Why one detail in this single image from Narelda Jacobs’ wedding has an incredibly special meaning for Channel Ten star
Channel 10 presenter Narelda Jacobs paid tribute to her Indigenous heritage on Saturday when she romantically married Karina Natt.
The 48-year-old shared a short video on Instagram showing a beautiful floral arch being built during the ceremony.
The arch, designed by Indigenous designer Teagan Murdock of Ngumpie Weaving, provided the centrepiece beneath which Narelda and Karina stood to exchange their vows.
The artwork featured native flowers and emu feathers, a bird considered a totem animal by some Aboriginal groups.
The emu symbolizes a sacred connection between man and nature and resilience, strength and survival.
Narelda shared a video of the stunning arch on Instagram: ‘Teagan, our event manager and creator of the wedding atmosphere!’
‘Thank you for creating our beautiful wedding arch, bouquets and table flowers using native plants and emu feathers.’
Designer Teagan also shared the post, writing: ‘What an honour it was to create this beautiful floral arch for @narelda_jacobs and @karinaalyce.’

In the photos she shared on Instagram, she looked like she was having a great time, surrounded by friends, family and celebrity guests.
Narelda and her new wife both opted for white outfits, with the TV star choosing a fitted dress with fur accents from Australian luxury brand Zhivago.
The dress hugged her figure and then flared out into a romantic train. The fur details on the shoulders gave the whole thing a glamorous look.
She wore a pair of earrings and opted for a radiant makeup look with a plum-colored lipstick.
Karina, meanwhile, also wore a Zhivago dress, which also fitted tightly to her body and featured highly fashionable raised shoulders.
Celebrity guests included MasterChef Australia star Melissa Leong and celebrity chef Kylie Kwong.
Also in attendance were comedian Luke McGregor and his wife Dr. Amy Thunig-McGregor.
