Weddings are one of the most joyous occasions we will ever attend in our lives. With decadent food, top notch entertainment and the chance to catch up with old family and friends, it’s little surprise the average Australian wedding costs upwards of $36,000.
And when it comes to celebrities tying the knot, our favourite stars have proved no expense is spared on their big day.
From reality TV stars to journalists and actors, we’ve taken a look inside the best Aussie celeb weddings of all time.
Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough
Karl and Jasmine exchanged vows at the One&Only Palmilla resort in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico in front of 200 friends and family in December 2018.
Jasmine stunned in a custom-made couture gown by Sydney designer Jessica Andretta which took 6 months to create, and had a detachable skirt.
During Jasmine’s reading of her vows, Karl teared up and then admitted, “sh- -, I’m terrible with this stuff.”
The couple were serenaded by a mariachi band and were wed on top of a platform, outdoors.
There was a star-studded guest list – including Richard Wilkins, and his son Christian, Grant Kenny, Mick Doohan, Julie Bishop, Shane Warne and Karl’s sister-in-law Sylvia Jeffreys.
Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich
The pair, who met on the first season of The Bachelor back in 2013, became husband and wife in 2018 in Puglia, southern Italy.
Surrounded by their close friends and family, Tim and Anna exchanged vows at the stunning Masseria Potenti hotel in Manduria.
Anna walked down the aisle with her father, Les Heinrich and wore a custom-made Steven Khalil dress.
Not only did they celebrate in style at the ceremony, but they kicked on with a wild pool party the day after before embarking on their honeymoon, yachting around the Mediterranean.
Sylvia Jeffreys and Peter Stefanovic
Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, the journalist couple tied the knot in 2017 in an outdoor ceremony by a lake on a private property in Kangaroo Valley.
Sylvia looked breathtaking in a tiered bridal gown by Aussie designer Rebecca Vallance that featured intricate beading and an understated train.
At the reception, guests were treated to an incredible evening of food and entertainment. Catering was provided by Aria, while the Baker Boys Band and DJ Elliott Hammond from The Delta Riggs looked after the music.
Guests included Sylvia’s Today Show colleagues Lisa Wilkinson, Richard Wilkins, Richard’s son Christian and former Neighbours star turned singer, Holly Candy, while Peter’s brother Karl read a hilarious speech.
Sarah Roberts two year wedding anniversary
Sarah Roberts and James Stewart
In 2019, the Home and Away stars celebrated not one but two weddings. The first ceremony at Coogee in Sydney was a casual affair for the official signing of the papers.
Then in July, James and Sarah tied the knot in Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin – the same place David and Victoria Beckham were hitched.
In a beautiful intimate ceremony the couple were surrounded by 25 of their closest family and friends, including James’ daughter Scout, as they said “I do”.
Georgia Love and Lee Elliott
Due to COVID, the Bachelorette stars had to postpone their wedding several times, but eventually on a sunny autumn day in March 2021, the couple got to say their I dos.
Georgia and Lee officially tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Tasmania, with the journalist wearing a stunning strapless dress featuring a plunging v-cut down the front.
Lisa Wilkinson and Peter FitzSimons
25 years after first tying the knot, Lisa and Peter renewed their vows in an intimate ceremony at the Bathers Pavilion on Sydney’s Balmoral Beach.
Lisa stunned in an off-the-shoulder Pallas Couture gown while former Wallabies player Peter, 56, rocked a dapper tux.
True to their promise, Lisa and Peter said “I do” once again, opting for the very fitting location of Balmoral – where they first tied the knot back in 1992.
The newly-renewed Mr and Mrs partied the night away in good company with the likes of Channel Nine journalist Sylvia Jeffreys, her husband Peter Stefanovic, Ben Fordham, Georgie Gardener, Richard Wilkins and billionaire businesswoman Gretel Packer in attendance.
Jules Robinson and Cam Merchant
The MAFS sweethearts got married for real in November 2019 at the Alpha restaurant in the centre of Sydney, with the ceremony being filmed for an A Current Affair special.
The star-studded event was attended by MAFS co-stars Heidi Latcham and Nic Jovanovic, who served as bridesmaid and groomsman in the ceremony, respectively, whilst Sylvia Jeffreys reported on all the action.
There were also a few surprises for guests during the special night. Jules had secretly co-written a song with friend Jeremy from Tillee Music, called Fire and Gold, which Jeremy performed for Cam and the 170 guests.
Jules also managed to surprise her groom by wearing a stunning feathered blush-pink tiered dress, designed by Nicky Velani, for the ceremony.
Snezana Markoski and Sam Wood
The couple who met on the third season of The Bachelor tied the knot in a small but stunning intimate ceremony surrounded by family and close friends at Byron Bay’s Fig Tree Restaurant in 2018.
Snezana looked like a true princess in her custom made lace gown by Pallas Couture surrounded by her bridesmaids dressed in neutral tones.
Guy and Jules Sebastian
In May 2008, the couple tied the knot in Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, followed by the reception at The Crystal Palace Room at Luna Park.
Inspired by the glamour of the 1940s, Jules opted for a silk taffeta gown with a bodice, Swarovski crystals and peach ostrich feathers.
