Tori and Tom
Photographed by Lavan Photography, Tori and Tom married at The Terrace in South Yarra’s Royal Botanic Gardens. The couple invited 120 guests to enjoy their enchanted day, bringing the outdoors in.
“On the last hour, due to rain, the wedding ceremony was moved from garden to deck,” says the bride. “We love being outdoors in nature and wanted to invite that into the wedding, with elements of floral, as well as hints of Dolce and Gabbana’s iconic style, with colours such as gold, white and green integrated throughout the day.”‘
Tori wore a couture gown created with a matte 3D Chanel lace sourced from France via Melbourne’s d’Italia.
Celebrant Bernard Morey married Tori and Tom, and Nikos Cakes created their gorgeous three-tier wedding cake.
Isabelle and Nick
Photographed and filmed by The White Tree, Isabelle and Nick wed in front of 108 family and friends at Stones of the Yarra Valley. After their ceremony in the chapel, the celebrations continued in the modern-style barn.
“We were surrounded by vines and a cute chapel and Tuscan-like buildings. It was truly a fairy tale,” Isabelle says.
Isabelle and Nick’s ceremony was officiated by Celebrant Kate, and Isabelle carried a bouquet created by Blooming Brides.
She wore a gorgeous beaded gown by Raffaele Ciuca Bridal and Men’s Formal Wear, and had her makeup professionally done by Lisa Cathcart.
Isabelle’s bridesmaids wore uniformed bridesmaid dress from Fame & Partners.
Tanique and Shane
Photographed by Dijana Risteska and filmed by CineStyle Studio, Tanique and Shane exchanged vows at their modern wedding held at Mon Bijou in Melbourne’s Flinders Lane. 75 family and friends headed to the glamorous penthouse venue that took in spectacular views of the city skyline.
“Our wedding day was magical and we loved every minute,” Tanique says. “It was stylish and sleek with a pop of glam, and the reception was a non-stop party.”
Melbourne’s trendy laneways provided some perfect locations for the wedding photos.
Tanique wore a gorgeous strapless Demetrios Bridal design, purchased from Raffaele Ciuca Bridal and Men’s Formal Wear.
And their three-tiered cake was a Nikos Cakes creation.
Dani and John
Photographed by Studio 477 Photographic Art and videoed by Allure Productions, Dani and John married among 210 guests. The grand soiree took place at the Regent Theatre Plaza Ballroom in Melbourne’s CBD, and embodied pure elegance through and through.

Dani and John booked their wedding transport with Melbourne Star Chauffeured Cars, Exotic Limo, and Bentley Flying Spur Limousines.
At the end of the night, Dani and John said a farewell to their guests on a horse and carriage, which took them for a midnight stroll through the CBD before taking them to Grand Hyatt Melbourne.
