ANIMALS EVERYWHERE!
Animals will of course play a huge part in the wedding of the Crocodile Hunter’s daughter.
“Koalas on our wedding day is a MUST,” Bindi wrote on Instagram, with Chandler agreeing, “It only makes sense that we include our Australia Zoo family in on our special day.”
Trudy says the pair will probably want to include their beloved elephant too.
“Unfortunately they [recently] lost their third elephant cub. I know for Bindi there would be an emotional connection to that enclosure,” Trudy explains.
“Then you’d get all the guests onto a train and take them down to the African Savannah and that’s where you’ve got this amazing open-plan space with palm trees. A lot of those animals are put back at 5pm, but I think the cheetahs will still roam through that area.”
OUTDOOR DANCE FLOOR
Bindi won the US version of Dancing with the Stars in 2015 and she certainly has a talent for the foxtrot.
Trudy expects an outdoor dance floor will be a priority for the wildlife crusader.
“They can’t go with a marquee with a white cover. With an area like Australia Zoo, it’s got to be clear, you’ve got to see the stars above you,” she says.
“She’s going to have a big outdoor dance floor – she won Dancing With the Stars! A dance floor with overhead lights would be stunning.”
ELEPHANT POO INVITATIONS
Bindi and Chandler share a love for the environment and Trudy believes the eco-warriors will keep their wedding as sustainable as possible.
“Both Bindi and Chandler are the ultimate in everything being sustainable and recyclable, so from every element of their day, they’re going to really want that to come true. And that could start from the very beginning,” Trudy says.
“Elephant poo makes the most beautiful recycled wedding invitation paper. So they could use the elephant poo they have on site to make their invitations.”
REMEMBERING STEVE
Steve Irwin passed away in 2006 when Bindi was only 8, and the bride-to-be is bound to honour her dad during her wedding.
“It’s about acknowledging Steve in the most beautiful way. But also making sure the focus is always on the two of them,” Trudy says.
“Bindi has a brother, and she can walk down the aisle with Robert. That would be amazing.”
Bindi echoed this sentiment in a interview: “I think that’s what Dad would have wanted as well,” she said. Bindi also said she’ll be dancing with her mum Terri in lieu of the traditional father-daughter dance during her reception.
