Red: the colour of passion, desire, and unforgetta Red: the colour of passion, desire, and unforgettable love.⁠ ⁠ At @thecovejervisbay, this wedding inspiration embraces it all with bold styling, cheeky details, and a little rainy-day magic. Our bride stuns in a sparkling mini from @astonbridal, while ruby-hued florals from @theflowerpursuit and vintage touches bring the drama. Even the coupe tower gets a spicy twist (literally!). Rain or shine, this shoot proves that when you focus on love, the day will always be perfect.⁠ ⁠ Swipe through for dreamy details, sultry vibes, and all the inspo you need for your red-hot wedding day.⁠ ⁠ Photographer: @capturedby_kate / Venue: @thecovejervisbay / Cocktails: @thecovejervisbay / Makeup Artist: @brigette.alanamua / Hairstylist: @hairelegancebykim / Flowers: @theflowerpursuit / Gowns: @astonbridal / Wedding Cake: @thelittlebaker4⁠ ⁠ [Image one description: Standing beside a champagne tower with maraschino cherries in each coupe is a bride and groom. The bride is wearing a mini dress with off-shoulder puff sleeves and a flirty updo. She's holding onto the groom, who's wearing a classic black suit and bowtie.

A two-tier cake is in the centre of the shot with white icing and the phrase "wetter is better" in cursive black icing.⁠ ⁠ Image three description: The couple is now outside, standing under a clear umbrella as rain falls around them.]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #WeddingInspiration #WeddingIdeas #Wedding #Weddings #WeddingInspo #StyledShoot #AustralianWedding #WeddingStyle #CreativeWedding #RedWeddingInspo #MoodyWedding #MoodyWeddingInspo #WeddingBlog
“I think we went into the wedding with a really “I think we went into the wedding with a really good outlook of "No matter what happens, at the end of today we will be married so nothing else going wrong matters." This really saved our stress levels when little things cropped up and kept everything in perspective for us. Also, if you have the ability to hire a coordinator, PLEASE DO IT. It felt like we were the special guests at our own party and made everything so stress-free.” – @a.water.witch & @domnelson86 Some love stories feel like a warm blanket on a chilly day – comforting, familiar, and full of magic. Amber and Dom’s whimsical winter wedding was exactly that! With deep greens, earthy textures, and a setting right out of a fantasy novel, their day was as unique as their journey. From Dom’s cardigan ensemble to Amber’s ethereal gown (fairy wings included!), they embraced every detail that made their hearts sing. If you love a good fairytale ending, swipe through for theirs!
