From Amelia Soegijono Photography… Two gentle souls from lands apart, united as one, with a shared journey to take on the world. An Australian doctor & cosmetic physician and Canadian helicopter engineer fall in love at first sight after meeting for the first time at a local wine bar in Perth. Accompanied by French champagne, and two utterly beautiful life stories, they gazed into one another’s futures only to discover that they may soon find themselves destined for a lifetime together as soulmates. Taking to the skies for a flight above the exquisite turquoise waters and sandy coastline of Western Australia, they later found themselves landing on the banks of the Swan River for a toast to their forever when she said ‘yes’! With a love of traveling and seeking adventures, having the French Riviera as the backdrop for their love story was an effortless choice. With Nomad Republic by their side, they were empowered to dream of a fairy tale wedding. Together with their team of trusted and talented vendors, Stephanie and Tom helped them bring their vision to life, providing a stress-free experience for this epic celebration of love for Tessa and Jason. Wishing to reflect her fashion-forward style, but yet embracing the classic and timeless look of a romantic bride, Tessa looked like a goddess in her OGLIA-LORO Couture wedding gown. She held an oversized cascading asymmetrical arrangement of white, ivory, and blush roses with different foliage as her bouquet. Little details such as petite helicopters as Jason’s cufflinks and cute recovery kits as guest favors gave subtle nods to their stories as a helicopter engineer and a doctor.
With her proud dad by her side, Tessa walked down the aisle with small delicate blush spray roses in cascading foliage garlands adorning the pews. It was a grand, yet sweet entrance that was heartfelt and moving. To add to the serenity and grandeur of Eglise du Sacre Coeur in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Wayne Riley Flowers added abundant roses sitting on each side of the balustrades to establish a soft and lush garden feel as a focal point of the church ceremony. An organist, a vocalist, and a violin player serenaded the guests during the most special parts of the ceremony. Tessa & Jason’s wedding on the French Riviera was an enchanting chic, elegant classic affair with abundant candlelight. To resonate with Villa Ephrussi De Rothschild’s fairy tale pastel tones, the couple chose a soft color palette of white, ivory, and blush, adorned with green and grey foliage with a touch of timeless gold. Guests were welcomed into the Florentine Gardens of the Villa to the sweet sounds of a harp and a violin. The live music continued during cocktail hour, evoking an ethereal and unforgettable ambiance. Wayne Riley Flowers mixed gold mercury timbales and crystal tea lights with soft and loose arrangements to create a decor that mirrors the fairy tale architecture of the venue. Tall gold candlesticks created variations in height upon the tables, amongst a dreamy medley of hydrangeas, peonies, roses, and foliage. The dinner reception area was lit with oversized glittering chandeliers that framed the central alley of the upper part of the Villa’s French Gardens. Another focal point was the champagne wall escort cards, assembled by DX Event Rentals and adorned by Wayne Riley Flowers with sweet-smelling blooms. Felicitations Wedding & Event Stationary, the couple’s graphic designer, embellished round acrylic place cards that sat on the edge of gold-rimmed champagne flutes with a gold mirror finish. Helen Traiteur, their caterer, crafted an unforgettable culinary experience with a chocolate sphere as a finale that was utterly gorgeous to the eye, the palate, and the senses.
Their wedding cake, designed by Made In Cake, also incorporated a gold accent and touches of roses with delicate jasmine, ruscus, and olive leaves. With sparkling lights as a backdrop, Tessa and Jason cut the cake and welcomed their happily ever after. From the bar decorated with lush, bucolic florals and foliage arrangements to the fountain candle installation, no details were left out, every decor element created a gorgeous and magical atmosphere at dusk time. To document their beautiful story and epic wedding design, the couple had chosen Amelia Soegijono Photography, a luxury fine art and film wedding photographer. With a perfectly matched personality and heart to the couple, the documentation of the wedding was precious and beautiful. Together with Matteo Castelluccia Videomaker, their talented videographer, they gathered the precious memories of the day and created heirloom keepsakes for Tessa and Jason. Since the moment the two of them met, nothing was too hard or too far out of reach. With their generous, kind, and wanderlust hearts, it was effortless to have brought this dream to life and welcome their new chapter as husband and wife.
