Wedded Wonderland’s concierge stepped onto one of Australia’s most exciting new travel stages, and the result was nothing short of spectacular.
Melbourne’s iconic Royal Exhibition Building was transformed into a world-class travel destination on 16-17 May 2026, as Luxury Escapes Live made its debut as a first-of-its-kind, large-scale consumer travel event bringing together more than 100 global travel partners across the globe.
The event gathered the best of the travel industry; from aviation, hospitality, cruising, and destinations. Interactive activations with bookable packages, event-only offers, celebrity travel tips, giveaways and integrated digital follow-up entertained its thousands of guests, making it far more than a traditional expo. Guests could expect exclusive offers, thousands of prizes, expert advice and bucket-list destination inspiration all under one roof.
For a brand built on connecting people with the world’s most extraordinary places, Luxury Escapes Live was a natural home for Wedded Wonderland. It just made sense.
As an official partner of Luxury Escapes Live, Wedded Wonderland brought its signature lens that sits at the intersection of love, travel, and luxury. As the platform that connects high-intent couples with the most trusted venues, planners, and wedding professionals across 54+ countries, the partnership with Luxury Escapes was a seamless one. Both brands share the same north star: making extraordinary experiences accessible.
The Wedded Wonderland team were on the ground in Melbourne, amplifying the event across their global community and shining a spotlight on the travel brands and experiences that matter most to couples planning their forever.
The Wedded Concierge stand was a moment in itself. A carefully considered, beautifully executed installation that stopped attendees in their tracks. It took a dedicated team of Melbourne’s finest creative and production talent to bring it to life.
LNR Events is powered by an industry professional with two decades of experience in creating unique corporate events and milestone celebrations that captivate and engage attendees.
Led by Elena, the boutique studio specialises in thoughtfully curated private gatherings, handled with intention and precision. Her orchestration of the Wedded Concierge stand was a masterclass in turning a vision into a living, breathing space.
Behind the stand’s elegant props was Hazel Events & Prop Hire, Melbourne’s go-to for premium prop styling across all occasions.
Their signature white curtain draping creates the ultimate high-end aesthetic, blocking backgrounds perfectly and bringing a bridal elegance to any space. For the Wedded Concierge stand, the drapery created that instantly recognisable sense of occasion: soft, sophisticated, and utterly transportive.
Flowers took the stage, care of Once Upon a Flower, a Victoria-based wedding supplier specialising in premium floral products, from centrepieces and arches to floral backdrops and more.
Daleeda operates the studio and is well-known for her creativity and excellent customer service, with a particular skill for creating floral decorations and finding unique items to use in styling an event. Her florals brought warmth, romance, and that unmistakable bridal energy to the stand.
Harry the Hirer led production, offering event furniture, hospitality, temporary marquees, signage and technical production for hire. The production backbone of the stand, Harry the Hirer ensured every element landed exactly as intended.
A stunning, intricately beaded gown was on display, designed by Silvia Khoshaba Couture, the well-known bridal designer that offers customers unique and timeless couture gowns.
The label is best known for its romantic, figure-flattering silhouettes adorned with delicate lace and opulent fabrics. The gown on display was a breathtaking centrepiece, a reminder of what awaits every bride who begins her planning journey with Wedded Concierge.
The finishing touch? Custom decals by Decal It that brought the Wedded Concierge branding to life throughout the stand, adding that polished, editorial quality that elevated the space from beautiful to truly branded.
At its heart, Wedded Concierge takes your dreams and turns them into seamless itineraries, so couples can focus on what matters. It is a white-glove service for people who believe their wedding and honeymoon should be as extraordinary as the love they’re celebrating.
That is precisely the spirit of Luxury Escapes Live.
The couples walking through the Royal Exhibition Building that weekend weren’t there for generic travel. They were there because they believe in experiences, in choosing the room that takes your breath away, the flight that arrives already feeling like a holiday, the destination that feels like it was made for you. Those are exactly the couples Wedded Concierge exists to serve.
The exhibitor floor was a curated universe of luxury travel, and the names that shared the space with Wedded Concierge tell the whole story.
Garuda Indonesia brought the warmth and world-famous hospitality of Indonesia’s national carrier, which offers a direct route to Bali, Lombok, and beyond for couples dreaming of an island honeymoon.
Cathay Pacific represented the pinnacle of long-haul luxury, a carrier that connects Australia to the world via Hong Kong with some of the finest business class products in the sky.
Passport Card offered soon-to-be-married couples a smarter, stress-free way to manage money across their honeymoon; a travel insurance provider famous for loading payouts onto a physical card for instant medical and travel emergencies. The collaboration featured major prize giveaways, such as Maldives trips and gift cards.
Global Ballooning Australia brought a touch of magic that stopped the room. For over 30 years, Global Ballooning Australia has been Victoria’s most experienced and awarded hot air balloon company. Melbourne remains the only major city in the world where commercial hot air balloons are able to fly over the CBD, and for couples who want a proposal or honeymoon moment unlike any other, this is as close to flying as love gets.
Together, these brands, alongside Wedded Concierge, painted a picture of what modern luxury looks like for couples in 2026: connected, considered, deeply personal, and seamless. Not luxury for luxury’s sake, but experiences that feel earned, curated, and completely unforgettable.
That is the Wedded Concierge promise. And Melbourne just got a taste of it.
