Bridal Earrings — Kiera & Samuel's Hunter Valley Wedding by Zac Graham Photography
Under open skies and surrounded by the sculptural silhouettes of blooming florals, this Hunter Valley wedding was alive with energy and colour. Set on the rolling grounds of Wallalong House, every detail of the day felt intentionally uncontrived — a blend of personal meaning, vibrant design, and the kind of unfiltered joy that lingers long after the celebration ends.
The bride moved through the day in a draped strapless wedding gown by Australian bridal designer Kyha Studios — a piece that spoke of quiet strength and modern femininity. Its soft sculptural form and sweeping train offered drama without excess, allowing space for carefully chosen details to breathe. Her short hair was styled to perfection — softly tousled to reveal her neckline and frame the earrings with subtle edge. A refreshing, modern bridal look that felt bold and effortless all at once. Proof that there are indeed perfect wedding hairstyles for short hair.

Her only piece of wedding jewellery — our Layla Pearl Drop Earrings — became one of the day’s most sentimental details. A subtle nod to her mother, who wore pearls on her own wedding day, the Layla earrings added a poetic layer to the bride’s ensemble. Their natural freshwater drop, cradled in a luminous gold setting, offered more than just beauty — they became a tether to memory, to meaning, to legacy.

Delicate yet impactful, the Layla wedding earrings struck a balance between tradition and contemporary elegance. With their sculptural silhouette and natural form, they felt both understated and intentional — bridal jewellery that didn't compete with the gown but instead completed it. As she moved through the celebration, from ceremony to dance floor, the earrings caught light and held it, gently glowing in every frame.

As the sun dipped lower and golden light spilled across the estate, guests gathered beneath a billowing tent for an alfresco garden wedding reception. Draped in soft linens and strung with twinkling lights, the open-air setting offered a sense of relaxed elegance. Floral arrangements spilled across the tables, and laughter echoed through the evening air. It was a setting that invited connection — long conversations, spontaneous dancing, and heartfelt toasts under the stars.

Floral arrangements by Studio Sonder brought a kaleidoscope of colour — wild blooms in rich coral, rose, and flame tones cascaded across tables, arched through ceremony spaces, and framed moments with painterly intensity. The vibrancy of the palette mirrored the couple’s energy, infusing every vignette with light and movement.

Her glowing bridal make-up and wedding hair was the work of MBL Bridal, while Alex Haddon Hair gave her signature short hairstyle an elegant softness. Luminous skin, soft definition, and an intentional hair moment created a bridal look that felt both modern and romantic — polished without pretense.

The celebration unfolded through the lens of talented Sydney wedding photographer Zac Graham, whose documentary-style images captured the intimacy and electricity of the day. Framed in natural light, his wedding photographs told a story of connection — unfiltered and beautifully undone.

This was a wedding rich with contrast: heritage architecture layered with modern design, a sculptural gown softened by flowing pearls, bold florals offset by clean lines. A day of quiet statements and vibrant moments. A reflection of two people who chose to make the day entirely their own.
