Welcome to Cut the Cake - your go-to space for navigating the wonderful (and sometimes overwhelming) world of wedding planning. If you’re elbow-deep in inspiration boards, feeling the pressure to get every detail just right, or simply craving honest advice from people who get it, you’re in the right place.
Each week, we pull back the curtain on hot wedding topics, chat with leading industry pros, and answer your burning questions with zero fluff and plenty of laughs. I’m Melanie - planner, stylist, and coordinator - and I’m Tania, turning your vision into bold stationery and signage. Together, we’re here to make your planning journey as memorable as the big day itself.
Hey there! I’m Melanie,. Founder, head planner, stylist and co-creator at Mellyrain Creative. I’m a sucker for luxe countryside weddings in Regional Victoria. There’s something magical about getting hitched hillside. Signing certificates at sunset. Swooning under the stars deep within mountain ranges.
My love story with weddings began in 2017. At the time, I was organising large-scale events for the likes of Paul McCartney, the Australian Open and Sia. My bro was planning his wedding on our Shepparton family property. Buuut he had no idea how to turn vision into reality. Not to mention planning, styling and coordinating it on the day. He just wanted to sip mid-morning whiskey on the rocks with friends instead! So I took the reins. Applied my logistical know-how and creative flair to bring his day to life. And the rest is history.
Today I curate vendor lineups and create one-of-a-kind experiences for dreamy destination weddings across Victoria’s countryside.

Hey! I’m Tania, founder and creative director of the Event Wanderer Co. I'm the girl who can’t start my day with a coffee and whilst I’m a Tassie girl at heart, the coastal waters of Gippsland is where I call home with partner in crime Nick and our furchild Ralph, aka our Chief Pawfection Officer.
I’ve been in the event industry for well over a decade and when I say I know how stressful event planning is, I’m not lying… Sleepless nights, spreadsheets, endless lists of names and paperwork… Yep, been there, done that! Ever heard of a little tennis tournament called Australian Open? Yep? Well, that is where my event management background flourished, but I was planning corporate events long before then during a lengthy tenure in London.
So, I get it… & I have the t-shirt to prove it! In terms of your wedding, my talents lie now lay in design and specifically, your stationery and on the day signage. I’m here to bring your wedding day vision to life in paper, ink, acrylic, wax and so much more! If it’s stationery related, I’m your girl and the inner stationery nerd in me will come and out shine!
