Married in March 2022, Anastasia and Matthew’s wedding at the Projekt 3488 is truly an urban fairytale. Together with the moody setting of this magical Yarra Valley wedding venue and the charming couple, I felt their wedding is definitely the one worth to be sharing with you today.

Anastasia wore the Janine A-line wedding gown from our Melbourne wedding dresses collection, this stunning A-line wedding gown that features a statement-making lace belt reflect her exact vision of their wedding.

The Venue

The bold slogan by the venue says for itself: the most unique Yarra Valley wedding venue, Ana and Dylan’s wedding at the Projekt 3488 is bound to be something truly special. Nestled between the sweeping mountains of the scenic Yarra Valley, featuring industrial furniture, contemporary lighting as well as interesting repurposed timbers, this converted Masonic Lodge represents a perfect balance of modern construction and natural worlds.

The Favourite Moment

‘The best moment from my wedding day is definitely the perfect fitting of our costumer and the venue, we found our perfect wedding venue and the wedding dress, it is like everything became together when we sat our foot into the room’ Ana says. ‘Honestly when we were at the beginning of the wedding planning, we had little idea but one thing that I quickly managed to stand on the same page is that we both wanted a unique and fashionable one. For the wedding, Matthew chose a 2-buttom grid navy jacket which added in just a little bit of cheekiness and uniqueness. For my wedding gown Janine from Bella E La Bestia Bridal, I am just so glad that this stunning A-line wedding dress offered things exactly I wanted: fashion, elegance, and a uniqueness. I cannot remember how many guests came to me and compliment her.

Finding the dream wedding Gown

For her wedding at the projekt 3488, Ana knew at the start that she wanted a stylish and unique wedding gown that looks awesome in both the bushes of the Yarra Valley as well as inside the industrial inspired venue. ‘I wanted my wedding dress to be elegant and unique, and ideally not too heavy so I can walk easily with Matthew around the venue either taking stunning wedding photos or just mingling with my guests, plus I am always a big fan on the D floor at night.’

Janine is an enchanting A-line wedding gown featuring a statement lace belt that accentuates a bride’s waist. Its beautiful V-shaped neckline boast a beautiful decolletage and elongates the body to highlight the waisted fit of the gown. This wedding gown is truly unique while adding in an extra touch of romance to the bridal look. ‘Soon as the friendly team consultant at Bella E La Bestia Bridal introduced me to Janine, I immediately knew this is the one. Janine is available in both cashmere and ivory finish, and I really felt in love with the natural tone offered by cashmere and with this colour, the lace could stand out perfectly from the fabric. ‘
