Toni + Christina
COOMBE ESTATE
The day
The backdrop for Toni and Christina’s day was the picturesque Coombe Estate in the Yarra Valley, which is fast becoming one of our favourite venues. The couple combined both traditional and non-traditional wedding day elements to create their perfect day.
The ceremony was definitely one of the day’s highlights, led by the incomparable Damon Hughes, who spoke of Toni and Christina’s courtship and their love for each other. Kendrick, the couple’s French bulldog, was the star of the show.
Toni was gorgeous in her Karen Willis Holmes gown, as was Christina courtesy of Couture Menswear, wearing a custom suit with not one, but two stunning hand-beaded jackets. The couple had their closest friends by their side to make a beautiful bridal party. While the couple took photos throughout the award-winning grounds (with the talented Chloe May Photography), the guests were treated to champagne and canapés from Coombe’s gourmet kitchen.
The party really kicked off when Rocky and band Higher Ground took charge of the dance floor, mixing classic Italian tunes with modern day hits. Music was such an integral part of the day, and guests were treated to a performance by Christina’s brothers during the Father-Daughter dance.
Thanks so much for having us Toni and Christina, it really was a spectacular day.
