An Epic Love Story: The Wedding of May & Paolo

A Legendary Love – Zelda-Inspired Elegance

On a sunlit January day in Perth, May and Paolo celebrated a love story that was truly the stuff of legends. Their wedding was a masterclass in personal, elegant design, weaving a subtle, romantic theme inspired by The Legend of Zelda through a day of timeless tradition and modern grandeur, from a heartfelt ceremony at St Mary's Cathedral to a spectacular reception at Optus Stadium.

For guests, the adventure began with a custom-designed invitation suite that was both unique and breathtakingly romantic. A geometric layout in a palette of midnight blue and soft lilac hinted at the fantasy theme, while delicate florals kept it grounded in classic wedding elegance. Enclosed in a deep navy envelope with a red wax seal, it was an unforgettable prelude to the epic celebration to come.

The theme was carried through to the reception with seamless artistry. At each place setting, a coordinated menu awaited, thoughtfully personalized with the guest's name. The design perfectly echoed the sophisticated layout and subtle motifs of the invitations, creating a cohesive and immersive experience for everyone who shared in their day.

May and Paolo’s wedding was a beautiful testament to a love story that is uniquely theirs. It was a day of personal touches, grand romance, and subtle magic, creating a legendary start to their new life together.
