Last Sunday we did something exciting. 💙💙💙
Thanks to my gorgeous former bride Tara, the owner of Sweet as Sugar we surprised our family with dessert that revealed the sex of our baby!!!
Oh, did I mention we are having another baby??? 👶🏼
Baby Dicko #2 incoming Jan 2023.
It was such a perfect moment, the cupcakes were to die for (both look and taste) and it was smiles all round when we let the cat out of the bag that Taj was getting a little bro.
Thank you to every lovely client who has reached out, said congrats and have been so wonderfully supportive of the news that I will have a bump onboard for when I marry them in the later part of 2022. I promise I’m full of energy and will make your wedding day, the best day of your lives.
Check out the beautiful cupcakes from @sweetas.sugar___ . Such incredible detail and care put into the delivery of our little surprise. You’re a bloody gem Tara.
ONE WHOLE YEAR OF #celebrationswithholly
Today I celebrate my first Cele-anniversary of the date that I made my very first couple official! I was so lucky that Pearl and Matt trusted me to play a role in their incredibly intimate moment AND that I was part of a small dream team that made it happen.
I want to share a quick story from that day. I was about 19 weeks pregnant with Taj, and as I walked to collect my car in the valet at the treasury Como, I was spent. I had stayed up all night reading their wedding script over and over again, jumped up early to get dressed and to triple check the paperwork and the excitement of the day had well and truly caught up with me. The beautiful older gentleman working the valet detected my exhaustion and quickly sorted my car. He helped me load up and then before I could do anything, lent in my door, gently put my seatbelt on and turned to me and said... "don't forget what you have done today, you have made someone husband and wife. What you have done is for life" Let's just say the tears of happiness poured the whole drive home.
So thank you to every couple who has trusted me, every vendor who has been kind or shared their work with me, every nice word from a stranger, family or friend that has reminded me that this job.... well its for life. It's a privilege to do what I do and I look forward to making many more people "for life."

❤️❤️❤️Check out this gorgeous elopement setup by boho & prosecco for the even more gorgeous Abi Chapman & Chris. Last Friday morning, 12.11.21, just Abi, Chris, their witnesses and I, shared a special moment down by Pier 21 in North Fremantle. There was tears as we spoke of those missing loved ones, smiles as I shared their stories and above all love as they became Mr and Mrs Hunter. ❤️❤️❤️

I'M BACK BABY!
After taking some time off to welcome my little man into the world, I am back and meeting clients!
This weekend I grabbed a coffee and a wine with three awesome couples who want me to play a big role in their wedding day, and boy did it feel GOOD. I loved getting to chat about their special moment, forget about making up the next bottle (just for a short moment) and to be back doing what I love. I equally loved getting home to that little smile.
Bring on the first ceremony in September.
