Rose & Shawn

In the embrace of a tropical paradise at Shangri-La, Yanuca Island, Fiji, Rose Haintz and Shawn White exchanged vows, creating memories that would last a lifetime. From a chance encounter at a Christmas party to a heartfelt proposal on a beach in Ocean Grove, their love story blossomed into a beautiful destination wedding surrounded by loved ones. Join us as we immerse ourselves in the details of their special day, from the stunning venue and elegant attire to the meaningful jewellery that adorned the bride.
 

 

The Love Story

Rose and Shawn's journey began at a real estate agency where they briefly met at a Christmas party in 2015. It wasn't until Rose transferred to Shawn's office in 2018 that their connection deepened. A shared love for beach walks with their pug, Pango, set the stage for a sweet proposal in Ocean Grove. As Shawn knelt down to retrieve his "lost" sock, he surprised Rose with a stunning ring, marking the beginning of their engagement.

Favourite Part of the Wedding Day

For Rose, the entire destination wedding was a dream come true. Combining the celebration with a holiday for friends and family created a joyous atmosphere. However, her favourite moment was walking into a seaside chapel with the picturesque blue ocean as the backdrop, where Shawn awaited her at the altar. The magic of the moment lingered in her memory.

Wedding Inspiration and Theme

With a vision of green and white tropical elegance, Rose and Shawn curated a wedding aesthetic that perfectly complemented the Fiji setting. The lush greenery and pristine white details created a tropical paradise that echoed their love for each other and the stunning surroundings.

The Bridesmaids

Rose's bridesmaids, her two oldest school friends, Liz and Jac, donned beautiful sage green silk dresses from Bec and Bridge. Simple pearl drop earrings added an elegant touch, enhancing the tropical and timeless theme of the wedding.

Jewellery Choice

For her wedding day, Rose chose the Olivia Pearl Earrings from Maison de Femmes. Inspired by the desire for elegance and simplicity to complement her strapless dress, the pearl drop earrings perfectly aligned with the green and white theme. The timeless pieces added a touch of sophistication to Rose's bridal look.

How did you find out about Maison de Femmes?

Rose discovered Maison de Femmes through Instagram, captivated by the brand's elegant and timeless jewellery. The Olivia Pearl Earrings stood out among the options, proving to be the perfect choice for her wedding day ensemble.
As Rose reflects on her perfect day, she wouldn't change a thing. The love-filled celebration, the tropical paradise, and the elegant details all contributed to a wedding that exceeded her dreams. Here's to Rose and Shawn, whose love story continues to blossom in the warmth of Fiji's embrace.
