Elise Trevallion’s - From Lake Como Proposal to Her Italian Summer-inspired Wedding

The Bridal Journey Podcast

Show Notes

Welcome to a new episode of The Bridal Journey Podcast! Today, we have the pleasure of chatting with the stunning Elise Trevallion, née Faust, who recently tied the knot with her husband Alexander in a beautiful garden wedding about threes. From her engagement in Lake Como to the three breathtaking bridal dresses she wore on her wedding day, Elise takes us through her journey of creating a deeply personal wedding filled with classic elegance.

In this episode, Elise shares the story of her romantic proposal at Lake Como and how it influenced the mood and theme of her wedding. She reveals the significance behind her three-part wedding—featuring three bridal dresses and a unique personal touch: incorporating tulle from her mother's wedding bouquet as her 'something old.'

We also dive into the inspiration behind the venue, Palladio Arcadia, which felt like a slice of Tuscany in Sydney. We also discuss the thoughtful details that brought the Italian summer soirée vibe to life, including baby blue and lemon yellow tablescaping and custom Bec + Bridge bridesmaids’ dresses. Elise talks us through her makeup look, floral arrangements, and expert advice for brides choosing their gowns.
