When international football stars Ellie Carpenter and Daniëlle van de Donk tied the knot in the romantic French countryside, their special day made headlines, most notably in Vogue Australia. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Château Hermitage de Combas, the wedding was a celebration of elegance, authenticity, and love. But before the ceremony and the cameras, there was a moment of calm: the getting-ready hours. And for that, Ellie and her bridal party chose Homebodii, Australia’s leading bridal sleepwear brand.

For her bridesmaids, the morning began in coordinated black Luna Robes, an iconic Homebodii look beloved by bridal parties worldwide. 

Together, the bridal party embodied everything Homebodii stands for; celebrating beauty in the quiet in-between moments. From champagne toasts to last-minute love notes, each touchpoint was framed by flowing lace robes, soft blush tones, and the kind of joy only a wedding morning can bring.

As Australia's leading bridal sleepwear brand, Homebodii is proud to be the choice for modern brides who seek elevated comfort, elegance, and timeless style. Our bridal robes, including the Luna, Helena, and Sian, are designed with the finest fabrics, from eco-certified satins to delicately embroidered lace. These are bridal essentials that feel as good as they look and photograph like a dream.

In Ellie and Daniëlle’s case, their wedding captured the world’s attention, but it was their private moments that truly mattered. And for that, they trusted Homebodii.

Congratulations to Ellie and Daniëlle on their beautiful union. Thank you for letting Homebodii be part of your love story, your wedding morning, and the memories that will last a lifetime.

We knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together when…

When we went on our first unofficial first date and just knew that this was it for us both

Our approach to planning the wedding was

We wanted it in between elegant and relaxed, with every detail chosen with love. We focused on how it would feel rather than being too traditional. The goal was for it to be full of meaning!

The most unexpected part of the day was

How emotional I felt walking down the aisle. I’m used to high-pressure moments, but nothing prepares you for seeing your person standing there, full of love, waiting for you. I’ll never forget that feeling.

When I look back on the day now I feel...

Grateful. Overwhelmed by love. Proud of what we created. And so excited that this was just the beginning.
