"Any kind of recognition is kind of beautiful and I think a competition on this kind of scale, something outside the regional areas, it's something really special," she said.
Ivory Rose was opened back in April 2016, when she had one eight-week-old child.
Since then, the business has boomed.
"Three babies on and four and a half years on, we've moved the business to home. At this stage though, business is still booming," she said.
"On average, we do about 150 weddings a year when COVID is not around.
"There's seven staff between paid employees and volunteers. Out of those seven, five have some form of disability and that's a big part of our business, to be able to create a business to provide those with equal opportunities that maybe wouldn't have been able to get that elsewhere."
One of her employees, Tanya-Lee Holmes, has also been nominated for the AusMumpreneur Awards.
"It's really beautiful to see she's been recognised for her work too, as well as everyone else else," she said.
