Fitness influencer Kayla Itsines has been making waves for her cool and casual wedding – with both the bride and groom sporting white sneakers during their big day – but another detail has captured the audience’s attention.
The recent bride – who wed her longtime boyfriend Jae Woodroffe on Sunday – has revealed that her wedding dress, jewellery, and even the rings were all sponsored by brands.
The 32-year-old took to Instagram to thank the brands that helped her on her big day – Mariana Hardwick for her dresses and Cassandra Mamone for her jewellery and rings.

Itsines wore a custom designed minimalist slip dress for her ceremony, with a short cape attached to the back of it. She wore a white beaded crop-top and skirt set with a thigh-high split as her reception gown, also designed by the bridal emporium.
She recalled she “visited [three to four] different wedding dress shops and really didn’t feel comfortable in anything. It all felt ‘too much’ and I just wanted something SIMPLE, comfortable and easy. If you know me, you KNOW I pretty much wear sports clothes 99.9% of the year.
She then says the local bridal gown designer reached out to her to offer to design something for her. Itsine’s brief was “simple, comfortable and easy to wear” and according to her, “they absolutely NAILED it…THANK YOU for being so EASY to work with and making someone who never wears dresses, feel so beautiful on her wedding day!”

She also took the time to thank the jewellery brand, which gifted both her and her husband their wedding rings as well as the rest of her jewellery, including a back chain with the letter “W” attached to it, for her new surname.
The AFR Rich Lister, who is said to be worth around $165 million, built her fortune from selling a fitness program, the Bikini Body Guide which later became health and fitness app, SWEAT, which twas sold to iFIT, a US fitness tech company, for $400 million back in 2021.
She did so with her then-romantic and business partner Tobi Pearce, with whom she broke her engagement with three years ago. They share daughter Arna, who was born in April 2019.
She began dating Woodroffe a year later in 2021 and they have since welcomed their son Jax in January 2023.
