Summary
Complete wedding costume worn by actor Ben Turland as Hendrix Greyson in the Australian television series Neighbours in 2022.
Worn during his onscreen wedding to Mackenzie Hargreavea (Georgie Stone), which is significant as the first representation of a transgender character marrying on an Australian fictional program. The wedding was filmed in the Japanese Garden at Melbourne Zoo, with post wedding photographs inside the Butterfly House.
As is the practice of the Neighbours wardrobe department, the majority of the pieces were sourced locally, representing the popular wedding styles and labels of Melbourne grooms in the early 2020s.
