“Navigating wedding vendors as a queer couple started out daunting however Jam was the perfect guide through the maze that is getting married! From our first meeting to signing the certificate, Jam was there with her cool, calm and confident vibes, always ready to answer my (many) questions. She became the foundation of our process. All parts of our ceremony were so personalised, with her magic touches (Polaroids of the journey, incense and golden vow cards to name a few!) making everything that much more special. If we could get married all over again we’d choose Jam every time.”

Demi and Alaska came to me with their dreams of getting hitched in amongst a spectacular visual feast of deliciousness and their ceremony was BEYOND… it delivered that and more.

Demi was enchanted with Alaska when she saw a low res video of her singing wayyyy back when they were just babes in high school up in Brisbane. Demi then low key followed Alaska across all social media platforms and became her No.1 fan, even when Alaska moved down to Melbourne. Before they knew it these cuties become long distance BFFs through daily texts and calls, with Alaska often checking in at the end of her day and having Demi ‘walk’ her home on the phone.

Demi finally got to quickly meet Alaska in person when she flew down to Melbourne to see a gig. Their brief encounter re-affirmed that there was something special between the two friends. As friends they embarked on several trips overseas to do all of the cute things in Korea. With each trip they grew a little bit closer… dreaming about the possibility of studying and living together there and sharing a room and/or bed.

They eventually realised part of that dream when Demi finally made the move down to Melbourne and into a sharehouse with Alaska. It was there where our two babes found their friendship blurred as they becamse inseperable, often seen holding hands and having regular sleepovers in each other’s rooms. Their underlying feelings for each other threatening to take over, with a cheeky birthday kiss on the lips that went unchecked.

It was not until Demi flew to NYC that Alaska finally came to the realisation that this was the real deal, now that she’s had Demi out of the phone and in her real life, she doesn’t ever want her to go. So upon Demi’s return Alaska firmly hinted that if Demi were to ask Alaska to be her girlfriend… the answer wouldn’t be no. And that’s how our BFFs became Tiny Girlfriends. Their ‘jelly love’ enables them to mould their love into whatever they need it to be, it allows them to grow, shift and come back to each other.

On November 11th 2023 Alaska and Demi became Tiny Wives exactly 5 years after they became Tiny Girlfriends. Demi proposed to Alaska on their 3 year anniversary with a lush picnic set up within Footscary gardens. Their decision to become Tiny Wives is a total power move, in order to demonstrate that their queer femme love is 100% valid and beautiful AF!!! They’re already living their best lives and getting married is just a party to top it all off. But Demi would be so happy if she could inspire other quote ‘baby lezzies’ out there to see just how fucking fabulous a queer life and love could be.

So for their hyper queer femme wedding, our lovers assembled a stella team of vendors to help realise their vision of celebrating their epic girl love. Their ceremony was set within Arc One Gallery on Flinders Lane, featuring works by Chinese artist Guan Wei. The space was further elevated with floral sculptures and arrangements by one of Melbourne’s hottest floral artists Kayla Moon of XFlos.

Our stunning brides Demi and Alaska had perfectly currated their sexy fairy/goddess outfits teamed with spealised nails by their BFF, Dawn of Quiche Nail Studio. Every little detail from having their girl gang on point, with their fav DJ BBSanii providing the tunes, to a drop dead gorgeous cake by Kefe Keke and to Demi personally embroidering each guests’ name place cards with their zodiac signs, it all meant that there was just so much love and thought that went into the planning of this incredible celebration.
