I think it’s pretty clear from the adorable picture above that Tamara and Tim had a picture-perfect Sunshine Coast wedding day. By the bride’s own admission, the worst thing that happened was a coffee plunger broke the day before the big day – I’d call that a success worthy of unbridled flower girl admiration, wouldn’t you?
Tamara says her biggest priority when planning her wedding to now-husband, Tim, was to have a beautiful and relaxed day that was affordable. Her bridesmaid discovered Sunshine Coast chapel, AnnaBella the Wedding Chapel, which she described as irresistible, and so their ceremony planning began to take shape.
Following the chapel wedding ceremony, the couple and their 80 guests travelled a short distance to Buderim Tavern, where their reception had been decked out with delicate greenery and white flowers, and macrame details.
Lara and Susie Photography were there to to capture every memorable moment of Tim and Tam’s Buderim and Sunshine Coast chapel wedding.
“We tried to include as many of our friends and family in the planning process as possible. Much of our family were overseas or interstate so this was often via email. I had to FaceTime my mum in New Zealand when I was trying dresses on to get her vote!”
“After hearing a few wedding horror stories I expected to have one or two to tell myself. However our day went off without a hitch. The worse was a broken coffee plunger the day before! I count ourselves pretty lucky.”
“The main thing that makes us work together as a couple I would say would be shared morals and values. We have great respect for each other and we laugh!”
“When we started planning, we didn’t really have any set ideas. My bridesmaid discovered Annabella Chapel which I couldn’t resist. I used Pinterest as inspiration for the reception.”
“Tim and I met at a spin class at Suncoast Fitness Maroochydore. We got engaged after six months dating. Very early on in our relationship we knew each other was ‘the one’ and couldn’t wait to get married.”
“We had a spectacular winters day to impress the kiwi guests. The chapel and tavern were still wonderful when we visited them when the weather wasn’t too wonderful a few weekends prior.”

“The very best thing about our wedding day was marrying my soul mate of course. Doesn’t get much better than that. We didn’t really do the gift thing. I put together a slide show with photos from all our special moments for Tim. We show each other we care about each other everyday. The material stuff doesn’t matter as much. “
“We felt really relaxed on the day. Our day exceeded our expectations. We were humbled by family and friends who had travelled to celebrate with us. I felt so lucky to be surrounded by so much love.”
“We really wanted to create a super relaxed wedding vibe. We also wanted to avoid debt from wedding costs. We saved what we needed and stuck to what we could afford.”

“We put together our own little gifts bags for guests. We stamped hearts on the front of brown paper bags which contained a thank you note, an individually wrapped TimTam and a Berocca for the next morning.”
