Aussie bikini mogul Natasha Oakley stuns in elaborate wedding gown
The model and swimwear success story knows how to make a statement both on and off the beach
Australian bikini mogul Natasha Oakley and liquor heir Theo Chambers tied the knot this month in a breathtaking ceremony in Capri, Italy.
In her custom-designed Steven Khalil wedding dress, the co-owner of Monday Swimwear looked every bit the radiant bride.
Taking to her Instagram, Natasha recently shared the vision behind the dress.
"@Steven_khalil and I designed my dress to be so much more than a classic lace wedding dress," she shared with her 3.4 million followers. "We chose hand embroidery that would glisten in the sun with the shapes of coral and lines reminiscent of the Mediterranean sea." The dress was elegantly complemented by a long lace veil.

Natasha went on to say she wanted her ceremony dress to be classic, modest and "simply beautiful."
Acknowledging her attention to detail, Natasha credited her good friend and stylist, Marina Didovich, for helping her achieve the perfect balance in her accessories. Opting for understated elegance, she paired the dress with delicate Jimmy Choo satin shoes that matched the satin shoulder straps of her dress.
When it came to jewellery, Natasha chose to keep it minimal.
"I didn't want any jewellery other than my engagement ring and a very simple pearl earring," she wrote, "I never knew what kind of bride I wanted to be but it all came together to be something dreams were made of!"
The groom, Theo Chambers, who is the son of Chambers Cellar founder Steven Chambers, looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo, crisp white buttoned shirt, and a bow tie.
The couple's romance has seen its ups and downs since they began dating in 2018, with Theo ultimately proposing during a luxury holiday in Capri in July last year.
Natasha's father, Guy, had the honour of walking her down the aisle, and the couple exchanged heartfelt vows under a stunning white floral arch.
Capri provided the perfect backdrop for their nuptials, and leading up to the big day, the couple and their guests revelled in the charming streets of the island. Their rehearsal dinner at Ristorante Da Giorgio on Friday night set the tone for the lavish weekend. The wedding coincided with another high-profile ceremony, that of millionaire chicken heir Johnny Ingham and socialite Rey Vakili.
Natasha Oakley has not only made her mark as a successful bikini model but has also achieved significant recognition as a co-founder of Monday Swimwear. Her blog, A Bikini A Day, played a pivotal role in her rise to fame and paved the way for her successful ventures in the fashion industry.
