Isabel and Fabian were married in Austria, where they both grew up. "The main goal was to give our guests and ourselves two days full of connection and closeness, sensory experiences for the eyes, ears, mouth and heart and, above all, to celebrate love. We wanted our wedding to be warm, exciting, heartfelt, inspiring, cozy, exuberant, free, and romantic."

"For our elopement the focus was about the two of us and the life we were stepping into together. We sat side by side in the morning and wrote our vows, reflecting on the defining moments of our relationship, our hopes for the future, and the promises we wanted to make in marriage. "

Cameron studied architecture, so the Art Gallery of NSW has always held a special place in her heart. "I spent countless hours here during uni, coming back often for assignments, inspiration, and a bit of quiet. The arches in the Main Hall have always been one of my favourite details, and I’d dreamed for years about creating something meaningful in that space — so hosting our wedding there felt incredibly natural and personal."

"More than anything, we wanted our guests to have an incredible experience. Keeping the guest list intimate meant we could truly connect with everyone and share the day in a meaningful way. Exceptional food was a must, as was choosing a venue where everything could unfold seamlessly in one beautiful location.Inside the reception, we wanted it to feel like an elevated, romantic dinner party. "

Art and colour were important elements for Annabelle and Rémy's wedding. "Our friends made it come alive in the most beautiful way. We asked anyone who wanted to create flags or floating artworks to hang in the field to decorate, and they turned it into something magical. Our friends even painted about ten portraits of us — it was such a personal and creative touch."

For Lucy and Lucy colour was an important part of their wedding. "From guests in colourful cocktail attire to our bright dresses which matched the florals - we wanted the joy and fun to ooze throughout the celebration! We also wanted everyone to feel involved, so there were little ways for guests to join in and add their own sparkle. We were lucky to have lots of talented and keen friends and family contribute to the weekend."

Erin and Dan had a destination wedding. "Dan's family is from Italy, and it's one of our favourite places to visit. We decided very early on that we wanted a smaller overseas wedding and time to travel on either side of it. We wanted the focus to be on quality time rather than just a one-day celebration, and we feel very lucky to have shared such meaningful moments with our family and friends over there."

Travel has been a huge part of Lexie and Jarrett's relationship. "It’s something that we both prioritize and brings us so much joy, and adventure and inspiration. We had taken a trip to Sicily together a few years prior and fell in love with the Italian way of life: the food, the architecture, the people, the dolce far niente of it all. When we started our venue search, Tuscany came up and felt right. It was the perfect blend of relaxed yet chic, naturally beautiful without n

Much of Morgan and Sam's relationship has been built around intimate getaways in nature, including a few fall weekends in the Catskills. "When we started planning the wedding, we knew we didn’t want a city setting. The Catskills, almost perfectly equidistant between our families in Massachusetts and our friends in New York, felt like the perfect middle ground."

Syd and Terahn had a micro-wedding with just seven guests. "The phrase we kept repeating throughout our planning was “Relaxed, but chic”. We ultimately wanted it to feel easy and intimate, while still putting effort into making it elegant. Most of all, we wanted our families to enjoy a fun, memorable weekend together with great food."

Erin and Adam took nearly 4 years after getting engaged to finally plan a wedding. "We were responsible for the bill, so we wanted to invest in only a few things that truly mattered to us. More than that, we wanted it to be as convenient as possible. We’re at such a special time in our life where essentially all of our friends and chosen family are in or around NYC, so the city felt like a natural choice for our celebration. "

Miranda and Jon were married in their family's backyard in London. "We wanted a laid-back wedding that people could enjoy without having to take time off work or travel abroad. Miranda got ready at her parents’ house and we went home together (a 15-minute cab ride) at the end of the night."

Phoebe and Fabio met in Verona in 2021. "I was studying Italian and Fabio was about to make a big life change and leave Italy for Munich. Somehow with time  between Italy, France, Scotland and Germany, we beat the distance and got married on our four-year anniversary!"

Emily and Andrew wanted the day to feel like a party with all of their closest friends and family, while honouring both of their mothers whom they have lost. "That is exactly how it felt. It was 26 degrees (rare for June in England). Overall the day felt relaxed and full of love, which was exactly how we wanted it to feel."

Sophie and Cameron wanted their day to feel like a wedding either of their parents might have had in the 1980s. "A priest officiated, we had a bridal party, matching bridesmaids’ dresses, white linens, buffet-style food, and plenty of dancing to pre-2000s hits. My mom gave me Martha Stewart’s 1987 book Weddings while we were in the midst of planning, which definitely had some influence."

"We knew a big, traditional wedding just wasn't really our vibe. We wanted to celebrate our love in a slower, romantic, and intimate way where we truly got to soak in every moment. We decided to elope at the Miami Courthouse, with only a photographer, cousin, and city official in attendance. Short, sweet, and kind of charming in a government-office kind of way. "

Kara and Grant had some fun with their outfits. "We knew that for the ceremony we wanted to keep it chic and classic, while still adding details that felt unique to us such as Kara’s custom fish bone earrings designed by a dear friend and her green Prada shoes, as well as Grant’s pheasant bow tie/fish pin. But when it was time to party, we amped it up! "

Savannah and Julia have always celebrated their independence and personalised their wedding traditions to best represent them. "We are keeping our last names and didn’t do any formal dances. It was one big dance party with Savannah as DJ. We also avoided buying new things to put in circulation. We went with digital save-the-dates and invites; sourced decor from FB Marketplace, our local Buy Nothing Group, and our newly married friends."

Ridhima and Nikhil always knew they wanted a destination wedding—"something that felt like a big holiday with all our favourite people in one place. Being born in Jaipur, I had always dreamed of a wedding in Rajasthan. Nikhil, on the other hand, imagined the Caribbean, a place filled with family memories and sunshine. To meet in the middle (quite literally!), we started exploring Europe and narrowed it down to Italy or Spain and ended up finding a Jaipur-inspired venue in Sev

While Madeline and Tanner's plan was always to elope – their family and friends wanted to be there for the moment. "So after much discussion, a micro-wedding abroad felt like the perfect compromise. In retrospect, we’re so grateful. We wanted a new place to explore and the environment to be elevated but carefree. I narrowed my search to the south of France for its style, its energy, and the guarantee of good food and wine. "
