Sunshine Coast wedding planning just got a whole lot easier. Another "In Your Neighbourhood" assignment saw us visiting the lovely Buderim. Cute stores, vintage finds and fun and eco-friendly ideas for wedding decorations and DIY jewellery opportunities ensued. Plus, of course there's no passing up the great views with enormous potential for wedding ceremony locations and awesome reception venues.
No matter where you're holding your Sunshine Coast wedding, a visit to Buderim is worth the drive, even if it's not exactly in your neighbourhood. We hunted down some great bargains and had a lot of fun doing so! The other great thing about Buderim is there are cute coffee shops, bakeries and health food stores around every corner, so your little wedding shopping trip with your groom or your gal pals is also likely to be littered with breaks for yummy treats. Just the cherry on top, really.
Details below images. Be sure to let us know in the comments if you would like us to go on the hunt for great wedding finds in your local Sunshine Coast neighbourhood, or if you already know where to find the good stuff and have a great suggestion for an area with brilliant finds for us, we'd love to hear of it!
