Modern meets timeless at this lace & romance Melbourne wedding

Modern meets timeless at this lace & romance Melbourne wedding

Jessie and Matthew’s gorgeous St. Kilda wedding was a celebration of the couple’s Jewish culture and heritage and their amazing commitment to each other. The combination of antique chic and romantic styling created a blend as unique as they are. Jessie and Matthew drew inspiration from their venue and their own personal style, striving to create intimacy in the midst of Melbourne, Australia.

Zara met Daniel met when he came to dance at her Ballet School in Canberra, Australia. The wedding itself was inspired by their latest trip to Italy after they had fallen in love with the Tuscan countryside. They chose The Stones venue because it reminded them of Italy and incorporated soft pinks and rose gold into their color palette.

Zara had two dresses made by a designer in Russia sight unseen and they turned out so well. Whatever you do, don’t miss the gorgeous filigree rose gold leaf heels by Ralph and Russo.

Stephanie & James’ Snow White meets Americana retro wedding

A float-y princess gown, some retro stylings, a few train-lover photos, and much much adorableness abounds at this Aussie wedding. We also love the carriage ride, the DIY bits an bobs, and of course, the rainbow sprinkle cake! Add in the blended cultural group dance and impromptu “stair-tripping” game, and you’re in for an easy-going and rad time for all (even if they had to smoosh 130 people into a ceremony space meant for 50!).

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.
