A day to reflect and treasure

In December, Andrew and Mel Brookes celebrated 25 years of marriage with a vow renewal at Paradise Cove, Orlando, surrounded by their four children. After the loss of a close family member earlier in the year, this was a deeply meaningful way to honour their love and the memories they’ve built together as a family

Their special day was filled with love and reflection, not just on the life they’ve shared but on those who are no longer with them. It was a celebration of the bond they’ve nurtured, with their children by their side, creating new memories to carry forward.

When Andrew and Mel first wed in 2000, Andrew struggled to find the perfect suit. This time, he was determined to design something uniquely special for both himself and their son. The process was a beautiful reminder of how far they’ve come as a couple, a family, and a business.

Working with wedding suppliers overseas also offered them fresh insight into the challenges their clients face. From the warmth of the climate to ensuring the suits travel well, the experience deepened their commitment to providing a service that goes above and beyond, no matter where their clients are.
