Happy Chocolate Day! 🐰 @zurizuzu22 got a whole bag of bones and we got a a whole bag of chocolate and spent the day with the people we love! Hope you all had a good one too! X
Girls just wanna have fun! 👗 I love dressing up in pretty frocks just as much as the next girl (one of my fave parts of my job) and my goodness are there some gorgeous gowns at @thesposagroupadelaide 🤩.
The funniest part of the story is that Banks/B/Bianca (my bff) was my MOH/Bride tribe captain on my/our 🤭wedding day and with her passion for styling beautiful brides she would have killed to see me in a bridal gown, yet I opted for an ‘off the rack’, but stunning Lisa Ho drape silk dress (that I bought 2 weeks before our big day 🫣) and a gorgeous muslin and denim @_aje_ dress for the party. Both designer, both very ‘me’, but they weren’t ’bridal gowns’. Banks still cried when I tried on my wedding dress and then she cried again last week when I tried on some of the beautiful gowns in her gorgeous boutique!
Finally her dreams came true! She got me into a ‘proper’ wedding gown and I must say I felt oh so pretty and very special! It was nice to see it from the other side- what the experience is like for my beautiful brides with an awesome stylist.
Bianca and Amelia are honestly the best and I’m not just saying that coz I love them…promise.
Book in for a fitting at @thesposagroupadelaide soon if you’re looking for a gorgeous quality gown with vip service at a realistic price.
“We had the honour of having Vicky as our marriage celebrant last week!
She was one of the first vendors we booked when we first started planning our wedding in 2023! The moment we met Vicky we knew she was the best/right person to marry us! We discussed what we wanted a modern and funny ceremony with a few religious sentiments mixed in and Vicky not only met our expectations she absolutely exceeded them. She told our love story so perfectly, her comedic timing is incredible we could not be happier.
Vicky was on top of all the administrative stuff and no question was ever a hassle for us.
Vicky we are glad you are always going to be a part of our day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Mitchell and Nikki”

I honestly marry the BEST couples! Nikki and Mitch are two of the loveliest humans to walk this earth and I am thrilled I could be a part of their gorgeous wedding journey!

Thursday was the perfect day for an intimate celebration of with these two sentimental and cheeky characters!
The 3rd of April was very mindfully selected by our grooms.... after a teensy bit of encouragement from their beautiful mums.... because serendipitously, the 3rd of April happens to be both of their parents anniversary date! And now it is theirs too! How cool is that 🥰.
From the moment I met Chris and Loz, I knew I had to be the one to marry them and share their beautiful story. We instantly clicked with our playful banter, shared love of wine, passion for entertaining, and a deep appreciation for the important people in our lives.
Their wedding day was a true reflection of this—celebrated in the beautiful Wine Garden at @beachroadwines, with Nick from @himandhermusic setting the mood with their live wedding soundtrack (check out my stories to hear him play).
Congratulations and thank you Chris and Loz! X

THIS FEELING is what I’m all about!!! That ‘just hitched’ joyful goodness that’s contagious and illuminates everyone’s hearts! 🥰
Also Damon and Emma’s confetti toss was absolutely on point! Their guests made it rain as they smiled from ear to ear and this incredible moment in time was captured perfectly by the legendary Wade from @movement_productions (always love working with Wade) 👏👏👏.
Congratulations beautiful two! It was honestly a treat to marry you both on Saturday at @themanorbasketrange ❤️.

BTS yesterday 📷! My photo shoot and mini vid creation at the brand new @travisandbennystudio !
I found out something interesting about myself during this shoot…turns out I am A LOT more comfortable during a #nodoovers moment at a wedding standing in front of 100 people vs. lit up in a studio recording a video and trying to bring the ‘Vic factor’ (go figure), but Travis and Ben looked after me so bloody well! I felt oh so pretty and quite comfortable in no time!
The telly prompter worked a treat too and the light was delicious…ain’t no one looking bad in that lighting 🤩.
Cannot wait see the final result 🤗.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart legends! I always love your work ❤️
Short story…whatever kids do is super sweet and quite often hilarious when they play a part in weddings 🤣.
As long as we keep our expectations realistic, focus on what’s actually important and are willing to have a laugh kids they are so gorgeous as a part of your day if you have significant little ones you wish to have involved 💖.
Man I could tell you some funny stories 😂
Renee + Matt 22.2.25 | After nearly 5 years together creating a beautiful family and life in their little house by the sea with their adorable little girl….and we can’t forget fur-baby Bella… Renee and Matt are already solely committed to one another.
Their personalities and outlook on life are genuinely complimentary, so Matt and Renee wanted to shout it from the rooftops the that the commitment they have made and continue to make to one another is final, they are one and done!
And it was a truly stunning day!
The already beautiful @coriole was enhanced by Renee and Matt’s stylish vision including pops of vibrant reds and pink, bought together by the very talented Brooke from @love_thebeautifullife and Sam from @samburnellfloraldesign (their Frenchie Bella might have eaten her floral collar though…sorry Sam 😎).
Oh and Renee! That dress on you 😍.
This day didn’t only look good it also felt incredible with a very heartfelt, but also light ceremony, including everyone and everything these two adore in their lives!

Maya + Matt | Their epic wedding day was a loooong time coming…Picture this, it’s their first year of medical school and with a beer in hand Matt’s chillin at the edge of the dance floor at Sugar night club enjoying an O’week refresher club night with his mate Jimmy by his side when this stunning vison of woman saunters across the dance floor…
In that moment romantic Matt turns to his mate and says…
“Now that’s the most beautiful girl I have ever seen…. I’m gonna marry her one day…”
And boy oh boy was past Matt right about that…
But before you can marry the love of your life, you need to ask a certain question first and Matt decided the perfect place to do this was when they were snowboarding in the French alps…
First of all, we are pretty thankful the ring actually made it to the proposal moment, because Matt kept the ring box ‘safely’ in his jacket pocket for the entire trip and it was only the battered ring box that protected it from all the epic stacks he made…
The ring box bruise imbedded in his belly at the end of the week clearly speaks to his amazing skills as a snowboarder.
But who needs a ring box when you have a stunning rock, fire wood to build a romantic and warm fire in your cosy chalet along with some French champagne to celebrate afterward…I mean when in France you may as well…
Because that vison of the woman that Matt knew he was going to marry one day, said yesss in that incredible moment!
Such an AWESOME couple! So full of life and life! Congratulations legends ❤️

Happy Birthday Beautiful B 💖. Banks (Bianca) has been right by my side as one of my biggest supporters since we were 15 y.o (that’s a bloody long time 😳).
When we lived together in a little apartment in Glenelg in our 20’s we would eat strawberry Freddos on our futon sipping rose and laugh about being grown up Barbies who lived together 😂.
For as long as I can remember Banks would talk wistfully about opening up her dream bridal boutique one day.
Since then we travelled the world and Oz, she found her British ‘Ken’ in the UK when styling stunning brides at Harrods and I met my very Aussie ‘Ken’ at the @thecrankerhotel while following a local punk rock band we both knew and loved!
We could nit be more different and yet we have stuck by each other and love each other dearly.
Banks has been my high school bus buddy, roommate, Hayman Island Bestie, maid of honour and always the person at the other end of the phone whenever I need her.
Last October she finally opened up her dream bridal boutique in Unley @thesposagroupadelaide and I could not be more proud of her!
You deserve all that is good in this world and so much success my fabulous friend. Love you 💖.

Jenna + Luke 15.2.25 | We actually know the exact moment Luke found the love of his life because it was caught on camera.
This photo has Jenna in the foreground, having the time of her life, thongs stolen from a stranger’s feet at the pub in her hand, thong slapping to Chicken Fried and drinking Jim Beam.
And Luke in the background with a look on his face that says it all....
“Ah f**k she’s a keeper”
He wasn’t wrong…
Jenna and Luke have clearly met their person, the one that ‘gets’ them more than they ever thought possible, the one they want to drink beam with and laugh at for the rest of their lives.
CRACKING country couple that definitely know how to throw a good shindig! ❤️

Raya + Angie 22.2.25 | “This is a special place, a place where you have brought beautiful living plants, here to establish them, to nurture and care for them, that they may forever surround us with the beauty we now see. And into this place where we stand, you have brought something beautiful — the relationship that is becoming your marriage. Here you are declaring it and pledging it, promising to establish and nurture it.
We are aware of the special beauty between the two of you, just as we are aware of the special beauty of this place.
We are with you now in this appropriate place to celebrate your relationship as it is and as it is yet to be, and in doing so, we ask only that you remember how your life together will have the same seasons and needs as this garden.
There will be growth like Spring and loss like Autumn; there will be giving as the blossoming flower, and rest as the seed beneath the frost. All the seasons will be yours, but remember, too, that gardens are not just happenings. The more wonderful the garden, the more skilled the gardener.
So you will have to care deeply for the life that is yours together, and nurture it. You will have to appreciate your differences and cultivate them. You will have to take care of yourself, if for no other reason than out of love for the other. And you will need the support of each other to reach full growth.
As you caringly chose this place to declare your marriage, so remember its lessons for your life together through the seasons that are yours to share. And may those seasons bring you and yours joy and happiness…”
This reading shared by Raya’s bro says it all! Raya and Angie are two of the warmest most down to earth, gorgeous humans you could ever meet and the abundance of love felt in their garden last weekend is a tribute to them both and the incredible life they have created with all of their people.
Congratulations gorgeous two and thank you ❤️
If this is your vibe get in touch lovelies 🤗.
In short…
Your wedding ceremony does not have to be long to feel connected…something light, enjoyable and engaging is much better than something long winded and full of ‘wedding fluff’ you don’t need or want.
You know the ‘filler’ words or phrases that mean nothing to you and everyone knows is just stuff the celebrant thinks they need to say, but they don’t.
I’m here to make your ceremony creation and those amazing moments on your big day as easy, stress free and fun as I possibly can.
I will hype you up, hitch you, celebrate your uniqueness and love every minute!!!
❤️❤️❤️

Their hockey teammates are not only awesome at manoeuvring a hockey ball around but are also not bad at matchmaking as it turns out…
These two will forever be two Sturt Desert ‘peas in a pod’ because these legends made a cheeky suggestion that Raya and Angie would make a great couple after they hauled bricks around in their once very muddy backyard during a working bee.
So they were extra pumped to see them tie the knot yesterday ❤️.

If you’re presenting the rings for your beautiful friends or family during their wedding ceremony it’s a great idea to stand facing the guests.
This simple positioning makes this special moment feel extra inclusive because everyone can see their gorgeous smiling face (or maybe they have a giggle at any cheeky comments they might make) and of course it makes for better photos.
I love that something I have been doing instinctively for many years is popping up on my couple’s feeds currently, so I wanted to share it with you all in case you haven’t seen it yet.
❤️ Vic x
