Real Wedding – Paige & Dave, Tuerong VIC
For vivid, vibrant vibes and striking style, Dave and Paige’s dream day is a masterclass. From the beginning of their planning, these two had a clear vision—bright colours and big, big fun—and every epic element of their dream day reflects this.
Paige chose Eva Lendel at The Bridal Curator to mark this incredible milestone. A sleek silhouette of shimmering fabric, with off-shoulder detailing and chic contemporary full-length sleeves, it gives modern princess with just a little extra. Dave looks dashing in his taupe jacket, black bow tie, and pants, accessorising with a beaming grin.
As the dance floor heats up inside in the masterful hands of music legends Baker Boys Band, Dave and Paige soaks up their first stunning sunset as newlyweds. Every breathtaking moment is captured to artful perfection by the talented Love Bomb Photos.
The meeting.
I was working as a waitress at a restaurant in Beaumaris, Dave and his mates came in every Thursday for a parma. We just clicked!
The one.
Dave had a trip booked with no end date before we met, when it was time to say goodbye we just knew it wasn’t the end and made plans to meet overseas.

Planning process.
We had a long time to plan and locked in our amazing vendors early, this took a lot of the stress away until the final details closer to the date.
Style inspiration.
Bright colours and a fun vibe.
Looking at real weddings was helpful for inspiration.
The ceremony.
Our ceremony was beautiful with our closest friends and family there to share the special moment with us. Our amazing celebrant, Abbie, just got us and told our story so well.
The outfits.
I knew the exact style of dress I wanted from the start; I tried it on and fell in love. I wanted something that sparkled!
Dave looks good in anything!
Favourite moments.
Our first look. We shared our vows privately just in case I got stage fright at the ceremony. Annnnnnnd the dance floor!
Meaning of marriage.
Coming together as one family.
Wedding soundtrack.
Ceremony: Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles (the song Dave proposed to)
Reception entry: Feel the Love by Rudimental.
Funny stories (or near disasters).
My son got bitten by something in his sleep the night before; his foot was so swollen we were on the phone to doctors and nurses on call the morning of our wedding; at one point, I was getting my make-up done, thinking I’d have to take him to the emergency room.
Planning surprises.
The stress towards the end of the planning!
Words of wisdom.
Don’t sweat the small things, no one will notice but you. Focus on what’s important to you as a couple.
