The thing I love about Matt Rowe Photography is that no matter how many weddings we see come out of any popular Sunshine Coast wedding venue, he always finds a unique angle. Believe me, we cannot say the same of every wedding photographer, and that gift is invaluable. Anjela and Brad were so taken with Matt’s talents, they commissioned him to capture their big day at Novotel Twin Waters Resort. The venue was chosen with the idea of having a destination wedding weekend away, so all their family and friends could spend some time together, getting to know one another. They particularly…

There is a special kind of joy in seeing pretty little flowergirls at a wedding. Mostly because you can see the unbridled joy in their faces at being part of the occasion, being pampered and all dressed up in their finest attire. They look up at the bride and know they have never seen anyone more beautiful, and hope one day they will look as beautiful on their own wedding day. Then they look down and see their own fun and fancy frock, and can’t believe they actually own something so beautiful. They can’t believe they can actually feel this…

There’s a lot to do when planning your wedding, of course. But let’s face it. We just love a good check list for poring over at any given opportunity. Smugly reading out the things we’ve successfully completed to anyone who will listen, and making a meal of checking them each off with our favourite pen with a flourish. Then there is the joy to be had in reading out all the things we have left to complete. It ilicits much empathy/admiration, and is a thoroughly satisfactory time pursuit. Yes, we know you too well, lovely Sunshine Coast brides! So we…

On your wedding night, you want to feel sexy in your own way. Wedding night lingerie is not all corsets and garters. You can wear a sweet, simple cotton bra and briefs set or a cute pair of pjs. There’s no rules, ladies. Heck, bust out a romper if the fancy takes you. I’ll have you know, rompers are extremely sexy. You know what else is sexy? Environmentally friendly garments, yo! Madonna Bain Eco Intimates are crafted from super soft eco-friendly textiles and speak to the fuss-free bride who knows sexy can be understated and organic. Loving on these beautiful…

There are many customs and traditions you can include in your wedding ceremony, which can be really beautiful. The one we are sharing today may at first seem a little old fashioned in its principles, but we are fans of tradition here at The Bride’s Tree, it’s romantic and, in this case, a little bit chivalrous. This tradition is a little fuzzy, but it’s one we like. During a religious wedding ceremony, the groom will present a pouch or ornate box with 13 coins inside. The priest or other religious ordained officiant will bless the coins before then allowing the…
