There’s something undeniably romantic about registry office weddings. They're simple and stress-free, but still personal. Proof that love doesn’t need all the bells and whistles to be meaningful. At Love Blooms we're obsessed with small, intimate ceremonies, and we want you to fall in love with them too.

The Focus is Entirely on Your Love

Without the distractions of a big wedding, registry office ceremonies feel so beautifully pared back. We can't think of anything better than two people choosing each other, surrounded by just a handful of loved ones (or sometimes no one else at all!). 

They're Perfect for Understated, But Elevated Florals

Registry office weddings pair perfectly with simple, romantic florals that don't have to be huge or over the top. A thoughtful bouquet, a handful of seasonal stems en masse, or a couple of perfect little buttonholes is often all it takes to make the moment feel intentional and special.

They Can Be Super Budget-Friendly

Choosing a registry office wedding often means freeing up your budget for the things that truly matter to you (Perhaps a honeymoon?). While flowers for a registry office wedding may be smaller in scale, that doesn't mean they have to be less beautiful. Whether you just want a delicate bouquet, or you want to add a few bud vases for a celebratory lunch - seasonal blooms are all you need to mark the day in an elevated way.

The Romance of the Day 

We love the way a registry office wedding can be just one part of a full, romantic day in the city together. Stay in a gorgeous Melbourne hotel, then walk (or even catch a tram!) to your ceremony together. After your vows, head to one of Melbourne’s incredible restaurants for a celebratory meal, before wandering through the gardens at golden hour. Your photographer will love following you around capturing relaxed, joy-filled moments. 

They Keep Things Simple 

Registry office weddings take away the stress of guest lists, seating charts, and endless to-do lists. All that’s left is the two of you, saying “I do.” And when you keep things simple, the little details (like your bouquet) become even more meaningful.

Two Itinerary Ideas For Registry Office Weddings in Melbourne 

We've put together a couple of dreamy itineraries for Melbourne registry office elopements. We'd also recommend asking your photographer - they'll be able to help with timings to make sure the day lines up nicely for the very best light, plus if they're a Melbourne local they'll probably also have a few hidden gems to add to the line-up. 

The Romantic Stroll

• Stay: Book a couple of nights at The Windsor or the Sofitel for an old-world, romantic feel.

• The Ceremony: Walk together to the Melbourne Registry Office for your vows. If you're having Guests, have them meet you on the beautiful steps of the Old Treasury Building.

• The Bouquet: We’d opt for either a moody bouquet or a pastel flower package. Both perfectly romantic, whimsical choices that feel just right for a city stroll.

• The Photographer: To capture the magic of the day, we’d book a Melbourne favourite like It’s Beautiful Here, Analog Modern, or Rolan John Photo. 

• Celebration: Enjoy a long lunch at Grossi Florentino or Gimlet.

• Golden Hour: Wander through the Carlton Gardens or Fitzroy Gardens for photos surrounded by flowers, trees, and that perfect evening light.

• Evening: End the day with a glass of wine (and a shared dessert, or two?) at Marion Wine Bar or Carlton Wine Room for the perfect romantic finish to your wedding day.

 

The Modern City Escape

• Stay: Treat yourself to a sleek boutique hotel like United Places, Melbourne Place or QT Melbourne.

• Ceremony: Catch a tram together to the registry office for your vows. 

• The Bouquet: We’d opt for a classic white and green bouquet (timeless and chic) or a moody flower package (for a touch of drama) to match the city vibe.

• The Photographer: For modern, editorial-style photography, we’d book Sofia Flinn, Nikola Janev, or Maegan Brown Moments. 

• Celebration: Book dinner at Cumulus Inc. or Supernormal to toast your marriage.

• Golden Hour: Head to the Botanic Gardens or the Yarra River for a few relaxed, city-meets-nature shots.

• Evening: Add a final stop for a rooftop drink at Her Bar, or 80's Tokyo inspired Disuko. For a moodier vibe, pop into apollo inn (or the nearby Dessous) for a life-changing cocktail to finish the day on a high note.
