Manda & Dave’s afternoon wedding in a nightclub

A black ballgown, an amazing staircase, and a strategically placed leaf for a statue’s modesty? This wedding in a nightclub has it all, and happened on a Monday afternoon, letting the couple celebrate their anniversary and enjoy a hot venue for a cool price.

Dinos, giant pencils, and a Silly String ambush at this Melbourne wedding

Ben and Heidi are laid-back people and wanted their mid-day lunch wedding to reflect that. And with a black dress, super-charged red hair, dinosaur decor, and a giant pencil for the guest book, it was also really quirky and fun. I love that combination.

Megan & Alex’s baby-postponed DIY hitching of two gamers

So you’re planning a wedding, you’re all set, and then a bundle of joy interrupts? Turned out just fine for this happy family. The postponement and reboot of this small wedding in the mountains gave them time to fold all the origami and prepare all the food for their intimate family-only gathering, with their princess along to play baby-bouquet.

A rockabilly glam Aussie wedding with a little burlesque

Jacinta and Dylan, two Aussies, got hitched in a Castlemaine bar decked out in their chosen lush decor. Jacinta wore a handmade silvery mint green dress and Dylan wore paisley and a bow tie. But the best bits were the live band and BURLESQUE performance!

Sylvia & Tyson’s relaxed bird-themed registry office wedding

This wedding has amazing details like bird-inspired decor, red and black-clad bridesmaids, and the groom’s dad’s band. But not everything went as expected, in particular the “poo scrotum” favors. You read that right. Sometimes last-minute additions can become hilarious surprises.

Laura & Mark’s Australian High Country wilderness wedding

We all flipped for the photo of Laura and Mark traversing the Snowy Mountains in their purple and black duds in a recent Monday Montage. This wedding is just lovely from start to finish. And thankfully, despite the flower girl’s worries, there was no dinosaur attack, just a whole lot of horses milling about.
