JESS + RIC
Jessica and Ric’s Wedding at Carousel, Albert Park
The day began with a quiet, intimate first look by the edge of Albert Park Lake, the Melbourne skyline shimmering softly in the distance. Jessica and Ric shared a tender moment just for the two of them, the gentle morning light glinting off the water and casting a golden glow across the scene. It was the kind of moment that felt suspended in time — calm, warm, and full of anticipation for the day ahead.
Their ceremony, led by Alana Tran, was heartfelt and intimate, framed by soft, romantic blooms from Thrive Flowers. The neutral palette with delicate pops of blue mirrored the serene surroundings, and the gentle ripple of the lake beyond the ceremony space added a natural elegance that required no extra embellishment. Every detail, from textured travertine tablescapes to subtle candlelight, created an atmosphere that was at once dreamy, sophisticated, and personal.
Inside the reception, the mood shifted to joyful celebration. Guests were welcomed with a menu from Food & Desire, moving seamlessly into dancing with music by Melbourne Entertainment Co. A gelato cart added a playful, unexpected touch, while the evening came alive with glow sticks in hand — laughter, movement, and colourful light reflecting off city skyscrapers and happy faces alike. The party felt effortless, alive, and perfectly reflective of Jessica and Ric’s personalities: stylish, joyful, and full of warmth.
Jessica wore two exquisite gowns — a sleek Manu Garcia design for the ceremony and a custom Jennifer Bowden mini for the reception — paired with the ethereal Fressia veil by Oleg Cassini and Harlo Au heels. Ric looked perfectly polished in a tailored MenzMode suit, his style effortlessly complementing Jessica’s modern elegance.
From the quiet intimacy of the first look to the laughter-filled ceremony by the lake to the glowing, playful energy of the dancefloor under the city lights, every moment of Jessica and Ric’s wedding felt intentional, meaningful, and full of joy. It was a day that perfectly balanced elegance with spontaneity, intimacy with celebration, and timeless romance with unforgettable fun.
