Gemma Dimond (née Watts) Wedding

Call it the wedding of the year, muse Gemma Watts married in November last year at an elegant ceremony with one of Melbourne's most picturesque city gardens as the backdrop. By her side, her four bridesmaids were adorned in timeless Saint Valentine Jewellery.

What were some of the stand out special moments from your wedding?

My husband and I have the same top three moments - seeing each other for the first time before I walked down the aisle (I would give anything to bottle that feeling), sharing our vows, and having time with just the two of us between the ceremony and reception. The entire day was perfect - we would not change one single thing.

What was the inspiration / styling approach behind your bridesmaids looks and their accessories?

My bridesmaids are four of the most beautiful girls on earth, inside and out, so I wanted them to feel as beautiful as they are. Their looks were very in line with my personal style - classic, streamlined, pretty minimal. I designed their dresses with Erika Georg and that process was so special. The dresses were minimal with a couple of twists in the details, so I wanted their accessories to be the same - both the Aspen Bracelet and Reverie Earrings are really timeless but still feel fresh and current (and catch the light so beautifully!)

And any special moments with your bridesmaids?

Spending the night with the girls before the wedding, and getting ready together with my beautiful mum, was the best. I could not have gone into the day in a better mood, and that is absolutely a reflection of the company I kept. It just felt like a party!

As a beauty expert, how did you prep your skin leading up to the wedding? Do you have any tips for a bride-to-be?

What I did, and what I suggest everyone else does, is do not try any new products for a good month or so out from the big day. A large part of my job is trialling and reviewing new products, so this was a rule that definitely altered my capacity to work, but in all honesty it was worth it because I didn't have any scary or unexpected skin reactions on my hens day or the wedding.

Did your bridesmaids give you any advice that was particularly helpful or meaningful?

Each of my bridesmaids gave me a handwritten letter on my wedding morning, and they were all so, so beautiful. I'll keep them forever. The overarching piece of advice was to just enjoy - and enjoy I most certainly did!
