Amanda Nikolovski sensed that a proposal was on the cards when her partner, Ezra Kereama, left a single red rose and a white box on the bed of their New York hotel room. 

America was the perfect place to go wedding gown shopping, but it wasn’t until Amanda arrived back in Australia that she found “the one”.

“Mum and I went shopping at some of the well known bridal boutiques around Melbourne, and when we had our appointment at Baccini and Hill, everything fell into place. 

Amanda’s backless silk gown with its gorgeous train was perfect for the couple’s destination wedding in Bali, and they celebrated their spectacular nuptials in a luxury private villa with a large group of treasured family and friends. 

“When we thought about what our dream wedding would look like, we pictured a special celebration with perfect weather, breathtaking views overlooking the sea, and special touches that were personal to both of us,” Amanda said.
