Hello May

Suffice to say we’re infatuated by this soiree – a Melbourne church ceremony and winery reception celebrating the union of Natalie and Andrew. “We toured a handful of venues before deciding on Marnong Estate Winery,” the pair share. “It was less of a ‘reception room’ and more of a destination. With beautiful gardens, accommodation, and spectacular views of the rolling hills and countryside from the reception space. It was also home to many animals, like peacocks and camels which added to the appeal.

Black Finch Jewellery is proud to introduce the Men’s Engagement Collection – a contemporary series of engagement rings and adornments designed to celebrate commitment beyond traditional conventions.

Mitch proposed to Georgia on the beach in a way that felt completely natural to them both. “No big production, just the two of us. It felt really personal and special, which is exactly what we wanted.” Nine months later, their wedding day carried that same energy: minimalist, personal and deeply intentional. The Old Treasury Building was where they chose to be wed before celebrating with a cozy and refined restaurant reception at Hazel.

On a sun-kissed summer day in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, Tess and Darcy got married. 109 loved ones, including their own trio of kiddos, came to cheer the couple on, gathering at Farm Vigano (a little taste of Italy overlooking Plenty Valley Gorge). In a sea of special moments, the couple told us their first look stands out. The bride in Prea James with Amelie George earrings; the groom sporting Peter Jackson and a M.J. Bale bow tie.

Better than the plot of your favourite romantic movie, Gemma met Jamie while on a year-long trip touring Australia. “I just knew she was the one,” says Gemma, who proposed six sweet months after the two first crossed paths in-person. “Our second date lasted two weeks, if I didn’t have to get back to my job at the time as a travel photographer and leave the state, our date never would have ended.” The wedding-day brief?
