A Chic City Celebration with Modern Glamour & Heartfelt Traditions

Set against the backdrop of Sydney’s vibrant urban energy, this wedding unfolded as a stylish blend of contemporary design and timeless rituals. The day began with a Tea Ceremony at Next Chapter Events, setting a warm and meaningful tone before the celebrations ahead.

The bride stepped into her Marry Me Bridal gown – a structured, strapless creation with a sweeping train – a look that was at once minimal and statement-making. Paired with pointed-toe heels and refined jewellery, her style exuded a polished modernity that felt perfectly in step with the day’s aesthetic. The groom’s tailored black tuxedo offered the perfect counterpoint, classic yet fresh in its execution.

The ceremony at The Calyx in the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney was framed by lush florals from Khloris, their sculptural arrangements bringing a soft, organic dimension to the clean lines of the space. Under the lens of Salt Atelier Wedding Photography & Videography, moments unfolded in a way that felt effortlessly cinematic – from the couple’s joyful recessional to the quiet, intimate portraits that captured their connection.

Reception celebrations shifted into high gear with a second bridal look: a playful halter mini dress that brought movement and energy to the dance floor. The evening was a vibrant mix of lively music by DJ Nam, and spontaneous, joy-filled moments that carried late into the night. Guests were treated to interactive touches like a photo booth from Snap Squad and a Vogue Box experience by Social Selfies Sydney, ensuring memories were captured in every form.
