Wedding Style Profile - Christine and Marcus

What better way to rejoice the receding shadows of Winter than with a Spring-themed Wedding Style Profile!

Hibernation is officially over!

Christine and Marcus approached One Wedding Wish for Planning, Styling and Coordination just twelve weeks before their wedding day, and boy did we get straight to work! I am so grateful to work alongside truly a dream team of suppliers who exuded no less than their utmost professionalism, passion and creativity no matter the task at hand. It is through all their incredible efforts that one deliriously-in-love couple’s wedding dreams were realised that day.

Thank you Leonda by the Yarra for the use of your gorgeous versatile spaces, Erin, Tom, Judy and your team for your support and attention to detail all the way through. We also had the absolute pleasure of working with Santo and Ferry, artful cinematographers of Paper Cranes who flew down from Sydney to capture this special day. Looking forward to working with you both again in December! Julian of Serendipity Photography was meticulous, devoting his every attention to what he does best.



We’re so excited to showcase our most elaborate Wishing Tree / Welcome Table to date, custom designed exclusively for Christine and Marcus.

Born continents apart and meeting by chance, destiny would have them find comfort and completeness within each other. With that in mind, I set out to create something that inspired both their love of travel and love of home.

I fell in love with this 2-metre long, exposed timber Provincial-style dining table and decided it would be the perfect, visually-captivating piece for Leonda’s front entrance.

For the Wishing Tree, we embellished a large mirror base and vase with more than 400 fresh roses in beige, pink blush, white and old gold, and used glass bells to display our gorgeous Wishing Tags. Encased inside these bells were ‘a few of my favourite things!’. Over my travels to the US this year I carefully brought home two delicate natural vine birds’ nests, each with three blue robin eggs tucked snugly inside. Aren’t they simply gorgeous!?



The 1.1-metre tall white birdcage wishing well needed no introduction!

Standing gorgeous and glorious with stems of white Singapore orchids individually attached, guests dropped gold envelopes filled with blessings and money, perfect for the couple’s new life ahead.


You can trust the wedding planner to be partial to a good chinwag, and one of the things I do enjoy is getting to know the couple’s family and friends. As they say, you are the company you keep and how lovely they all were indeed!

From the sumptuous 5-course dinner, to getting shutter-silly inside a Vintage Photobooth, right down to the grand finale as the couple sailed away on a romantic boat ride from Leonda Jetty, everyone agreed they had an absolutely fabulous time!

Christine and Marcus, I wish you both beautiful days ahead! Joanie xox
