Alyssa and James have an all too familiar love story, laced with fate. They were highschool sweethearts, who dated for a year. When James moved to Brisbane to study, the pair remained good friends. Years later, after they had both finished their studies, they reunited and have been inseparable ever since. They had a 14-month engagement, a good amount of time to plan their beautiful Sunshine Coast wedding. Alyssa says once she booked her wedding venue, Novotel Twin Waters Resort, and locked in the date of their Sunshine Coast wedding, everything else flowed from there. The lilac and bling theme was based around the very pretty…

Depending on the length of your engagement and the size, and therefore planning involved in organising your wedding, the notice you give your guests will vary. There are several things to take into consideration. Firstly, give yourselves a realistic planning timeframe. Secondly, consider your guests – will they have to travel to attend your wedding? If so, you will need to allow them time to save the money to come, and make arrangements for time off work, accommodation and travel arrangements. Working on a twelve-month engagement period, which is the norm these days, the following is a basic guideline. ////…

Prepare to be dazzled, my friends. Set at the stunning Yandina Station, Rel and Jake’s wedding story weaves around a motif of strength, solidity, depth and beauty summed up in the branches of the big old fig tree, which is the centrepiece of the Station. And a touching reading during the ceremony of an extract from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin brought these two together beautifully.  Rel + Jake // Cinematic Highlights from Innovate Media on Vimeo.

The three-tiered white wedding cake is always a crowd pleaser. It’s traditional and it’s truly bridal. Who knew there were so many options when it comes to a three-tiered white cake? Skye from Sunny Girl Cakes, that’s who. Today we have just a taste*, a nibble*, if you will, of a few of her recent creations.  For Rani and Alec’s beach wedding they prettied up a classic white sugar paste iced three-tier cake with colourful fresh flowers and included the unique and rustic touch of twine. The filling was Skye’s famous rich chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache. Photo by Emma Nayler…
