REAL ADVICE

From our real wedding couples

AISLE TALK

Your front-row seat to pop-culture weddings and aisle-worthy fashion moments.

Dua Lipa just made the case for the bridal blazer.

She said “I do” in custom Schiaparelli, a wide-brimmed hat and white gloves, and proved that a registry ceremony with a handful of your favourite people can be the most stylish wedding move of the year.

Dua Lipa married actor Callum Turner at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall on Sunday, stepping out to confetti in a tailored ivory blazer with a sculpted asymmetric skirt, Christian Louboutin pumps and a Bulgari serpent necklace. With just seven or eight guests in attendance, it was intimate by any measure and magnetic by every one.

It’s giving contemporary bridal with bold personality, tailored style and nods to her own style icons.

For Dua Lipa, Vogue credits the reference point to Bianca Jagger, 1971 — also a blazer, also a hat; a fit that made bridal cool.

For couples feeling the pull toward something smaller, the Lipa-Turner wedding is a reminder that intimacy doesn’t mean compromise. A civil ceremony can be effortlessly impactful. A registry office can be the scene for elevated romance. And seven guests witnessing something real can outshine a packed venue full of obligation invites.

The cool-girl wedding isn’t about having less. It’s about choosing exactly what feels right for you (and wearing something unforgettable while you do it).

I Do… Round Two for Paris Hilton

Plenty of couples say they wish they could relive their wedding day, and Hollywood A-lister Paris Hilton and hubby of five years, Carter Reum have done just that following a sweet “will you marry me… again?” proposal on Valentine’s Day.

Five years after their headline-making 2021 wedding, Paris revealed the vow-renewal celebration on social media, sharing that her “forever Valentine” put on the beautiful display just days before her birthday. Naturally, she said yes all over again, with their children Phoenix and London very much a part of the moment.

Iconic as ever, Hilton wore a chic white Grecian-inspired gown paired with silver gloves, and a statement choker, with Reum rocking a crisp white suit.

Our take? That’s hot.

ICYMI: Rings, “I do’s” and festive-season nuptials worth noting

If the summer break has blurred into one long stretch of leftovers and silenced notifications, here’s the wedding and engagement news you may have missed in your slumber.

Tennis icon Venus Williams rounded out 2025 with a wedding celebration in Palm Beach, Florida, marrying actor and model Andrea Preti after a multi-day set of festivities following their ceremony in Italy, while closer to home, Aussie swim legend Michael Klim also shared end-of-year news, announcing his engagement to Michelle Owen after proposing overseas.

But the real headline belonged to football favourite Sam Kerr. On New Year’s Eve, the Matildas skipper married fellow soccer player Kristie Mewis, delivering one of the most talked-about weddings of the break, set at WA’s stunning Swan Valley.

Back on the engagement front, US star Miley Cyrus confirmed a big “yes” to longtime partner Maxx Morando with her usual low-key confidence, while Jordyn Woods and NBA A-lister Karl-Anthony Towns capped off Christmas with a proposal that too made headlines.
Also joining the festive engagement club was Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett, who marked Christmas Day with a proposal he later shared publicly.

Still waking up? At least now you’re in the wedding know.
