Real Essense of Australia Bride Georgina + Stefan

Georgina and Stefan’s love story is another success for dating apps! What started as a casual relationship quickly evolved into something so much more. He popped the question at Port Willunga Beach, Adelaide, Australia — and the rest is history! 

For their wedding day, the bride and groom found a way to beautifully blend their Italian and English heritage. Through food and traditions, they were able to celebrate their culture while incorporating a modern romantic aesthetic.  

Georgina looked and felt like out of a fairytale in her wedding dress, Essense of Australia Style D3088. The lace, the ruffles, the removable sleeves—it was a dream come true! The Wedding Studio was there to capture every magical moment that is sure to stand the test of time—you’ll love every detail below.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PROPOSAL!    

I met Stefan on a dating app — he is four years younger than me! I didn’t think much of it at the beginning, but things progressed after months of talking — we really got to know each other.  

Stefan proposed to me on the top of Port Willunga Beach in Australia. It was a stunning view, and I could see how nervous he was.  It was very special!

DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE. HOW DID YOU WANT TO LOOK ON YOUR WEDDING DAY? TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS-SHOPPING EXPERIENCE. 

I would describe my bridal style as quite whimsical and extra, but at the same time, classic. I wanted to stand out and wanted the “wow” factor. Essense of Australia Style D3088 was a dress that made me feel like an elegant fairy princess. 

Stefan could not stop telling me how in love with my dress he was. He said it was more beautiful than he could have ever imagined.

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING. WHAT WERE YOUR THEME AND COLORS? HOW DID YOU MAKE YOUR WEDDING PERSONAL TO YOUR LOVE STORY? 

Stefan is Italian, and my family is from the UK. I think our wedding was a good hybrid of both of our cultures. I particularly enjoyed the streamers during our first dances and the Mediterranean cuisine.
