Harriet and Chloe were married in northern Italy. "The feeling of family is so important to us and we wanted to somehow bring that into our wedding lunch. When we have friends around to eat at home we always do it ‘family style’ so wanted to mirror this at the wedding – we (mostly Chloe’s mum!) collected over 50 vintage platters to serve the food on, Chloe and her mum also made the tablecloths. Our priority was not to sweat the small stuff and to make the best out of what we

Juliann and Rayhan had 54 guests at their Italian destination wedding. "It was the perfect size: intimate enough to feel personal, yet full of energy. We felt incredibly lucky to have so many loved ones make the trip, including long time friends of Rayhan’s who travelled from across the globe, even as far as Singapore. The entire weekend felt like a dream."

When Willemina and Hayden first visited their venue they knew it was the one for them. "The sage oaks, the gentle roll of the hills, the way the mulberry trees were woven into natural canopies overhead - it all spoke warmly to us. It felt so right as we were looking to be surrounded by the outdoors at a location our friends and family could travel to with ease. On our wedding day,  we were transported into a different world with our nearest and dearest, a world that was entir

Isabella and Tom were married in South Australia where they live. "We wanted a setting that captured a warm European family vibe at “Nonna’s Country Home” - relaxed, beautiful and full of love. It was just as much about our guests as it was about us. We wanted everyone to have the best time with great music, amazing food and drinks, and a real sense of ‘friends  are family too’."

Alexis and Alexander had a small church wedding, followed by a larger ceremony and reception. "For our religious ceremony we wanted it to be private and intimate. We knew we wanted to have a larger, destination celebration with all of our friends and family shortly afterwards. We chose to have our larger celebration in Maine because it’s a very special place for Alex. We wanted a place where all of our friends and family could come for an entire weekend to celebrate our love.

Keyana and Linus invited around 30 guests each, keeping their wedding small and intentional. "We wanted the wedding to feel more like a really great house party than a formal event, laid-back, fun and full of the people we genuinely spend the most time with. The focus for us was never on the numbers, but on creating an atmosphere where everyone felt at home and part of something really personal."

Other than great food and music, it was very important to Mikey and Dez to be able to share a unique space with their friends and family, especially guests from out of town. "We focused a lot of attention on the ceremony, adding things like draping, a Spanish guitarist, a string quartet, and personal handwritten notes for every attendee. It was also important for us to share our vows out loud - I personally needed to hear this man profess his undying love for me in front of e

Clarissa and Teddy wanted their wedding to feel very British in every way. " Partly because I wanted our American friends to feel the charm and magic of the seaside the way we do: fish and chips, bacon butties, scallop shells for ash trays, mushy peas, really late sunsets, seagulls and pints. We wanted it to look like Martin Parr’s nostalgic Britannia photo series!"

Abby and Eli eloped in Florence. "We wanted a wedding with all the meaning and none of the pressure. Florence was an easy choice: history, romance, and food—our holy trinity. As a bonus, the city has been meaningful to people we love. We turned it into a trip we’ll never forget, centred around a ceremony that felt personal, grounded, and entirely our own. Something small, intimate, and considered felt like the way to go."

Annika and Elias had a micro-wedding in Tuscany with 40 guests. "Our main goal was to have a fun day with our friends and family and really be in the moment. We intentionally skipped a few traditions and tried to keep the schedule light, so we wouldn’t feel rushed. We also opted to stick to playlists instead of hiring a band or a DJ to save money. Instead we spent a lot of time creating playlists for each chapter of the day, which was an amazing activity for date nights."

Emily and Andrew made every decision based on what they wanted that night to look like, not what other people wanted that night to look like or what a wedding "should" look like, "Stuff like unconventional vows, decor, the cocktail hour playlist, etc. I think that really made our wedding a special experience not only for us, but our guests, as well."

Stephanie wore a two-piece skirt and corset set for her and David's wedding in Chicago. "I loved the idea of re-wearing the corset on future anniversaries with a silk slip skirt or even jeans. The pleating on the skirt is truly a work of art, and so comfortable that I wore it all day and all night (even in 100°F weather). We purposely kept the skirt hem a bit long so that I could pick it up while walking, which felt so romantic—for that reason, I actually didn’t carry my bouq

From the very beginning, Julia and Anthony spent countless conversations not just imagining how their wedding would look or flow, but how it would feel— "and how we’d feel once it was all over. More than anything, we wanted this celebration to bring our world of cherished people closer together. Our deepest hope was that by the end of the weekend, strangers would feel like old friends, and that this moment would plant the seeds of new connections, shared laughter, and lasting

Sarah and Jonas had a low-key courthouse wedding after a short engagement. "We wanted something low stress and that felt like us. I have family from all over and Jonas is from Germany. Having all of our favorite people in one room is very rare, so we wanted to be able to soak up every minute rather than stressing about details!"

Ali and Jack wanted their wedding to feel fun and intimate. "A big traditional ceremony never really resonated with us, and we loved the idea of a civil ceremony.  New York has always been a special place to us, and we wanted to make our wedding feel like the most fun version of a weekend in the city, but with all of our loved ones. Starting it off with our civil ceremony on Friday afternoon let us exhale a little bit and spend the rest of the weekend focused on enjoying all

Emma and Phillip were married in Melbourne. "Emma is Chinese Australian and she wanted to make sure that every step along the way there were details that respected her heritage. This included the custom welcome artwork with dragon and phoenix, symbolising marital harmony, translated vows and red as the supporting colour. "

Mimi always had a feeling that she wouldn’t have a traditional wedding. "Once we got engaged and started researching, eloping in Italy just felt right. We explored a few options in the US close to home but there was something so romantic about Italy that drew us in. We ultimately chose Hotel Le Fontanelle, located in the Chianti region of Tuscany. Every corner of the property is absolutely stunning. "

Alex’s parents have lived in France for a while now and wanting to have a weekend celebration, it always made sense to do it there. "For Ben good food, booze and music were key. For Alex attention to detail was important and everything needed to look stunning. Perfect partnership really!"

Sophie and Chris always felt that the venue would be the most important part—if we chose the right one, half the work would be done. "So we invested a lot of time researching. With Sophie’s family in China and Chris’s in the U.S., we settled on the idea of a destination wedding in Europe."

Cheree and Will chose to hold an intimate, private ceremony in their hotel suite at Crown Towers with only their bridal party in attendance. "That quiet, personal moment felt deeply meaningful and set the tone for the entire day — a celebration of our love in a space that felt like our own. The day we chose as our wedding day also happened to be the date of our 10 year anniversary. For the reception, Vue De Monde was a natural choice. We wanted elegance, extravagance and impe
