⛪️ Venue & Ceremony
Harbour views or secret gardens? These Sydney venues are worthy of the biggest wedding of the decade.
Ok, I am biased .. this was our wedding venue in March 2024 and I could not have been happier! Outside the stunning space and harbour views, the team at Gunners is incredible to work with for all the logistics that go into the day.
We were able to ...
Gunner’s Barracks
How dreamy is this venue?! This made my decision for venue incredibly difficult because it could not get more GORGEOUS. With stunning imagery all around, you quite literally become part of the art yourself.
Being unfamiliar with the city and unsure...

This is my favorite building in Sydney CBD and they’ve made it so you can have your wedding in this stunning space! Seriously if you haven’t seen it, look up photos of the architecture and windows of this place.. it’s amazing and I love the space the...
The Tea Room | Queen Victoria Building
I mean, does it get more Sydney than the Opera House itself?! While this is likely to come with a decent price tag, the scenery and atmosphere is nothing short of iconic!!
Sydney Opera House
Some friends of ours got married here just a year prior to our wedding and it was absolutely stunning!! This is a great venue for a focus on Australia’s natural beauty - the greenery and water is a breathtaking backdrop!
Pine Grove | Centennial Park
We loved working with Michael! He is so thorough and ensured we had everything in order both from a legal and ceremony logistic standpoint.

Luxe, layered, and over-the-top — just like the love story. These florists deliver the drama.
In looking around for florals, one of our favorite options was Floral Craftsman in Mosman. My MIL and I stopped by in-store and spoke with the staff about exactly what we had in mind. Within 48 hours, I received a fully detailed quote along with a PD...

I LOVE this shop!! While we didn’t work with this florist for our wedding, I’ve received several bouquets from Ficus Flora and they never disappoint!
From birthdays to holidays to just because, they exceed delivery and display expectations both from...

A beautiful shop and great consult process!! This florist was recommended by our venue and while we didn’t ultimately work with them for our event, they are certainly a great option for experienced and reputable florals in Sydney. Absolutely worth a ...

From aisle walk acoustics to afterparty bangers, here’s the acts for a celeb-style “I do.”
Not gonna lie, I didn’t see the vision at first, but this turned out to be one of the most fun parts of the day! It was my husband’s idea for Mike to attend cocktail hour as a guest and perform card tricks while mingling in the crowd.. dude killed it...

Ashley shot our engagement session and we adored working with her!! We are not a couple that does photoshoots often, so her guidance on poses and warmth made us super comfortable with the process.
Our engagement session was at Bradley’s Head, overlo...

The little things that make a wedding unforgettable — custom, cheeky, and oh-so-Sydney.
The cold sparks were my husband’s idea and I have to say.. they were too cool!! Really a “WOW” element that I wouldn’t have thought of - and working with Sydney Pyrotechnics, they made the process super easy. They were able to coordinate with our ven...

I did a lot of research on which registry to choose as an international couple, but MyRegistry.com was the clear winner for us. Not only can you link specific items from any country’s website, you can also set up registry funds that can be set up for...

Spa days, Harbour views, and the ultimate girls’ weekend — here’s how Taylor could get bridal ready.

In my experience, I found that many venues didn’t have a good space for the bridal party to get ready on the day-of, so a room at The Albert was perfect! It’s an adorable boutique hotel in Mosman with unique spaces suited wonderfully for those gettin...

My wedding dress and veil had to be packed in a vacuum seal bag for the long journey from AL to SYD .. the wrinkles were crazy!! The Blue and White team took great care of both items - both were pressed and turned around in less than 3 days! Highly r...
