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.

She wore a gorgeous beaded gown by Raffaele Ciuca Bridal and Men’s Formal Wear, and had her makeup professionally done by Lisa Cathcart.

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.

Dani and John booked their wedding transport with Melbourne Star Chauffeured Cars, Exotic Limo, and Bentley Flying Spur Limousines.
