 Celebrating Your Authenticity: Your Love, Your Rules

Your wedding day is a reflection of your love, your journey, and your vision for the future. It's a celebration of the unique bond you share with your partner, and it should be as authentic as your love story itself. By breaking away from tradition, you have the opportunity to create a wedding that speaks to who you are as individuals and as a couple. Whether it's choosing unconventional attire, writing your own vows, or opting for a non-traditional venue, the possibilities are endless when you embrace your authenticity.

Your wedding day is a chance to honor what matters most to you – whether it's blending cultural customs, paying homage to family traditions, or creating your own unique rituals. By weaving these meaningful elements into your celebration, you can infuse your wedding day with depth, meaning, and personal significance.

Welcome! I’m Kelly Sexton, and I’m thrilled you’re here. My life feels like a fairy tale, filled with love, happiness, and a fierce determination to make dreams come true. At 17, on Christmas Day, David proposed, and our love story took flight. Winning a wedding through a local radio contest was a dream come true, but like any bride, I faced challenges – difficult vendors, planning stress, and family tensions. The stress even took a toll on my health, a stark reminder that no bride should endure such unnecessary stress. Our wedding day was perfect despite a few hiccups, but tragedy struck the next day when my mother passed away unexpectedly. This loss fuelled my passion to support other brides, leading to the creation of Creative Brides. Our community is dedicated to helping brides navigate their wedding planning journey with confidence and joy, offering a safe space for advice and inspiration. Beyond Creative Brides, I am a hands on, home-educating mum, happily married to David for over 18 years. We have three wonderful yet full of life children and two dogs. I love the great outdoors, camping, and creating precious memories around a campfire with my family. My dream is to travel the world with my family and later embark on adventures with my husband on our motorbikes. I am passionate about inspiring others to follow their dreams and believe everyone deserves to live their best life. Through Creative Brides, I hope to share my passion and energy, ensuring every bride experiences the joy and magic of their special day. Let's create something beautiful together!
