SILVER FERN KELLY JURY'S PERFECT  WEDDING'S

It doesn't get more picture perfect from the brilliant blue sky and stunning Mt Taranaki looming over the luxury venue, to the impeccable styling and gorgeous flowers, it was a beautiful day for Silver Ferns superstar Kelly Jury to marry the love of her life, Cameron Jackson.

You'd never know the entire celebration was arranged in just two weeks - mostly from the United Kingdom, where the netballer was away playing for New Zealand.

With family being more important than an elaborate wedding, Kelly, 27, says the couple hastily pulled together the ceremony to ensure her beloved grandfather Graeme Walter was around to attend.

"I honestly don't know how we managed to do it," Kelly tells Woman's Day after her dream nuptials. "We had planned to get married this December, but my grandfather was really sick over the Christmas period and things were looking a bit touch-and-go.

"I had to leave for a Silver Ferns tour to England and after a week over there, with Poppa being settled, we decided to lock in the 5th of February, so the wedding planning began very quickly!" With the help of Kelly's mum Robyn and Cam's mother Suzie in Aotearoa, hindered only slightly by the 12-hour time difference, the athlete began to map out her big day.

While Mum and Dad scoped out the venue, Platinum Lodge & Spa in Kelly's Taranaki hometown of Stratford, she booked a photographer and caterer. "It really helped that we were getting married on a Monday they were all available!" laughs Kelly.

Then everything else began to fall into place.

Kelly even managed to have a dress made thanks to the help of a Jackson family friend, Christine Bell, who whipped up a beautifully simple halter-neck gown that fit her 1.96m frame perfectly.
