After attending six weddings in one year, Amy Weeks and Nicolas Alridge knew exactly what they wanted for their day!<\/p>\n

Their glam winter wedding saw guests in black tie and the bride in a stunningly unique gown. Even the bridesmaids were dressed like they were attending an event on par with the Golden Globes. Amy and Nicolas, 27 and 30 respectively, met as friends while studying and now both work as secondary school teachers. So it was appropriate they chose a school as their ceremony location.<\/p>\n

\u201cI attended All Hallows\u2019 and so did my sister and mother, so an old girl I could not go past the beautiful heritage listed chapel with the stunning backdrop of the Story Bridge and Brisbane River,\u201d explains Amy. Their reception followed at The Brisbane Polo Club. \u201cOur speeches were heartfelt, the food was delicious and our guests looked glamorous in their black tie attire.\u201d<\/p>\n

And oh the dress. The shimmer champagne gown with sheer top, high neckline and ruffled cap sleeves, matched by an Ostrich feather cape \u2013 both by Elizabeth de Varga \u2013 was Amy\u2019s dream come true. \u201cIt was the first dress I tried on\u2026I tried more dresses, but couldn\u2019t stop thinking about the original.\u201d<\/p>\n
