styling of the day.
Best parts of the day: Ceremony – tying the knot (literally).
Instead of writing our own vows we tied the knot in front of
everyone with a big rope. The knot is called the Fisherman's
knot, which is the strongest knot that only gets stronger
overtime.
Advice you would give other couples: Organising a wedding
is a lot of work, so be sure to take it all in and enjoy every
moment of it because before you know it the day is over.
Any DIY projects: Daniel's father built our beautiful wedding
arch. We have generously donated this to The Cove for other
couples to use. Jelena made her own wedding cake.
Sources of inspiration: Pinterest was Jelena's wedding bible!
It helped her build colours, style and theme together to pass on
to her stylist.
