Hi, I’m abby.
Director and Lead Planner at Bloom & Veil Events.
Born into Hospitality, trained in events, travel and tourism and spent the last 16 years building large scale events and weddings for big corps before opening Bloom & Veil in 2018. The work I am proudest of, before this, was solely managing some of Melbourne’s biggest wedding venues and running the major events department for the Melbourne Showgrounds. What I have carried into Bloom & Veil from those years is relationships, a love for curating a story, a styling eye, and an instinct for beauty through each individual.
I work alongside Kristy, co-planner and styling lead, with a background in Event Management, working her way around the world leading operations and events for a well-known sports car company. Kristy brings impeccable attention to detail and an unmatched calm that holds every wedding together.
Together, we are Bloom and Veil Events as it stands today: two people who deeply love what we do, from the first call to the last song.
who are we?
We listen first. Every wedding we design grows out of who you actually are — the way you speak to each other, the way you spend a slow Sunday, the specifics that mark you out. From there, we build.
The aesthetic is poised and uncluttered. It draws on your brief, the venue you have chosen, and years of work in this industry — the suppliers we know, the venues we have spent time in, the calls we have learnt how to make. Personal touches arrive naturally, because they have been chosen with care and consideration.
Bloom & Veil pairs the operational rigour of a planner with the design eye of a stylist. The two belong in the same conversation. The result is a wedding that feels the way it looks — and looks the way it feels.

"Everything we offer comes from sixteen years of doing this — the suppliers we've come to trust, the venues we know by heart, and knowing, in the moment, exactly what to do."

"I came to weddings from years of running events around the world. What stayed with me was the same instinct — the discipline of a well-planned room, and the quiet pride of watching it work."
Co-Planner & Styling LeadOUR VALUES
Expertise, earned over years. Our knowledge of venues, suppliers, and the operational mechanics of a wedding has been built over time. We bring it to every brief — the right florist for your aesthetic, the photographer whose work fits how you want to be remembered, the linen supplier who will meet your budget with poise.
Industry relationships, nurtured. The wedding supplier network is small and trust-based. We have earned our place in it carefully. When we make a recommendation, you are inheriting a relationship — not just a contact.
Honesty, in every conversation. We say what we think. About your supplier list, your budget, your timeline, your guest list. The harder things to say are often the most useful, and we say them with care.
A real love for the people we plan for. We choose the couples we work with thoughtfully, and we commit to a small client list each year so that those couples receive the attention they are owed. The work of planning a wedding is, at its heart, the work of looking after people. We love that part of it.
Creativity, grounded in feel. Our design language is built around how a wedding will feel — for you, for your guests, in the room. We borrow from architecture, the landscape, the tablescape, the textures and the vision you want. The aesthetic emerges from your brief — who you are, where you are getting married, what the room asks for.
Attention to the specifics that matter. Some specifics shape the way a wedding feels. The linen on the table. The music transition between ceremony and reception. The light at six in the evening. Those are the ones we spend our time on.
