Mary & Alessia

Mary and Alessia's Glamorous DIY Wedding Extravaganza Mary and Alessia's love story is nothing short of magical. When it came time to plan their special day, they knew they wanted to create a wedding celebration that was as unique and extraordinary as their relationship. And so, they worked together to design the wedding of their dreams—a glamorous DIY extravaganza for the ages. Mary and Alessia chose to have an intimate first look, a moment shared between just the two of them before the whirlwind of the celebration began. It was a chance for them to pause, take in the significance of the day, and reaffirm their love for each other. The ceremony was a deeply personal reflection of Mary and Alessia's love story. They incorporated meaningful rituals and heartfelt vows, weaving together the threads of their past, present, and future. All lovingly witnessed by their closest family and friends. As the sun began to set, the energy of the celebration shifted as a drag show took took the place of their first dance. Mary and Alessia are passionate supporters of LGBTQ+ rights, and they wanted to honour their community in a meaningful way. The drag performers kicked off a night of absolute chaos in the best possible way. But perhaps what truly set Mary and Alessia's wedding apart was the transformation of the venue itself. They took an already stunning location and turned it into the wedding event of the decade. Homemade disco balls glittered all around. Vibrant neon signs designed and made by Alessia added a touch of retro chic, while creatively spray-painted pampas grass added a whimsical flair to the decor. Mary and Alessia's wedding was more than just a celebration of their love—it was a testament to their creativity, passion, and commitment to each other. From the intimate moments shared between just the two of them to the larger-than-life drag show that brought everyone together, every aspect of their day was infused with meaning and intention. It was a wedding that will be remembered for years to come—a true reflection of their beautiful love story.
