Ashleigh & Steve

Ashleigh and Steve tied the knot after being together for ten years on the 30th April 2022 at the stunning Yarra Ranges Estate. Nestled between the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, the premium Yarra Ranges Estate is an award-winning wedding venue, winery and restaurant.

The proposal story sets the stage for becoming husband and wife, and Steve had something heartwarming in mind to start this journey together. Ashleigh and Steve went for a day trip along the Mornington Peninsula on March 2021 to explore some of the dog beaches there with their chocolate Labrador Ellie. It was a grey rainy day in Melbourne, but the sun was out on the peninsula. They were walking along the first beach and Steve bent down to put Ellie on her lead. Ashleigh turned around to see what he was doing and found him down on one knee asking her to marry him! Ashleigh tells us, “It was one of the happiest moments of my life, and absolutely perfect happening in our happy place, the beach, with our pup by our side.”

The wedding day was such a special day for both Ashleigh and Steve and looking back it really does feel like the best day of the lives. Ashleigh tells us, “It was the perfect day, the rain held off and we got to be married surrounded by our family and friends with a stunning yellow vine backdrop. Yarra Ranges Estate were absolutely amazing and we are so grateful to Anna and her team! The food, the set up and the hospitality are unbeatable! It’s been a 10 year journey to get here and it was so worth the wait.”

Belle et Blanc bride ‘Ashleigh’ came into our bridal store and picked out the stunning ‘Mackenzie’ wedding dress. Ashleigh tells us,“ I loved that I found my perfect dress at Belle et Blanc, nothing was too hard for my lovely bridal consultant Donna and she read the room beautifully from the moment we walked in. I’d go back to Donna and the dresses equally!” Ashleigh continues, “I felt like a princess in my wedding gown. I’ve never felt more special in my life. I loved how it flowed around me and the sparkle in the lights. It wasn’t too tight so I could enjoy the food and drinks. I wish I could wear it again and again.”

We are so thankful to Ashleigh and Steve, and feel so honoured Ashleigh picked Belle et Blanc to be part of their day, and we absolutely love the photographs.
