He’s known for his opulent designs and meticulous attention to detail.
So it was no surprise that Australian haute couture designer Alin Le’ Kal pulled out all the stops when it came to planning his own wedding last month.
The couturier, who famously appeared on Real Housewives of Melbourne, married his fiancée Hind in an enchanted forest-themed soirée at Melbourne’s Plaza Ballroom – complete with extravagant decor, a star-studded guest list and multiple wedding dresses.

‘We were inspired by trees, natural beauty and an elegant, royal feel,’ Alin told Daily Mail Australia.
The breathtaking decor included 40 custom-made chandeliers and birdcages that were transported to Melbourne from Sydney for the event.
Floral installations by luxury floral stylist John Emmanuel and custom-made ‘trees’ made from live fresh foliage festooned the sprawling function room, while a bespoke monogrammed dance floor gave the room a regal ambience.

As expected, Alin created Hind’s bespoke bridal look, creating not one but two gowns for his queen to wear.
The first gown was worn to the church ceremony and featured hand-beaded pearl detailing and wave-inspired pleating, while the second was a blush ballroom gown with white beading and a square neckline.
Hind was also dripping in diamonds by Melbourne jeweller Anton Jewellery for her big day.

Alin and Hind’s guest list also included some familiar faces, including Real Housewives of Melbourne stars Gamble Breaux, Pettifleur Berenger, Lydia Schiavello and Simone Elliott.
Alin and Hind worked with acclaimed wedding planner Diane Khoury to make their dream nuptials a reality – a decision that Alin said made all the difference.
Diane is well known for styling headline-making celebrity events, including footy star-turned-businessman Lou Zivanovic’s nuptials to wife Olivia Milazzo last year.
‘My best advice to couples that want to throw a big lavish wedding is to plan ahead and really have someone there to coordinate and organise your whole event,’ he advised.
‘Our wedding planner was asking questions that we had never thought of asking if we were to do it on our own.’
