Restaurateur Simon Gloftis and his fiancée Madeline Cara tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Calile Hotel in Brisbane on Sunday.
The Queensland high society couple said ‘I do’ in front of friends and family in a glamorous union, with Madeline all smiles as she donned an elegant white gown.
Guests in attendance included famous faces such as The Veronicas sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso, who arrived in their signature goth attires.
The blushing bride opted for a structured corset bodice to her wedding dress, with a conservative sweetheart neckline and loose, sheer skirts.
Matching sleeves barely clung to her shoulders as a long train trailed behind her.
Madeline let her natural beauty shine through as she went for a minimal makeup look with a nude lip and soft eye shadow.
