Iconic Australian Celebrity Weddings That Made History
From Bindi Irwin's Australia Zoo ceremony to Margot Robbie's top-secret Byron Bay celebration — the most memorable Aussie celebrity weddings ever.
Iconic Australian Celebrity Weddings That Made History
Australia has hosted some of the most talked-about celebrity weddings in the world — and the best part for couples planning their own day? Almost every one of them holds a lesson you can actually use.
Bindi Irwin & Chandler Powell — Australia Zoo, 2020
Bindi Irwin married Chandler Powell on 25 March 2020 at Australia Zoo — the place her grandparents opened in 1970 and her family calls home. Planned for more than 200 guests, the ceremony was scaled back at the last minute to immediate family only as COVID restrictions hit, with brother Robert walking her down the aisle.
The takeaway: A meaningful venue beats a glamorous one. The Irwins chose the place that told their family's story — and when the guest list collapsed overnight, the day still felt completely them.
Margot Robbie & Tom Ackerley — Byron Bay, 2016
The gold standard of the secret celebrity wedding. In December 2016, Margot Robbie married Tom Ackerley on a private estate in the Coorabell hills behind Byron Bay, with around 50 guests, a white teepee-style marquee, and an understated lace gown. The world only found out when Margot flashed her ring on Instagram.
The takeaway: Privacy is luxury. A hinterland estate, a small guest list, and a relaxed boho brief created one of the most influential Australian weddings of the decade — and Byron Bay's wedding scene has never looked back.
Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban — Manly, Sydney, 2006
Still one of the most famous weddings ever held on Australian soil. On 25 June 2006, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban exchanged vows at the Cardinal Cerretti Chapel on Sydney's northern beaches in a candlelit ceremony, the bride in flowing Balenciaga, arriving by white Rolls-Royce.
The takeaway: Candlelight is the cheapest dramatic styling decision you can make. Two decades on, couples are still recreating that warm, intimate glow.
Rebel Wilson & Ramona Agruma — Sardinia, 2024
Proof that Aussies do destination weddings as well as anyone: Rebel Wilson married Ramona Agruma on 28 September 2024 at Hotel Cala di Volpe in Sardinia, the brides in coordinating off-the-shoulder Pronovias gowns.
The takeaway: Coordinated — not identical — outfits photograph beautifully, and an intimate guest list makes a far-flung destination achievable.
