Given the current climate, can we still stay at a hotel on our wedding night?

This might sound kind of stupid but the thing is, my fiance and I are still living with parents for the next month or so. The pandemic kind of stuffed up and delayed our moving out plans and we are getting married in two and a half weeks. I don't know if with all the travel bands we can just take one night to ourselves to isolate in a different location after we do our small ceremony.

What's the best way to store my wedding dress?

Hi, I am getting married in August (fingers crossed) and I'm due to pick up my wedding dress at the end of May. I have seen on my wedding dress suppliers social media that they only provide a carry bag for dresses and obviously I want to look after the dress in the best possible way before the wedding. I am looking into purchasing a dress bag that will keep my dress safe before and after the wedding. Can you recommend any dress bags, places in Australia would be preferred.

How does hiring a wedding stylist actually work?

So my fiance and I know absolutely nothing about wedding stylists. For example, how much does one typically cost? In all of my research so far, I have been quoted any amount from $900-$5000 and really don't know what is normal. Also, are the prices of packages generally the cost of the entire service? For example, if I've been quoted $2500, is that how much I will pay for the entire styling, or will I have to pay on top of that for supplies? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, I just honestly don't know and am not sure how much to budget for! Thank you!
