A Seaside Dream: Alex & Ash’s Stunning St Kilda Wedding

On the 23rd of February 2025, under bright skies and just the hint of morning thunder, Alex and Ash tied the knot in a celebration as memorable as their love story itself. Held at the stunning Harbour Room St Kilda, their wedding effortlessly blended seaside serenity with timeless elegance, captured beautifully by Single Soul Photography.

A Picture-Perfect Proposal in Japan
The couple’s journey to the altar began in one of the most picturesque places on Earth—Mt. Fuji, Japan. While admiring the panoramic view at a lookout, Ash asked Alex to turn around so he could snap a photo. When she turned back to face him, he was down on one knee, ring in hand, ready to capture the most unforgettable moment of all.

The Gown That Glammed the Day
Alex discovered Belle et Blanc while exploring bridal boutiques on Sydney Road and instantly felt drawn to the luxurious collection. One particular gown, adorned in intricate beading and a striking neckline, captured her attention.

“I was unsure about the neckline at first—it was so different to what I’d usually choose,” Alex shared. “But no other dress compared. I kept thinking about that one.”

The fitting process involved several alterations, but with the guidance and care of the Belle et Blanc team, the journey to her dream dress was seamless. “On my wedding day I felt so glamorous,” Alex recalls. “It was absolutely the perfect dress for me.”

A Day to Remember
With the sun eventually shining bright over the sand and sea, Alex and Ash exchanged vows against the backdrop of a glistening ocean. The ceremony and reception both took place at Harbour Room St Kilda, styled with gorgeous blooms by FlowerWorks Florist, and accompanied by heartfelt video and photo moments from Single Soul Photography.

The bridal party looked effortlessly chic—bridesmaids in gowns from Billy J Boutique, the groom and groomsmen in Tarocash suits, and Alex stepping out in classic heels by Wittner. Sweet details like the cake from Party Time Cakes rounded out the day with delicious flair.

Forever Starts Now
Reflecting on the day, Alex says, “It couldn’t have turned out any better. We had a wedding by the beach, and the sunny weather made everything feel even more special.”

From a mountaintop proposal to a beachfront celebration, Alex and Ash’s wedding was filled with emotion, joy, and radiant style. And for Alex, finding the gown that made her feel truly herself was the icing on the cake.
