Black, White & Blush Melbourne Wedding: Sophie & Kyle
I found my dream dress at Christina Rossi. The gown was not something I had in mind, but when my stylist suggested it, I was excited to give it a go. As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the one! It has a timeless and elegant feel with the simple bustier, combined with the couture glamour of a large, layered gown. As the dress made such a statement, I chose a simple, full length and sheer veil to match.
On the day, my incredibly talented hair stylist, Shannon, created a timeless, middle parting glamour wave for me, whilst my celebrity and award-winning make-up artist, Shiree did a natural soft glam look, with nude tones.

The Ceremony
We walked down the aisle to ‘Can’t help falling in love with you’ by Haley Reinhart. It is such a romantic song to walk down the aisle to! My favourite part is when the lyrics go, “Wise men say, only fools rush in. But I can’t help falling in love with you”. For us, it couldn’t be truer. In fact, we got engaged after just three months of dating, so you could definitely say we were rushing in. However, we had no regrets because we couldn’t help but fall deeply in love!
Wedding Decor
For the ceremony, there was already a lot of lush greenery in the outdoor courtyard, so we focused on the florals on the arch. We filled the entire arch with gorgeous blush and white florals, which tied in perfectly with the reception. A special thank you to our florist for an incredible job!
We choose simple white napkins and tablecloths for the reception, and we styled it with varying levels of glass pillar candles and large rose bouquets (with hand-peeled petals).
Each guest had their name laser-cut out of rose gold mirror acrylic for their place cards. We also had custom-made ruby and white raspberry Belgium chocolate bonbonnieres, which were presented in a white box and finished with a white ribbon. We really enjoyed the finer details when it came to styling. We included two matching rose gold mirror acrylic stands for the Cakeaway bags (yes, we made that up for rose gold foiled takeaway cake bags) and the wishing well. We also included matching rose bouquets by the Cakeaway station. We used white orchards by the bar, wishing well, and on our cake.
Most Memorable Moments
Sophia: I think it was walking down the aisle and seeing Kyle looking at me tenderly. I also enjoyed looking down the long reception table and seeing all our loved ones enjoying themselves.
Kyle: It was the ceremony. My favourite memory was seeing Sophia walk down the aisle and hearing her vows.
