DIY Weddings
Liam married his wife, Kerri Ann, in what might be the coolest wedding ever. They included club themes, neon lights, a bouncy castle and a tattoo artist who did tattoos (both real and fake) for the couple and guests.
Gemma married her husband Jodan in the Hunter Valley. They had a DIY wedding where they had to bring in every element! Their wedding had lots of references to their family and friends, including their two children, and cultural elements relating to Jodan’s Aboriginal heritage.
Sammi married her wife Caitie in Birregurra in March 2024. They had a small ceremony with just family, followed by a large reception with all their family and friends. They had a beautiful day, although it was 40 degrees!
Luella married her husband, Angus, at Saint Aidans Winery in November 2023. They had a lot of help from family and friends to organise and decorate their wedding. Luella and Angus decided against having a photographer, instead they had lots of disposable cameras around the wedding and had a cousin take photos throughout the day!
Peta married her husband Liam in country Victoria at the beautiful Stick Shed. In order to save money, Peta and Liam DIY’d a lot, they used second hand items and got a lot of help from family and friends.
Christine and Brent got married at Greyleigh Kiama in a beautiful wedding that had a family focussed feel. They skipped the couple photos after the ceremony, instead they opted to join the cocktail hour and enjoy pizzas. Kids were included throughout their wedding in lots of different ways.
09 Richelle: Newcastle, Budget 50,000+, DIY
Richelle married her husband, Scott, in September 2023 at Greystone Estate. She had a DIY style wedding and her episode is filled with a lot of tips about how she organised the day, things for planning your wedding and how to make the day as inclusive and fun as possible for all of your guests.
Shani married her husband, Tate, in November 2023 at a family friends property. Having it here allowed them to incorporate a lot of family elements into the day. They used a combination of local Tasmanian vendors as well as favourite Victorian vendors (where they used to live) for their wedding, as a way of tying in their old and new lifestyle.
Matikka married her husband Dean in Wollongong in November 2023. She spent a lot of time thoroughly researching each of her vendors and planning the day, which definitely paid off with her stunning day.
Danielle got married to her husband Jonte in Geelong in March 2022 after a long engagement and lots of postponements due to COVID lockdowns.
Danielle’s venue was a blank canvas, and Danielle and Jonte had to bring in everything to allow them to have their “relaxed Saturday afternoon with a wedding at the start” styled wedding.
