Coming from a hospitality background, Roxy and Isaac knew exactly what they wanted when it came to food, wine and service, for their Sydney wedding. We are suckers for a good interior too!

Mariane and Lem always knew they wanted to host their reception in a restaurant because they wanted it to feel like one big dinner party. "There are no rules; find out which parts of the wedding bring you joy and invest in those areas. And at last, take a moment or two in the night to look out at your guests. There are only so many times you’ll be surrounded by your loved ones from all over the world."

It was important for Sasha and Peter to incorporate traditions, but they took a liberal approach. "We picked and chose which customs and traditions felt authentic to us and our relationship, researched the meaning, history and purpose, and incorporated this throughout the day. We created our own program for our ceremony which felt extremely personal to us and our values."

Misha and Matthew wanted to incorporate local artists and French tradition into their intimate wedding in Paris. "We chose a local pianist to play throughout the dinner and an artist that provided portraits to the guests.

At the end of the day, it had to feel like us, and it did 100%."

Annie and Matthew had just over fifty close friends and family at their Wildflower Farms wedding. "Follow your intuition and let your day be a reflection of you.

We chose elements that held meaning for us, even investing in decor we knew we’d use in our home."

Léa and Ben had a civil wedding followed by a masquerade ball celebration in Paris. "We really went out of our way to welcome our guests. We tasted the wines, the cocktails, and tailored the menu to every single bite that was offered that night. We even gave a lot of thought about the icing on the cake and the cake itself given we're not fans of wedding cakes: so we opted for Cyril Lignac’s famous marshmallow teddy bear cake, which we had delivered to the restaurant.

Emily and Mike weren’t overly keen on a formal ceremony, so they decided to get married at Marylebone Town Hall – an iconic London venue.

It made it much more relaxed and set the tone for the rest of the day."

Roslyn and Abheek are obsessed with the magic of the Amalfi Coast. "We are drawn to the dramatic landscapes and incredible food.
