We learnt a little something new this week from Sunshine Coast wedding industry veterans from Maleny Manor. Apparently, some brides forego the traditional bouquet toss for all the single ladies to scramble for in favour of another custom. They give their bouquet to the longest married couple in the room, and then ask said couple to share their best advice with the newlyweds! What a fabulous idea! If we didn't follow Maleny Manor on Facebook, we may not have been so fortunate to learn this!  So, what else is new? We're glad you have asked. From now on, each Sunday…

Aw… we just love this beautiful moment between this gorgeous newly married couple! Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Mark Raynor of Tailored Photography, is responsible for this absolutely lovely image. It’s a wonderful wedding photographer, who can make his subjects feel so completely comfortable, that they will let their guard down and enjoy their own little moment like this. Love!  Happy Saturday, beautiful Sunshine Coast brides and grooms! 

The very lovely Mel from Chocolate 2 Chilli creates wedding cakes on the Sunshine Coast that are something a little bit special. She thinks outside the box and loves nothing better than coming up with new cake concepts.  Take a few minutes to check out Chocolate 2 Chilli’s gallery, so you can see for yourself just how amazing Mel is! And you know what’s even more awesome? These are but a drop in the ocean of the wedding cake brilliance she is capable of. Enjoy and happy Friday, lovely Sunshine Coast brides!   

  When planning your Sunshine Coast wedding,  you will of course check out many ceremony venues and locations. It’s a toughie – indoors or outdoors? Beach or hinterland? Will you fit all your guests in the one spot? Will it be private enough? Can I get a permit to hold my wedding ceremony in my perfect spot?  Well you are in luck, beautiful brides-to-be, because The Bride’s Tree team have been scouring the Sunshine Coast for all of the best outdoor ceremony spots around. We have surveyed the areas, taken photos from all angles and found out where and how…

Wayne Wiltshire is not just a wedding singer. Oh no, he’s a wedding crooner of the most suave variety! He looks like Daryl Braithwaite and sounds like Michael Buble – what a winning combination!  This versatile entertainer does a solo act for the more mellow occasion and also plays in his Wow Session Band, which is a really high energy musical entertainment crowd-pleasing experience, that adds something extra fun to your Sunshine Coast wedding. We actually really love his Jazz Duo, because it gives you the best of both worlds – the ambient dinner music with crooning galore, and then…

In any profession, you are only as good as the risks you take and the new things you try. Without a little bit of fear of what you’re doing, you can’t move forward. And so it was with the slightest bit of trepidation Shawn from Sabra Creative Photography took a swing at creating a stop motion clip for one of her fabulous bridal couples as their engagement shoot.  Stop motion is where you take a stack of photographs of one event and stitch them together to create a film-like presentation. Never having done this before, Shawn picked a couple of good-looking…

Callan proposed to Sarah at the beach. They spend a good deal of their time at the beach, and so of course they wanted their wedding to take place at the beach, reflecting their lives together.  The ultimate beach wedding destination is of course Queensland’s famous Noosa, so Sarah and Callan chose a wedding venue right in the heart of Noosa, being Outrigger Little Hastings Street. They were married by the pool, and barely escaped getting wet as if they jumped right in! A storm was brewing as they Sarah walked down the aisle, and crept closer as they said…

What a visual delight this week has been, with a real wedding absolutely everyone was talking about – especially that dress – and many more outrageously stunning Sunshine Coast wedding inspiration.  We also announced the winner of our caption competition to win a $5000 big day out with your besties. See what the winning caption was here.  And on the blog…  We kicked off the week with the prettiest of Maleny weddings. Then shared our Q&A with an awesome Sunshine Coast wedding DJ. Some industry friends of ours uncovered the meanings of different types of flowers you may choose for your wedding day floral…

An Australian bush wedding… how divine! There is something truly magical about eucalyptus trees at twilight. They tend to conjure up images of Australian bush fairies laying in wait to start frolicking and dancing the moment the sun goes down.  This bride certainly appears to be quite like the queen of the bush fairies. So very beautiful! Today’s photo of the week appeals to the little Aussie girls in us, and we simply adore the beauty of the photograph by Nicky Stone – Photographer at a Noosa North Shore Wedding.  Happy Saturday, lovely Sunshine Coast brides! 

Oh to relax on a sprawling deck, overlooking the ocean as the sun sets on your magical Coolum Beach wedding day. How simply splendid this would be! If it’s absolute waterfront you’re hankering for, well this is the perfect Sunshine Coast wedding venue for you. Coolum Beach Surf Club is set right in the middle of one of the most beautiful spots on the Sunshine Coast. And that is saying a lot, since we are hit smack bang in our faces with natural beauty every which way we turn in our beautiful-one-day-perfect-the-next piece of the globe.  The function room at the…
