They had to keep their nuptials a secret for months after filming for The Block: Glasshouse wrapped.

And now, Karstan Smith and Maxine Stokes are talking to Daily Mail Australia about 'what's next' after their made for TV wedding, which was shot at Riva restaurant in St.Kilda, Melbourne.

At 25, Maxine says babies are on the back-burner with the couple's focus instead being turned to a lifestyle, travel and design blog set to launch very soon.

'We’re really looking forward to starting a family, and it will be before we’re 30. But we’re not ready for kids just yet,' she said with a giggle.

'After The Block, Maxine is going to be extremely successful,' Karstan chimed in proudly. There’s a chance I can be a stay at home dad!'

The 27-year-old predicts that when he and Max launch their site The Discovery Tales, the blonde beauty will be run off her feet.

If successful, they plan to add a retail component.

'We’re just going to be blogging about what we’re passionate about and if we have a lot of interest we’re going to open an online shop,' Max revealed.

Back on the topic of babies, and the well-traveled duo say that they want to instill a sense of adventure in their children, What we’d really love to do is take the kids in a massive restored bus and go around Australia,' Karstan said.

He said prior to going on the hit renovation show, they had traveled the world together - from walking 900 kilometres from Spain to France before road-tripping round Australia in a 1971 Kombi van.

Their next trip however will be a well-deserved honeymoon after they tie the knot for a second time in December, for family and friends who couldn't make it to the first nuptials in Melbourne.

'We’d love to go to Mexico or something cool like that, the Newcastle-based pair said. 'We're all about adventure with some relaxation in there as well. And plus, we've never been!'

Surrounded by the cast of The Block, their tradesman and the show's hosts Scott Cam and Shelley Craft, Max and Karstan said the wedding was everything they'd ever dreamed of.

'It was literally the perfect wedding. Everything was us down to a T,' Max said.

'Our first dance was to Hey Ho (The Lumineers), and then it broke down into Jump (Kriss Kross).'

'Before we knew it the whole venue was bouncing,' Karstan added.

'And Max looked drop dead gorgeous. She looked absolutely amazing. The dress, the hair, everything. There were tears of happiness for sure.'

The Block's cast put their tools down the day before the final room reveal to celebrate the newlyweds, donning their best suits and frocks, with co-host Scott stepping in as wedding celebrant.

Max wore a stunning crochet and lace dress by Melbourne designer, Jane Hill on her special day which fans can get a sneak peek of on Monday night's episode.
