These destinations and gorgeous designer outfit ideas are guaranteed to get the conversation flowing and the sparks flying. You can thank us later – and don’t forget our wedding invite!
1. Wendy’s Secret Garden, Lower North Shore
This may well be the most romantic spot in Sydney. Perched in the Lavender Bay parklands in the Lower North Shore, this secluded destination is the perfect catalyst to romance. With sweeping views of the harbour, we recommend that you pack a picnic of sandwiches, pastries and champagne to woo your date. This date calls for a cute and whimsical look – try the Zimmerman Mercer Flutter Dress to make a gorgeous impression.
2. Cooking Classes, Rozelle
Food and fun together – this one is a bit of a winner! The Essential Ingredient in Rozelle offers excellent cooking classes with different cuisines on offer – try your hand at making noodles from scratch, attempting a souffle or even whip up some Greek mezze. Helping each other to make delicious dishes is a bonding experience and you will soon know if you are compatible or not. Wear something sophisticated but practical for this date that says ‘I got this’ – like the Misha Collection Octavia Jumpsuit.
3. Skyline Drive-in Cinema, Blacktown
Cosy and kitsch, Blacktown’s Skyline Drive-In Cinema is perfect for a first date with someone you’ve been crushing on for a while. Stock up on snacks and snuggle up in this Anthea Crawford Ivory Cold Shoulder top and Josh Goot Dark Peony Pencil skirt.
