One part of the Gogglebox Australia trio with her mum Kerry and nana Emmie, Isabelle Silbery has become a fixture on our screens, with audiences loving her candid nature and quick-witted humour.

And this week, Isabelle married her fiancé Alex Richards in an intimate ceremony in Sorrento, Victoria.

The wedding had many of us captivated from the snippets documented on Instagram, especially Isabelle's two fabulous dresses. But, to get a behind-the-scenes understanding of what the wedding planning was like, the wish for her son to be involved in the big day, and all the other special details, Isabelle was kind to share all withMamamia.

After a few weeks of chatting on Instagram, Isabelle felt a connection with Alex. They had both just recently been through a breakup and were relaying their experiences first as friends and confidants before a romantic connection formed. And just like many couples in these COVID-normal times, Isabelle and Alex got to know one another best while isolating together amid Melbourne lockdowns.

"It was like an experiment,MAFSalmost. We could not leave the house. We were in trackies on the couch, binged Netflix, cooked, drank wine and danced to John Course. We spent hours chatting and instantly bonded. It was a fast tracked relationship and one month felt like six as we were literally stuck together in a house!" Isabelle recalled.

For Isabelle, she knew he was her person as soon as she introduced him to her son.

She said toMamamia:"They bonded immediately, and he was so good with him. Just getting through lockdown, homeschooling and the day-to-day domestics - all while falling in love - consolidated it for me."

So six months into the relationship, Alex proposed - while the pair were watchingThe Bachelor!

"It was fitting that he proposed on the couch, however I didn’t know what was going on and asked him to shhhhhh as it was the middle of the show! When I saw him take off his own ring which his parents had given him for his 18th and take my hand, I realised. I screamed YES and of course started crying."

As expected, COVID became quite the hurdle when it came to wedding planning. Isabelle and Alex ended up changing the date of their big day three times, and were even feeling nervous about their confirmed wedding date given the impact of interstate and overseas border restrictions.

But for Isabelle personally, "planning our wedding was far from stressful - it was refreshingly enjoyable", the couple deciding to outsource some of the challenging admin and vision ideas to The Big Group hospitality agency.

As for what they were looking for in a wedding day, for Isabelle and Alex it was all about keeping things simple and naturally beautiful.

"We wanted to embrace the natural surroundings of Alex’s family house that’s been in the family for generations down on the back beach of Sorrento, Victoria. FlowerJar were just brilliant. They foraged on the property for native fauna. We also chose Sarah & Sebastian to design our wedding rings as they are an Australian made and owned company who are strong supporters of the Australian Marine Conservation Society which we loved," Isabelle shared.

It was also a mutual friend of the couple's that set them up together, Georgia Love, who facilitated the ceremony in conjunction with friend Bridgette Kelly from Love is Love Celebrants. Surrounding trees were lit up "like Alice in Wonderland", and pontoon lights led down to a grand marquee on the lawn. Photography was by The White Tree Creative.

Ultimately, the theme for the entire wedding was #festivaloflove. And what a festival of love it really was.

"We wanted the people in our lives all together in one place to celebrate. I think because of so many relentless lockdowns, everyone was ready for a party, and they were in great form. There was so much love in the room. It was electric."

Isabelle and Alex were fortunate to have most of their guest list be able to attend the big day. Isabelle's fellow Goggleboxers fromGogglebox Australiawere in attendance, people who she describes are "like family".

Although some were sadly unable to attend. "Unfortunately COVID did take away our beloved Anastasia fromGoggleboxwho is very sick and we really missed her. Angie Kent was also missed as she was recovering from surgery. Also one of our MCs Talith didn't want to take the risk of travelling from QLD due to the ongoing craziness with different rules for different states!"

As for the bridal party and other wedding traditions, Isabelle chose to keep things intimate.

"My mum has always been one to allow and encourage me to always 'do what you want despite what society thinks you should do'. So we felt comfortable embracing some of the traditional wedding components like a bridal party and veil and ditching what didn't align with us like a cake, long speeches and a sit down formal meal."
