Hi! I am Amelia, founder, head stylist and planner at Lavish Events.

Five years ago, I was an eager bride-to-be, however had know idea where to look or what to do! I had never been involved in a wedding, nor did I have any close friends or family go through the process.

​As most of us do, I bought every magazine, googled till the cows came home and asked everyone a million and one questions. What I found was an awful lot of information, and even less clarity of what I should do. I started by researching each supplier I needed, one by one, and looked at ways we could creatively save money.

As a Market Researcher, I have learnt how to negotiate, research thoroughly and assess multiple scenarios. Now having worked as an event planner and stylist for three years, I am well versed in the process, having completed many different events - weddings, engagements, christenings and bridal showers (even a bucks!), and loving helping clients make their vision come to life. I can't wait to help you make your dream event come true!

As a market researcher by day, I love to understand people (and their briefs). I've spent countless hours researching and working with suppliers, with the one mission of creating an affordable, yet LAVISH event.​

​The average wedding in Australia costs $38,500 and most couples blow their budget by at least 25%. I believe it doesn't have to be that way, and I know I can assist in saving money by being savvy and still producing the wedding that you have dreamed of.

After going through the wedding planning process myself — and now supporting so many others — I’ve realised a few things that continue to shape the way I work:

• There’s no “right” way to plan a wedding. There’s only what’s right for you

• You don’t need to do it all. Cut out what doesn’t serve you - no one will notice the things that stress you out

• Prioritise what matters to you, not what tradition or social media (or parents) says should matter

• The little things (like a well-timed coffee or calming a nervous parent) can make the biggest difference

• Weddings aren’t just about aesthetics - they’re emotional, personal, and sometimes overwhelming. Having someone in your corner can change everything

I have lived and learnt the process and understand the level of stress that an event brings. I am here to listen, help and let you have the seamless event that you deserve, because after all, isn't every event a celebration?

What have I LEARNT?
