Georgia and Nathan’s wedding grew out of the life they already share and featured many of their favourite things: The arcade they go for date nights, the board games and Lego they loved to play together, and a shared fluency in internet jokes and pop culture references. The brief was never about landing on a single theme. "Whimsical, retro, camp, kitschy, Vegas-ish and arcade culture" was their reference point, as well as creating a day that felt manageable and comfortable for the neurodivergent bride.

Kara and Ed’s Melbourne wedding was stitched together by their own hands. Every detail was pulled from their own creativity and a desire to create a day with retro heart and style. The bride made her veil, customised her shoes, and sewed velvet banners with their favourite love song lyrics on them. She even turned fake jellies into glowing centrepieces. They picked their own flowers on a farm, cooked the food themselves, and designed the whole thing around a bold pink and red palette with splashes of green.

Kelsey and Miles didn’t just include weed in their wedding, they built the whole thing around it. From the private vows and gift exchange at the International Church of Cannabis, the bar with curated strains to the disco ball dancers and aerial performers spinning above the dancefloor, this was never going to be a traditional celebration.

The venue for Summer and Iby's wedding, Smoked Garage, is an old motorcycle repair shop tucked away in the heart of Brisbane. It still houses bikes between the furniture, so it was a truly fitting setting for a car-loving groom and an artist bride. “We wanted something colourful, unique and a little bit vintage,” Summer told us. “Smoked Garage suited our style perfectly and let us and our guests relax – nothing too fancy.”

Chana and Nate’s wedding was a weekend-long celebration blending a disco chic bowling alley party the night before, with a colourful yet glam wedding day. They chose Wave Resort in New Jersey for its sleek coastal aesthetic and open, airy design. From the moment they stepped into the venue, with its exposed ceilings, concrete floors, and signature santal and lavender scent, they knew it was the place. “We never even toured another venue", Chana said.
