Michelle and Chad\u2019s classic wedding in Melbourne had all the hallmarks of a traditional wedding, but without all the fuss.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it came to planning our wedding, we both wanted it to be fun and as stress-free as possible,\u201d Michelle explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t get too caught up in the little details and we both wanted our guests to have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair, who first met three years ago, chose Elsternwick venue The Ivory<\/a>, in Melbourne\u2019s leafy bayside, for their classic wedding on November 1, 2019.<\/p>\n

Their 107 guests were right at home in the elegant venue, which perfectly matched Michelle and Chad\u2019s sophisticated and monochromatic style.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t big on formalities so we kept things short and sweet with the ceremony but it was exactly as we wanted,\u201d the bride recalls.<\/p>\n

White and champagne blooms adorned the ballroom reception venue, while the bridesmaids and groomsmen kept with the monochromatic theme in their black dresses and charcoal suits.<\/p>\n

The pair say there is nothing they would change about their special day, except maybe take some more time out for themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake some time on the day to sit with the person you\u2019ve just married and take it all in!\u201d Michelle advises future brides.<\/p>\n

“We had our first date at a bar in St Kilda where Chad was living at the time,” Michelle recalls. “We later bought a home together and after a year of living there Chad proposed one Saturday night! We had a pool table and he had placed the ring in there for me to find. It was completely unexpected but a really nice surprise.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
