Model and actress Ellie Gonsalves weds entrepreneur Ross Scutts in a lavish two-day wedding on the Gold Coast
Model and influencer Ellie Gonsalves wed her longtime partner Ross Scutts in two luxurious ceremonies over the weekend.
The 33-year-old’s official wedding took place at La Luna floating beach club on the Gold Coast in an intimate Toi et Moi wedding.
They followed up with a second luxury gathering, to which they invited their bridal party and other guests, Vogue reported Saturday.
Gonsalves said she originally just wanted to flee overseas with her entrepreneur beau, but changed her mind after visiting “Mediterranean-inspired” La Luna.
The actress went on to say that the lovebirds knew from the start they wanted a “really intimate” ceremony with just the two of them, and hired wedding planner Alysia Bridger to help organize it.

“We wanted our ceremony to be really intimate. We both lost our fathers, so we always knew it was going to be an emotional day,” said the former Big Brother VIP star.
“We got married how we started, just him and me. We celebrate our love in any special way that we can imagine.’
Attendees at the first ceremony included wedding planner Alysia, her dog Daisy, who acted as ring bearer, celebrant Jake Smith, videographer Caio Souza and photographer Lauren Shulz.
The Wildlife Warrior Ambassador wore a long-sleeved gown by designer Sam Oglialoro and stylist Paul Versace, featuring a sheer neckline and floral appliqués along the fitted bodice and dramatic train.
One of three dresses she wore throughout the weekend, the luxe piece featured a plunging neckline that emphasized her assets and highlighted her glamorous Alex Perrin makeup.
She accessorized with a 1920s-style veil adorned with flower petals that matched her platinum blonde pixie cut styled by Brodie Tsiknaris, as well as a wealth of classic diamond jewelry designed by Calleija.

Gonsalves revealed that she and Sam, the founder of Oglia-Loro Couture, “have worked together for years” and “he has a mannequin of my body shape with my exact measurements in his office.”
She, along with Styled By Bloom’s Paul, “all chose three couture dresses – a ceremony dress, a reception dress and a party dress.”
“I’m really a reserved girl, but if your boyfriend and one of the best wedding dress designers in the world wants to make you three dresses, you say yes,” Gonsalves said.
Gonsalves walked down an aisle above the pool at La Luna carrying a bouquet of white flowers with a photo of her late father attached, before she and her new husband celebrated with a private dinner served by celebrity chef Alastair McLeod.
