Melbourne-esque Wedding

Being a wedding planner in the Melbourne Wedding industry for coming on 9 years, the pressure was certainly on when it came to my own Wedding! My partner absolutely ADORES Melbourne History, therefore I wanted to create an ionic and truly Melbourne-esque day for my Hubby to Be, that included his passions, along with mine! For me, I wanted to create a WOW factor for our guests, something that no one has experienced prior, and of course something I had never personally coordinated or planned for a previous client before!

Our ceremony was held at The Dome on Collins Street, a gorgeous building rich in history, where our guests travelled by foot and tram to the Iconic State Library of Victoria for the reception. Our reception commenced at 7:00pm with guests enjoying the first 45 minutes in the STUNNING La Trobe Reading room for drinks, canapes and an antipasto grazing station. From here guests were ushered into the The Cowen Gallery for our seated affair. Then, at 10:30pm, we had a super secret room-reveal in the Redmond Barry Reading Room, where the team at Showtime Events Group put on a show – complete with salted caramel espresso martinis, mini roving desserts, late night pizza, a giant chess board, and more! Thankfully I had previously worked with the team at Showtime Events Group, therefore we didn’t even bother to look anywhere else, we knew this venue was ‘the one’. Funnily enough we actually booked the Library from a render design based on the redevelopment project, therefore it almost felt like “buying blind”. The venue absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. As the owner of Every Last Detail Weddings, I specialise in Wedding on the day coordination and end to end wedding planning. I LOVE bringing a client’s vision to life, and helping them to execute everything perfectly.

Top 10 Tips for Brides to Be:

1. Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff. 2. Carry an emergency Kit. 3. Trust in your dream team of suppliers. 4. Think about you and your partner and what YOU want, no one else. 5. Take a moment during your wedding reception to sit back and watch, and think WOW we created this. 6. Put your phone down! You are missing it!! 7. Preparation is key. Write a ‘to do list’ for the 4 weeks leading up to the big day. 8. Fuel up! Make sure to prepare a yummy, and filling breakfast for you to graze on whilst hair & makeup work their magic, think juices (with straws), fruit (nothing that stains or sticks to your teeth) and small nibbly items you can graze on over a period of a few hours. 9. Hydrate! 10. Remember this is a room full of your nearest and dearest, they are here for you and your partner, no one is judging you, you can be 110% uniquely you!
