Enchanting Children

It seems more and more couples are deciding to make their wedding a children-free zone. While you may think having kids at your ceremony will cause havoc or steal the attention away from you, don't forget what children also bring to your day: happiness, cute outfits, and adorable (priceless) moments!

Recently a team of Sydney wedding suppliers got together to create this shoot in celebration of the life that children bring to a wedding.

We asked Lina from Chanele Rose what the inspiration behind this idea was: “I don’t think there is anything quite as precious, gorgeous and beautifully innocent as children. These days kids miss out so much on weddings - most invites we get say, "Please no children under 16."

Lina understands that brides and grooms might be trying to cut costs when they decide not to invite children, however one her favourite memories as a child was being a flower girl at a family friend’s wedding. “I would not want to trade that for the world.”

We agree that children can bring that something special to your day.

Check out this gorgeous wrap-up video from the shoot:

Will you be having children at your wedding? Why? Why not?

Are you having a flower girl and/or ring bearer?
