We are continuing on with our Hair Design of the Week series, and today we are bringing you something a little different.

Photo of the Week

5th October 2012

You may notice today's photo of the week was taken of a Brisbane bride, overlooking Brisbane City. Isn't it just gorgeous! However, it was taken by an amazing Sunshine Coast wedding photographer – none other than our own Ritchie Duce of Level Eleven Photography!  Imagine this photo taken on the balcony at your wedding night accommodation at Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Coolum, Sunshine Beach or Noosa, overlooking the town or beach… That would be so cool!

Personalised Wedding Shoes

4th October 2012

I would walk a mile in anyone's shoes that looked like some of these little beauties. These are hands down my new fave thing for Sunshine Coast weddings. What a beautiful commemoration of your wedding day! Not only are the designs of all of these shoes incredibly beautiful, I just love the special content – the first date memories, the coordinates of where the wedding will occur, or, like this first pair, a likeness of the iconic wedding venue for one Sunshine Coast bride, who was fortunate enough to enjoy a beautiful wedding day at award-winning hinterland wedding venue.

Modern Glamour Styled Reception

3rd October 2012

In our most recent edition of The Bride's Tree free online bridal magazine, we featured an incredible styled shoot, which was all about modern glamour. Think lots of white, symmetry, pretty glassware and pink detailing. There was crystal, bling, and candles, and the very on-trend ghost chairs, which we love and adore oh so much.  The reception was set up amidst the luscious greenery of Beedazzled Fantasia, and of course decorated to perfection by Sunshine Coast wedding planners and decorators, Beedazzled Events, with super pretty floral arrangements by Sunshine Coast wedding florist, I-blossom, and amazing designer stationery by Sunshine Coast…

Ooh, pretty! Today's hair design of the week is actually not one, but FOUR beautiful hair styles by wonderful Sunshine Coast hair stylist, Taryn Smith Hair & Makeup.

Lake Weyba Australian Bush Wedding

26th September 2012

Their union took a bit of encouragement from friends over the course of several double dates, but Lauren finally couldn't resist Don's infectious laugh that fills a room with warmth. Meanwhile, Don had fallen head over heels for Lauren's wit and bubbly personality. Love unfolded and the rest, as they say, is history!  Lauren and Don were married in a Lake Weyba ceremony, and followed it up with a cocktail-style catered reception at Eumarella Shores. The Australian bush setting on the Noosa waterfront of Lake Weyba really needed no jazzing up, so the couple decided to keep things simple and…

My Wedding DJ App

25th September 2012

If you have a mate lined up to press play, pause, next for your wedding ceremony songs, you might like to come up with as fool proof a process as you can. The last thing you want at a crucial moment is to have the song cut out, the next song to start too soon, or worse… What if he accidentally skips to the party songs meant for later on in the night, and where "The Only Exception" should be for evoking emotion, you get "Baby Got Back." Not quite so tear-jerking, of course. I've got news for you, my…
