From Salty Sea Proposals to Dutch-Inspired Drama: Daniela and Jonโ€™s Love Story Hits Every Note:
Art, Elegance & Intentional Designโ€”Inside Their Whimsical, Black-Tie Wedding Affair at Portsea Hotel on the Mornington Peninsula.

Daniela and Jonโ€™s wedding day was the perfect blend of heart, style, and art โ€” all built on the most dreamy love story. Their journey began with weekend escapes to Number 16 Beach during Melbourneโ€™s lockdown, where crashing waves and quiet moments became their special escape. Fast forward to their 3-year anniversary, Jon popped the question mid jump-shot (yes, literally!) on that same beach โ€” Daniela in a dress and stockings, totally shocked and sobbing with joy. Their wedding was a stunning, artful affair inspired by Dutch still life paintings, a nod to Danielaโ€™s love for galleries and her grandfatherโ€™s Rembrandt-inspired art. With dramatic florals, exotic fruits, XL candles, and deep green tones to tie it all together โ€” plus custom coasters from their own marble business โ€” the styling was bold, intentional, and deeply personal. Danielaโ€™s high-neck Paolo Sebastian gown inspired a sleek, modern bun and timeless makeup that kept her cool on the dance floor and glowing all day long. From the salty sea proposal to the black-tie magic, their day was nothing short of unforgettable.
