In this special episode of The Bridal Journey Podcast, we sit down with Natasha “Tash” Oakley, founder of Monday Swimwear and The Pilates Class, as she invites us into her world of love, fashion, and the unforgettable atmosphere of her wedding celebration on the breathtaking island of Capri, Italy. Known for its captivating views and lush cliffside landscapes, Capri became the perfect destination for Tash and her husband, Theo Chambers, to say “I do.” The couple embraced the island’s beauty, where Theo had proposed, using it as the ultimate backdrop for a celebration that blended European beach club elegance with the timeless charm of Italian romance.
From the Caesar Augustus Hotel ceremony to a lively reception at Il Riccio, Tash describes how they crafted a sensory journey for their guests, celebrating love amidst breathtaking coastlines and vibrant al fresco moments. Each location was chosen intentionally, creating a flow that perfectly balanced romance and joy. The bouzouki player’s performance brought their Greek connection to life, making every moment feel even more personal and profound, evoking a deep sense of connection and emotion.
Fashion was integral to Tash’s wedding story, showcasing her impeccable style and collaboration with two renowned Australian designers, Steven Khalil and Michael Lo Sordo. Her first look, a custom gown by Steven Khalil, featured hand embroidery reminiscent of coral and ocean waves that sparkled under the Italian sun, paired beautifully with a long lace veil. For the reception, Michael Lo Sordo’s tailored design perfectly captured Tash’s iconic elegance, complemented by bridesmaids in classic white silk gowns. Each piece was selected with accessories from Jimmy Choo, Bulgari, and Rubeus Milano to reflect a timeless sophistication. At the same time, makeup by Charlotte Tilbury’s team and hair by Alessandro Rebecchi perfected her golden goddess look.
As the evening unfolded, the couple’s vision of a European summer soirée came to life, capped by fireworks and the joyful embrace of friends and family as they danced the night away. Tash’s favourite moment? Standing with Theo as fireworks lit up the sky, surrounded by love, laughter, and the timeless glamour of Capri.
