It is a small detail, but it sets the tone for an entire day, and I loved that they thought about it.
Rachael walked down the aisle with her mum and dad, which is the kind of classic moment that never goes out of style, no matter how many alternative aisle entrances Pinterest tries to convince you are the future. BUT FIRST they sent down their grandmas with baskets of petals… yes, that’s right, they had some flower grannies to open the day with.

Revathi & Tim’s vibrant wedding at Rupert on Rupert, Collingwood.
Like so many Melbourne couples these days, Revathi and Tim have online dating to thank for bringing them together. After swiping right on each other on Hinge, they spent a few weeks messaging before agreeing to meet in person.
