real weddings: elis & zaroon

Elis & Zaroon’s wedding at Metropolis was a celebration of romance, culture, and unforgettable moments. With a soft pink and white colour palette, their vision transformed Metropolis into an elegant and welcoming space. From the suspended chandeliers above the reception to the floral installations layered throughout the room, every detail felt intentional and beautifully considered.

The celebration embraced the energy of a modern Melbourne wedding while maintaining a timeless sense of romance. As the evening unfolded and the skyline lit up beyond the venue’s glass windows, the space took on an entirely new atmosphere – glowing, vibrant, and even more spectacular against the night sky.

A Romantic Pink and White Colour Palette

The styling of Elis & Zaroon’s wedding centred around delicate pink tones paired with crisp white accents. This soft palette created a romantic atmosphere while still feeling clean and modern emphasised by the The elegant drooping orchid stems flowing down the arrangements and from the ceiling pieces.

Tables were dressed in elegant linens and layered with floral arrangements that echoed the larger installations around the room. Blush and white hydrangeas added softness and volume to the installations, while the  roses added movement and texture to each setting. Candlelight flickered across polished glassware and table details, giving the entire reception space a warm and inviting glow.

Statement Chandeliers and Floral Installations

Above the reception space, hanging crystal chandeliers and beaded crystal curtains created a striking visual moment. Suspended over the celebration, they added height, sparkle, and a sense of grandeur to the room.

These crystal chandeliers were paired with large circular floral displays that cascaded elegantly through the space. As the evening unfolded, the glow of the chandeliers reflected softly against the roses, hydrangeas and varied glass candle cylinder heights, transforming the room into an intimate and magical setting.

Every detail worked together to create a space that felt immersive and memorable for guests.

A Beautiful Arrival for Guests

As guests arrived at the venue, they were welcomed by the soft sound of a live violinist playing throughout the space – setting the tone for the celebration ahead.

The violinist returned at special moments throughout the evening. Paired with the glow of candlelight and the city skyline beyond the windows, it created a sense of occasion from the very beginning.

A Perfume Bar Experience for Guests

Elis & Zaroon included unique touches throughout their wedding that made the celebration feel personal and memorable. One of the highlights was a perfume bar set up outside the reception space.

Guests were invited to enjoy a sensory experience during the evening. It was an unexpected detail that encouraged conversation and added an extra layer of luxury to the celebration.

A Grand Entrance and Celebration

When it came time for Elis & Zaroon’s entrance, the energy of the evening shifted completely. The sound of live drummers filled the venue, building excitement as the couple made their way into the reception surrounded by rhythm and celebration.

The moment was vibrant, joyful, and full of life – the perfect way to begin the festivities.

Later in the evening, guests gathered around an impressive ten-tier wedding cake, that was decorated with white roses, and stood as a stunning centrepiece of the reception. Towering and elegant, it added a sense of scale that matched the grandeur of the celebration.

A Magical First Dance

One of the most memorable moments of the night came during Elis & Zaroon’s first dance. As they stepped onto the dance floor, soft smoke drifted across the room while bubbles floated gently through the air, creating a dreamy and cinematic moment.

Under the glow of the chandeliers and the city lights outside, the scene felt almost magical – a beautiful pause in the evening where time seemed to slow down.

A Night to Celebrate

As the night continued, the energy of the celebration only grew. Guests filled the dance floor while the DJ kept the music going late into the evening.

By the end of the night, Elis & Zaroon fully embraced the celebration themselves – jumping behind the DJ decks, using smoke guns, and handing out glow sticks as the dance floor erupted into one final moment of joy. It was spontaneous, playful, and the perfect ending to a night filled with love and laughter.
