Amelia and Jonathan gathered with loved ones to share their wedding day at The Ritz-Carlton, in the elegant heart of Melbourne. Their unforgettable wedding fell during the bustling Valentine’s Day week and exemplified how careful planning, artistic design, and meticulous detail need to come together to create a truly magical day.
A Gown to Remember
Amelia wore a breathtaking ivory gown by Sonia Cappellazzo, which perfectly aligned with the wedding’s classic and graceful tone. The gown’s design offered a timeless appeal that resonated beauty throughout the celebration. Amelia’s ensemble was completed by a show stopping bridal bouquet. The bouquet was composed of pristine playa blanca and vandella reflexed roses, and exuded sophistication while capturing the spirit of timeless elegance.
Elegant Bridal Party Details
Amelia’s three bridesmaids carried slightly smaller versions of her bouquet, showcasing a blend of playa blanca, vandella, and quicksand reflexed roses. This choice added a subtle yet refined variation to the bridal party’s overall look, keeping a cohesive theme while introducing just the right amount of contrast.
The bridesmaids wore slightly understated dresses that complemented both the floral palette and the wedding’s sophisticated ambience. Meanwhile, Jonathan and his groomsmen opted for black-tie tuxedos, accessorised with buttonholes featuring a delicate arrangement of a rose and a freesia bloom. This simple yet refined detail harmonised seamlessly with the bridesmaids’ bouquets and Amelia’s bridal bouquet.
The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne
Amelia and Jonathan’s reception took place in the ballroom at The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne, a new venue celebrated for its luxurious atmosphere and impeccable service. On this occasion, the space was transformed into a floral oasis, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the styling team at Prolight and the floral expertise of Kate Hill Flowers. The ballroom exuded opulence, setting the stage for an evening of celebration that echoed the couple’s vision of a classic, dreamy wedding.
Lovingly Detailed Floral Designs
The reception’s centrepiece was the bridal table, adorned with an exquisite, table-length floral runner created by Kate Hill Flowers. Crafted exclusively with pristine white hydrangeas, playa blanca, quicksand reflexed roses, and accents of white phalaenopsis orchid stems, the runner embodied luxury from end to end. The arrangement’s all-floral design (absent any foliage) delivered a chic, upscale look. Soft candlelight surrounded the lush blooms, adding a romantic glow that highlighted the flowers’ natural beauty.
