MEL: HOT OR NOT is the decisive guide to Melbourne, but it’s also a diary for myself, my family and friends, detailing all of my comings and goings in my home town.
So it feels a bit strange to post a restaurant critique, a film review or an interview at the moment – as tomorrow is my wedding day. I’m going to have a new husband and a new name! I’m excited, nervous and feeling a little bit hyperactive and I just hope that the day goes smoothly for everyone.
And if you happen to see me flitting around the city in a long white strapless dress and the most expensive shoes I’ve ever owned, wave hello!
As for the blog, service will resume as per usual on Monday :–)












Oh my goodness! Congratulations Joyce, how exciting! Do spoil us with a few pictures of the day and the dress later!
Congratulations! i wish you all the very best for your special day. wow, those are some very noice shoes! i wonder if you’ll be taking photos of the food at the wedding reception for us

Congratulations! The weather was wonderful and I’m sure you were the most exquisite bride!
Thank you to everyone for their best wishes!
We had a great day! I was terribly nervous when I woke up at 3:30am (!) with a million thoughts running through my head but the day relaxed into a fun catch up with my friends and family in beautiful Melbourne.
I cried, he cried, the crowd cried and everything was good

Hi Lisa
My favourite place for eveningwear/cocktail dresses is Stellini in Howey Place, off Little Collins Street. It’s also the place I got my wedding dress, which was a simple strapless white affair. As for the shoes, the ones in the picture are Christian Louboutin, exclusively stocked by net-a-porter.com.
