ON THIS DAY 🤍 Sophie and Tom were married one year ago. There’s something extra special about a wedding when it’s one of Ballara’s own. Sophie, daughter of former owners Amanda and Bruce, spent many years here working as wait staff—today, a year ago, it was her turn to walk down the aisle at the Ballara Chapel. The beautiful pinks and reds set the perfect tone, and Sophie looked stunning in her dress. We loved the groom and groomsmen’s fun custom socks—a beautiful little personal touch! The dance floor was alive with energy, filled with laughter and so much dancing. The espresso martini tower was a hit, and the surprise dance from the bride and groom truly stole the show! Here’s to a couple who knows how to celebrate love and fun. Wishing them all the best in their journey ahead! 🥂💕 Videography | @stuartvideoproductions Brides Gown | @raffininsta Celebrant | @melbournecelebrantdanielle Entertainment: | @legrandstyleweddings Flowers: | @lillypadweddings Grooms Attire | Peter Jackson Makeup | @magicalmakeovers Photographer | @mattandjacques #HappyAnniversary #LoveStory
