RealWeddings Guide
Weddings of Desire is led by founder Laura Harvey, who built the business from an early wedding inspiration blog — balancing it with early motherhood — into a full-service ultra-luxury wedding planning and styling studio with over eight years of dedicated event management experience (and a business history stretching back well over a decade).
The studio is positioned as one of Victoria's leading specialists in private-property wedding venues, curating "the most fashion-forward, design minded weddings and events in and beyond greater Melbourne, Victoria," for couples wanting genuinely bespoke, no-corners-cut celebrations rather than a templated package.
Laura describes her personal aesthetic as "timeless luxe, with a fun and relaxed vibe," deliberately working to each client's individual brief rather than following passing trends, and drawing style inspiration from US market decor adapted for Australian settings.
Her process uses a structured styling template guiding couples through every detail of their day — from invitations to linens — to ensure a cohesive final result, with particular attention paid even to finer elements like typography and material quality.
Beyond weddings, the studio has also undertaken commercial/product styling work for brands including Koch & Co, David Jones and Madison magazine. The business's most publicly visible work includes Ella and Mack's wedding at Stones of the Yarra Valley, featured in Vogue Australia, produced alongside florist Flowers St Germain.
Weddings of Desire services Geelong, greater Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and beyond, drawing on an extensive network of trusted supplier partners — including furniture hire specialist Timbermill Designs — rather than a large owned decor inventory.

Testimonials
Laura and the team at Weddings of Desire ensured a seamless wedding journey, which was overlayed with her warmth, enthusiasm and energy.
She has a way of making you feel as though you’re her only current client, going the extra mile and adding her personal touch and creative flair in the most elegant way.
There were a few aspects of our special day which we didn’t brief Laura on, leading to our own jaw dropping moments our guests also received.
Laura works so hard to bring your day to life, and we couldn’t have pulled off our dream day without her.
Tom and I could not recommend Laura and her incredible team more highly.
Laura in particular is one of the hardest workers I think I’ve ever met.
She has incredible attention to detail, a great sense of humour, relentless work ethic, and exceptional attention to detail.
I also really admired how her primary focus was always on creating a day that felt great, not just looks great! The depth of her relationships with other suppliers was also very evident by how seamless the whole day came together, undoubtedly as a result of a lot of work behind the scenes.
I always really loved our funny chats in the lead up, she is a genuinely inspirational businesswoman and person and I loved getting to know her. She also knows how to carry a slab (or forty)!! There isn’t much more I can say other than we are so completely indebted to her for giving us the best day of our lives.
The team aims to respond within 48 hours, Monday to Friday — weekends and wedding season are reserved for couples' celebrations.
