THE DETAILS
DATE December 1, 2013.
PHOTOGRAPHER Adrian Tuazon
Photography (adriantuazon.com). “Adrian
sees the beauty in simplicity and finds ways
to capture true and authentic moments in
the most beautiful way. He made everyone
feel so comfortable on the day.”
DRESS & VEIL One Day Bridal (oneday
bridal.com.au). “My dress was custom-made
and had a pistachio lining. I always knew I
wanted to have some sort of veil – because
how often do you get to wear one of those?”
JEWELLERY “I wore a killer pair of Mum’s
diamond earrings and a bangle Nick had
bought me for one of my birthdays. I loved
that I didn’t change my jewellery style for
the day – I wanted to look just like me.”
HAIR & MAKEUP Hair by Jacqui at Blow
Out Hair (hairdresser-bentleigh.websyte.
com.au), makeup by Lisa Garner (www.
lisagarner.com.au), and lashes and
brows by Amanda Peterson (amanda
peterson.com.au).
GROOM SUIT Tom Ford at Harrolds
(harrolds.com.au), and shoes from Saint
Laurent Paris (ysl.com/au). “His outfit
ended up costing more than mine!”
BRIDESMAID DRESSES “I told my friends
they could wear what they wanted. Giving
them carte blanche meant that all their
unique personalities could shine through.”
STATIONERY Charl Laubscher (0411 575
282). “Our good friend Charl designed our
food-inspired invitations on tea towels. It
means our loved ones can make use of
them to this day.”
FLOWERS Kathryn at Flowermee (facebook.
com/flowermeefloristbrighton). “Edible
micro herbs added to the ‘urban food forest’
vibe. Everything felt natural and organic.”
CEREMONY & RECEPTION Hare & Grace,
Melbourne, Vic (hareandgrace.com). “We
wanted our ceremony to be in the same
place as the venue so that guests didn’t
have to be shuffled around. It was so
quintessentially Melbourne.”
CATERING “Our delicious menu reflected
my Eastern European heritage. It helped
make our event incredible.”
CAKE Tad at Cioccolato Lombardo
(cioccolatolombardo.com). “The cake was
tempered dark chocolate cabbage leaves
with chocolate almond cake and cherries.”
ENTERTAINMENT DJ Grand Master Baitz
(facebook.com/DJgrandmasterbaitz). “Our
bridal waltz was very special – it was Stay
Close To Me by The Impressions. The song
is from the album Nick and I used to play
when we first started dating and cooked
dinner together to. Nick’s brother Chris
also sang for us, which was so lovely.”
VIDEOGRAPHER Purple Ribbon Weddings
(purpleribbonweddings.com.au).
GUESTS 110.
OVERALL COST $50,000.

“The ceiling
installation was
amazing.”
“Our cake looked
more like a sculpture
than actual food!”
