Savvy Wedded Wednesday: Sarah and Simon!













Thanks to Polka Dot Bride and the featured photographer, Love, Katie & Sarah, we were able to delight ourselves with this eccentric Australian wedding.

The beautiful bride wore a black and white dress she designed and had made by NICKOM (Nicole Komalarajun). It was embellished with French cotton lace and silks. Her retro-styled hair and gorgeous defining makeup completed the look. Sarah used Flowers by Entwine, and said that she loved their work; the vintage aesthetic was a perfect pop out against her cream and black frock.

The couple married at The Darling Gardens in Clifton Hill. The bride walked down the aisle to Louis Armstrong's version of "La Vie En Rose." The bride and groom love jewelry (both met when they were studying gold and silver smithing classes). The bride made her own hairpiece/comb using black feathers and silk. Much of their jewelry was sourced from Ebay. And the pair each wore John Fluevog shoes, a hit of the night. And the pair also designed all their stationary!

The reception was held at the Grace Darling Hotel, where guests indulged in Bellini cocktails and bruscetta. In the heart of Melbourne, this pub hotel was low lit with candles everywhere. A band called Monouche a Trois played 1940's gypsy jazz in the background while guests enjoyed a three course meal.
