Samantha and Tom brought old Hollywood glamour, laughter, and pure romance to their unforgettable Ripponlea Estate wedding in Melbourne. With its manicured gardens and historic charm, Ripponlea was the perfect setting for a celebration that felt timeless, elegant, and full of personality.
A Love Story with Hollywood Glamour
From the moment Samantha arrived, she was an absolute icon. Inspired by the golden era of Hollywood, she looked like she had stepped straight out of the pages of Vogue. Tom matched her energy with warmth and humour, and together they created an atmosphere that was equal parts glamorous and joyful.
Their first look in the gardens was one of the sweetest moments of the day. The nerves melted away as they shared an intimate laugh, surrounded by the estate’s lush greenery.
A Ceremony Full of Heart (and Laughter)
The ceremony, led by the wonderful Nat Sproal, struck the perfect balance between emotion and humour. There were tear jerking vows, moments of deep connection, and plenty of laughter echoing through the gardens. Seriously, if you need a celebrant for your Ripponlea Wedding (or ANY wedding mind you!), she’s your gal. A beautiful quartet played, adding an extra touch of romance to the already magical setting.
Styling, Florals & Details
The details were nothing short of perfection. Bouquet Melbourne were on the florals and created something absolutely beautiful. Timeless, classic, glam! Ahhhhh way too good. Samantha Rose Events had everyone up on the dance floor and of course the Ripponlea wedding team were nothing short of spectacular. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with wedding coordinator Kim! Together, these talented suppliers transformed Ripponlea Estate into the ultimate Hollywood-inspired wedding backdrop.
Reception Fun & Unforgettable Moments
The reception was filled with incredible energy. Their MC (a friend) kept guests in stitches — at one point even joking that everyone should jump in the pool! Guests laughed (and I laughed, seriously, it was a lol), danced, and celebrated well into the night.
And of course, one funny behind the scenes moment? When Samantha did her emotional first look with her dad, I almost tripped in my excitement to capture the moment. Thankfully, it just added to the laughter of an already joy filled day!
