Stephanie Baker, Homebodii's bride of the month, met her husband while backpacking in Southeast Asia, leading to a destination wedding in Crete, Greece. Despite living in Australia, they chose Agreco Farm as their venue, only seeing it in person two days before the wedding. The day was filled with unique touches, including a polaroid guest book, personalized elements for their dog, and a humorous rap during speeches. Stephanie advises new brides on vendor research, late-night snacks, diverse playlists, and cherishing private moments. Her Homebodii moment was wearing the Sian white slip, praising its beauty, comfort, and confidence-inspiring features.

The most unexpected part of the day was...

We wrote personal handwritten cards to each guest which we had at their table setting. It was so special watching everyone read their personal cards and witnessing their reactions.

My bridesmaid and bridesman did a rap for their speech, it was absolutely hilarious and one of my favourite parts of the whole day!

My inspiration for my hair and make up…

I knew I wanted my hair up, being the middle of summer, it was going to be hot! I had my hair and makeup trial a few days prior with my wonderful hair / makeup artist (@natasha.makeupartist). My beautiful bridesmaid and mothers had free rein to choose how they would like their hair and makeup, to ensure they also felt comfortable and confident. 

When I look back on the day now I feel…

Happy, emotional, full of love and sad (that it is over!).

 A word of advice to new brides would be…

 Research your vendors (having amazing vendors are key, they will make your day run so smoothly).

Organise a late night snack for your guests (we had chicken gyros, they were amazing!)

Have a range of songs for all ages to ensure everyone will get up on the dance floor.

Take a few moments to be alone with your partner on the night – soak it all in together.

Don’t feel inclined to invite everyone you know, keep it small & intimate. 

My Homebodii moment was special because…

 I wore the Sian white slip. Not only is the slip stunning, it was comfortable, light, easy to move in and photographed beautifully. I felt so confident getting ready.
