When a client asks for florals to be the styling statement piece. We deliver! For Elise and Greg's, it was their cermeony florals that stole the show. Then as their guests sipped mojitos at cocktail hour, our team magically transported their floral oasis to their reception. Everywhere you turned, there were florals and it was epic! This is certainly one we adored creating with Twig & Hynes at Feathertop Winery

This bouquet is what statement piece should look like! Hot tip: When discussing florals with your florist, simply ask for your bridesmaid bouquets to be a smaller version of your bridal bouquet.

Kind words from S+B “Mel quite simply made our day ours to enjoy. All the stress leading up to the day worrying about what could go wrong, just wasn't there. Nothing went wrong, it was all just handled for us, and we could just focus on each other. We couldn't have asked for anything more”.

What's an example of how we help take the stress out of wedding planning? Last year we worked with a gorgeous bride who had started her planning, but asked us to come on board to help find her final vendors.
One vendor she has already sourced was her florist. However 4 weeks before her weddings date, her florist cancelled on her. Naturally, the bride panicked! She called us and we reassured her we would find a solution.
Within 24 hours, we had sourced her another florist who nailed the bride's floral brief.
It's unexpected situations like this that is great to have a wedding planning professional in your corner to fix issues when they arise. We have the know-how and the industry connections to ensure any bump in the wedding planning road is nor only fixed, but is stress-free for you!
PS. We are taking bookings now for weddings in later 2025 and early 2026!

Helping Phoebe and Mark set up their wedding styling details was such a treat for our team. It's not every day you get to set up lego bouquets and an escape room puzzle that takes over a venue. We adored helping this loved-up duo in their wedding styling design, creation and coordination.
When you hire our Mellyrain Creative team to be your wedding planner, stylist and coordinator... you can throw stress out the window knowing our team has every detail covered for your wedding day while you take in the glorious moments of the day. Think...
👉 Setting up chairs and liaising with all your vendors... tick!
👉 Fluffing florals and straightening place cards before guests arrive... got it!
👉 Face of that one guest who couldn't arrive ready for your group photo... copy that!
👉 Making sure arcade games on and ready for your guest arrival... OK!
No matter the detail. Our team ensures all the details that are important to you are triple checked and executed on your special day so you are completely stress-free!

MELANIE JAMES | WEDDING PLANNER, STYLIST + COORDINATOR IN CENTRAL VICTORIA
Hi, I’m Melanie.
I am a lover of coffee, country air + early morning starts!
My passion for weddings started in 2017 when I had the privilege of planning my brother’s wedding at our family property in Shepparton, Victoria. He + his wife-to-be both had a clear vision on how they wanted their wedding day to unfold, however they were unsure how to navigate the planning + styling of their special day. With my experience in sport + entertainment events in Melbourne, along with my organisational skills + slight OCD, I helped them create a relaxed + beautiful wedding that they not only they loved, but also their guests loved.
I quickly realised through planning + coordinating my brother’s wedding that this was what I wanted to do. Help couples create unique property weddings in Central Victoria + eliminate stress so they can be present with their loved ones on their wedding day.
I went on to help friends + family plan, style + coordinate their property weddings so they too could enjoy their wedding experience.
It’s an indescribable feeling helping + guiding couples through these incredibly beautiful moments in time. I am constantly inspired by the people I get to meet, but most importantly by the stories that have brought them together.
I ensure that each wedding I am involved with is meticulously planned + designed from start to finish, as well as an enjoyable + fun but most importantly a stress free experience for the happy couple.
No two weddings are ever the same which is why I put together personalised wedding packages for couples so I can help you create exactly what you want for your wedding.
