As we count down to Australian television’s wedding of the year, we’re taking a look at all the details that made Cameron Merchant and Jules Robinson’s wedding day an affair to remember.
The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Beta Bar in Sydney on Sunday, November 17.
Jules wore a strapless white Cinderella-style gown for the occasion, which has been teased only in brief clips in promos for tonight’s special event episode of A Current Affair.
The custom-made gown was created by Nicky Velani, a couture designer of bridal, red carpet and evening wear dresses.
Some of Australia’s most well-known stars and fashion icons are fans of the atelier, with recent Bachelorette Angie Kent and Doctor Doctor star Belinda Bromilow among those who’ve frequently been spotted wearing the label.
Velani – which operates on an appointment only basis in Sydney – has become a red carpet staple in recent years, with their creations often gracing the best-dressed wrap ups.
Jules Robinson wears Velani at her engagement party in May.
Scroll through to see some of the incredible red carpet looks created by this celeb-approved Australian designer…
