On the 23rd of April 2026, surrounded by their closest friends and family, Ciara and Josh celebrated the beginning of their forever at Osteria Weddings. With its warm, romantic setting and effortlessly elegant atmosphere, the venue perfectly reflected the couple’s vision of a day that felt vibrant, joyful, and full of life.
“We wanted the day to feel fun, romantic, and colourful,” Ciara shared, a vision that came to life in every detail of the celebration.
Ciara wore a custom gown created with AFTER FIVE, a design that felt entirely her own. Featuring a structured silhouette, personalised fabric selection, a corset back, delicate pearl detailing, and of course… pockets, the gown was both timeless and uniquely personal. Effortless yet refined, it perfectly complemented a day centred around love, celebration, and individuality.
From vibrant styling to unforgettable experiences, their wedding was a true reflection of their story; playful, heartfelt, and filled with joy.

WHO PROPOSED AND HOW?
Josh proposed during their holiday in Japan, having planned the entire trip as a surprise. On the very first day, at the top of Tokyo Skytree overlooking the city, he got down on one knee. It was a surreal and unforgettable moment, the perfect way to begin their next chapter together.
WHAT INSPIRED YOUR WEDDING STYLING OR AESTHETIC?
“I wanted the day to feel fun, romantic, and colourful, very much a springtime vibe,” Ciara shared.
Guests were encouraged to wear colour, bringing a vibrant energy to the day. Bridesmaids wore soft baby yellow, while the florals featured a mix of pinks, yellows, oranges, white, and touches of blue.
The couple also focused on creating an experience for their guests, incorporating a margarita tower, photo booth, whiskey and cigar bar, and a gelato cart. Their photos at Cabarita Headland added a breathtaking, natural backdrop to the celebration.
TALK US THROUGH YOUR DRESS:
“After visiting a few different bridal boutiques, After Five Bridal was completely different,” Ciara shared.
Working closely with the team, she customised every detail of her gown, from selecting the fabric to adding a corset back, pearl detailing, and pockets. “It felt so personal, and I just knew it was the one.”
WHAT WAS THE BEST MOMENT FOR YOU AT YOUR WEDDING?
“For us, it was creating a day that felt like an experience,” Ciara shared. “Having all our favourite people together, enjoying every little detail we had planned, it was just the best feeling.”

Ciara and Josh’s wedding was a celebration of colour, personality, and modern romance, a day that felt effortlessly them, filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
