We had been friends for a long time before our relationship began, but even from our first date, I knew he was the man I would marry one day. We got engaged on the World Islands in Dubai. Tom grew up in Dubai, so it meant a lot to him and his family, as it was a place with many happy childhood memories. It\u2019s also where we spent our first holiday together eight years earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9691-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"sophie and tom posing with an indigenous tribe in the serengeti - layne by All Who Wander\" class=\"wp-image-20276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9691-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9691-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9691-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9691-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9691.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-describe-your-bridal-style-tell-us-about-your-dress-shopping-experience\"><strong>DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE.

I\u2019ve never been a \u201cgirly girl,\u201d so choosing a wedding dress made me feel quite nervous, but when I saw the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.essensedesigns.com\/all-who-wander\/wedding-dresses\/layne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">All Who Wander layne gown<\/a> on Instagram, I knew it was the one for me. I tried a few other dresses on before the layne gown, but nothing compared.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>The dainty, vintage-inspired floral lace long sleeves, high mock neckline and unique botanical details all complemented my style and complexion so well. I\u2019ve never felt more comfortable in an outfit, and I fell in love with the dress more each time I tried it on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9694-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"sophie and tom just married in the serengeti holding hands during petal toss - layne by All Who Wander\" class=\"wp-image-20275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9694-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9694-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9694-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9694-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9694.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-your-own-words-tell-us-more-about-your-wedding\"><strong>IN YOUR OWN WORDS, TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.\u202f\u202f<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We eloped on a safari at the Four Seasons in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and it was absolutely magical. We started the day with a hot air balloon ride, watching elephants, giraffes and hippos from the sky at sunrise. On our drive back to the lodge, we saw lion families, more elephants and hundreds of zebras and antelopes. We got ready while watching buffalos from our balcony, then had our ceremony with a Masaai tribe. It was incredibly unique and very lowkey, yet everything we had ever dreamed of. There was no pressure whatsoever.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom and I have never liked being the center of attention, so sharing our vows and experiencing such a once-in-a-lifetime setting as just the two of us was beyond special. We then met our family in Zanzibar to continue the celebrations and had a party with all our closest family and friends after we returned, which meant I got to wear the dress again!&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>We have memories to last a lifetime, and we are so happy that we decided to do it this way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Cheers<\/em><em> to Sophie and Tom!\u202f<\/em>\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vendor Acknowledgements<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Photographer<\/strong><em>:\u202f\u202f<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/greenweddingfilm_\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Green Wedding Film<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bridal Shop: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lauramaybridal\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laura May Bridal<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Venue: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/serengeti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Four Seasons Serengeti<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Makeup<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/waofaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WAO Faces<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Did you wear an Essense of Australia gown on your wedding day? <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.essensedesigns.com\/blog\/share-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Share your photos with us for a chance to be featured.\u202f<\/em><\/a>\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Are you still searching for the perfect wedding dress?
