Just in case you missed it…  You came with us through The Looking Glass to a unique wedding ceremony.  An Egyptian bridal inspiration shoot kept us guessing.  We shared our final instalment of our Christmas wedding at The Lakehouse.  A wedding trend we are really on board with in a real westival (wedding-meets-festival)!  I narrowed it down to my top 5 fave weddings of the year.    Save the Date Weddings at Tiffany's Open House – January 10-11 The perfect opportunity to inspect this wedding venue located in the majestic surrounds of Maleny Queensland.    Sunshine Coast Wedding Showcase – January 18…

We are almost at the close of another wonderful year of wedding-oggling bliss. I have been looking back on the year and reminiscing with all of my favourite weddings of 2014. Here are just five I still love and adore with all my little heart.  Above is Anna and Ben's Witta wedding in the cutest chapel ever. Amazing images by Alan Hughes Photography.  Ema and Shaun's Flaxton Gardens wedding took out the prize for the wedding with the happiest bride alive.

Trent and Melitta initially bonded over play dough creations and sand pit adventures. They first met at their pre-school, where they both grew up, on Bribie Island, however it was quite a number of years later and a day at the races that saw them come together.  After six blissful years together, Trent proposed, and what followed was a “westival” at Maleny Retreat. “A westival?”, you ask. Indeed, a wedding-meets-festival that has the key elements of a relaxed atmosphere, live music, great food, oodles of space and every friend and every family member that could be gathered to celebrate. Maleny Retreat is…

Today, the final instalment of our very special Christmas wedding styled shoot. Shot locally at The Lakehouse Sunshine Coast, this gathering of tremendous talent in the wedding industry resulted in something truly special.  Images by Lindy Photography. Our beautiful bridal model wore a sensational dress from local couture designer, Erin Clare. Veil and jewellery also by Erin Clare Couture.  The Lakehouse entry way is warm and welcoming with comfy chairs, cowhide rug, fireplace and lots of interesting nautical bits and pieces. I love this part of The Lakehouse, being a person who loves a little secret spot to get away from the crowd, this…

Well this is more than a little exciting. We have never seen anything like this inspirational styled bridal shoot, it is so very unique. A bunch of uber talented Sunshine Coast wedding professionals got together to create an Egyptian-inspired bridal shoot!  From the dress to the accessories and makeup by the talented Tasleema Nigh, it’s a glamourous Cleopatra-esque look we are loving like crazy. The bouquet by Ginger Lily & Rose Floral Studio screams opulence, as you would expect of an Egyptian goddess, with an oversized statement bloom and peacock feathers. Please feel free to drool over these images by Bonnie Jenkins, as we…

Come with us on a journey as we go through the looking glass… This ceremony styling is like something from  a fairytale, and in the incredible hinterland setting of wedding venue, Flaxton Gardens, it is a sight to behold. Peering through the looking glass doors to the outrageously stunning view of the Sunshine Coast hinterland beyond… hola perfection.  Autumn colours have been used throughout the styling by talented sister duo, Style le Aisle, and followed through in the florals. We love this ceremony styling for a Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding in autumn.  So go on, take a little adventure through…

Just in case you missed it…  We started the week with a bride and groom and a gorgeous horse.  Then we revealed more of our Christmas-themed wedding shoot, this time focusing on the yummy part – the food!  We helped you answer the question, "Do I need a wedding planner?"  It was time for a crafternoon, so we got our wedding DIY on.  We ended the week with a bride and groom and a gorgeous horse.    Save the Date Weddings at Tiffany's Open House – January 10-11 The perfect opportunity to inspect this wedding venue located in the majestic surrounds…

Cecile and Trent may just be the cutest couple we’ve seen. It definitely takes a very strong couple to work together and live together, as these two events planners do.  Trent proposed to Cecile in 2013 just as they both completed the Kokoda Trail. They wed in a beautiful ceremony at Flaxton Gardens, following it up with some sensational location shots around the hinterland in Flaxton and Maleny. They then head back to Flaxton Gardens to rejoin their 105 guests for a relaxed reception. Jennifer Oliphant was there to capture every moment of their special day.  “I wanted a Tiffany…

If you’re anything like me, you buy all these fancy decorations and then don’t really know exactly what to do with them placement-wise to make them look as spectacular as you would like. This idea from the clever folk at Oh Happy Day! is brilliant! I love how putting all of these honeycomb decorations bunched up together in one impressive garland creates a fabulous statement.  It frames the food table perfectly, and would also work for a sweets table adornment, behind the bridal party table, or as a photo booth backdrop. You could select colours that tie in with your…
