Alana Di-Filippo Dreamy Chapel Wedding

Get ready to fall in love with our GL Bride of the Week, the stunning Alana Di-Filippo! She recently tied the knot with her fiancé in our G-212 gown with a dreamy chapel ceremony, followed by a gorgeous reception at the Bendooley Estate’s Stables. In the following interview, Alana shares the moments she will never forget and her journey as a GL Bride. As told by Alana:

"I remember thinking ‘it’s all coming together’ as I put the dress on"

A moment of your wedding day will you never forget?

The day itself felt a little like a daydream in all honesty. The morning itself felt calm and collected, with lots of laughter filling the air. I loved the small little moments before it all felt real, seeing those I love most read the letters I wrote, getting to see my parents and loved ones-and reading my partner’s very reassuring letter (he knows me too well!) before stepping out the door really stick with me. But undoubtedly, I will never forget standing at the chapel doors, shedding a few happy tears, and grasping my dad’s arm for dear life-all to finally have the doors open and see my other half standing there. At that moment, all the nerves shifted away, and the excitement of finally getting married set in.

How did you know your dress was 'the one'?

I remember thinking – I want some texture, florals… maybe strapless? Yet, the moment I stepped into the gown, all my preconceived ideas of what I thought I wanted drifted away. It felt different from everything else I had tried prior. It felt delicate yet detailed, feminine, and whimsical.

"Honestly, I enjoyed every single moment of the day, and nothing stands out."

How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone's reaction to the dress?

The final moments in the morning felt dreamlike. I remember thinking ‘it’s all coming together’ as I put the dress on and placed on all the final details, and it was all I wanted and more. Most reactions that morning involved lots of happy tears – my parents, my Aunty, and my bridesmaids-all just after the amazing glam squad had finished us all up!

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?

At our reception at Bendooley Estate’s Stables, we opted for the Table Share service option. This meant that each course meant the center table was filled with varying food options, allowing people to pick and choose what they felt like eating for each course in comparison to an alternate serve. Coming from Italian culture, this is commonly how we share family dinners and that’s exactly how the food throughout the night felt-a large family feast!

"I just knew in my heart it was the dress that I was meant to say ‘I do’ in."
