In a low key beach wedding as relaxed as they are, Katreena and Shannon were married with 90 of their closest family and friends bearing witness and having a fabulous time while they were at it. Starting their day at Point Cartwright in a wedding ceremony on the beach including a water sharing ceremony, which symbolises the linking of lives with each other and the changing of tides and ocean.  Their wedding day included a frantic search for some missing rings they are still unsure whether or not should be blamed on the groom or the best man, but to…

I’m going to get a little bit smug here, I’m sorry, but it’s entirely called for. Because it is now widely known that The Bride’s Tree is the bearer of the prettiest expo stand in all the land. And this is where my smugness ends, because while I would love to take credit for it, the concepting and styling genius belongs entirely to Hayley Shum from Wholehearted Studio.  This time last year we launched our first ever expo stand at the It’s My Wedding expo, and exactly one year later, we have had a complete redesign by the same clever lass,…

Look at this happy bride!

Chantel and Rob were married at what I consider to be one of the most perfect Sunshine Coast ceremony locations. AnnaBella The Wedding Chapel is but 10 minutes from local beaches and is a purpose-built wedding chapel set on a super pretty, perfectly-maintained secluded property on a quiet country road in Ilkley.  The AnnaBella Chapel is also decorated by owner, Judy, in the most tasteful and thoughtful manner with antique wooden pews, antique Chinese altar and light streaming that creates warmth befitting to a day spent joining families and celebrating love.  Take a peek at Chantel and Rob’s perfect day…

In our recently released Volume 5 of The Bride’s Tree online magazine, we shared the wedding of Nadia and Andy in Noosa. The styling was to die for. So it must come as no surprise that the stylists responsible for such fatally gorgeousness is none other than Sunshine Coast wedding decorating, planning and styling agency, Lovebird Weddings.  It was so hard to choose from all of the amazing shots taken of this wedding by Feather & Stone Photography to include in our free online magazine layout, so we created a Gallery of all of the leftover images for your viewing pleasure!…
