Corrugated

Dion Lee [II] corrugated pleated strapless dress, C/meo right on cardigan (similar), Givenchy sequin heels (also love this style), ASOS camo clutch

With all the miserable weather forecast for the few days we had in Wellington, I couldn’t have predicted that we would have a more beautiful day for our engagement party. The sun was shining and the windy city a little less… windy.

I nabbed this pleated confection from Dion Lee a few weeks before we left, as it seemed like the perfect excuse to wear something white (other than at the wedding, of course!). My dear friend Nina and I shot these photos just as the light was fading over the inner lagoon by the Wellington Rowing Club, and I don’t think she could have captured the moment (or my sentiments of the evening) more perfectly. Filled to the brim with happiness, both at being in my home town (if ever so briefly) and for the chance to celebrate such a special moment with all of my friends and family. There are very few times in my short life that I’ve felt absolutely overwhelmed and overcome with emotion, and this night was definitely one of them.

For those of you curious enough to want to get a glimpse into my trip home, I vlogged our time there which you can check out here. And, for those of you wanting to get a peek of my dress above in motion, Nina also very kindly shot – and edited (!!) – the video below. Enjoy! x
