Sarah O'Hare & Lachlan Murdoch

I have kept these magazine clippings for years, and have scoured the internet to find them again, but to no avail. So please excuse the poor quality of the images, but I just had to share this glamorous, elegant wedding with you.


It was Australia's wedding of the decade when Lachlan Murdoch, son of billionaire media magnate Rupert Murdoch, married Australian supermodel Sarah O'Hare, 26, in 1999.

The intimate wedding, held at the family's New South Wales estate, was veiled in secrecy, with only 100 close friends and family invited. After exchanging vows, in a chapel that was specially constructed for the day, the happy couple shared champagne cocktails with their guests and enjoyed a spectacular sunset fireworks display.

Sarah O'Hare and Lachlan Murdoch exchanged vows in a specially constructed outdoor chapel
at the Murdoch's riverside estate, before 100 close family and friends.

Carrying a bouquet of old-fashioned roses, Sarah looked stunning in an elegant bridal gown
of silk layered in tulle, georgette and satin and a silk veil.

The couples parents Rupert and Anna Murdoch and Patrick and Carol O'Hare.

The newlyweds with Lachlan's sister Elisabeth, brother James, half-sister Prudence MacLeon
and Elisabeth's daughter Cornelia.

Sarah is given shelter from the rain as she walks to the chapel.

Sarah's close friend (and designer of her gown ), Collette Dinnigan, says
"There love is empowering, contagious and obvious. You can't help smiling in their presence."

The stunning bridal party.


I can't resist sharing a few more photos of the couple, they are just so glamorous.
Lachlan and Sarah met on a boat in Sydney Harbour when a friend hired the boat for a photo shoot and in the evening held a dinner party, to which both were invited.

Will You Be My Fashionable Bridesmaid?

Gone are the days of bridesmaids being the victim of a bride's bizarre and ridiculous fashion sense... okay, so maybe there are still a few out there (you only have to watch 27 Dresses to know that), but there is a fabulous modern trend that see's bridesmaids wearing slightly mismatched dresses, either by colour or style, creating a stylish fashionable wedding party.


It may have taken a few decades to become a trend, but at last your bridesmaids can wear a style that suits their figure, skin tone and personality... and it makes for stunning vibrant photographs.

I have kept this photo in my scrapbook for years. It was the first time I had ever seen elegant, fun, vibrant mis-matched bridesmaids. To this day, I still love this photo & the dresses (by Australian designer Alex Perry).

Embrace Love


I came across this image taken by the talented people at Flashdance.
The second this image showed up on my screen, all i said was
"Okay, that is insane"... I love the true, unspoken strength of love that melts from this shot.
This is life at its best. Embrace it !
