Just in case you missed it…

22nd March 2013

There was some fabulous fashion on the blog this week, with two real weddings – each from opposite ends of the Sunshine Coast – which had amazing dresses on the brides and bridesmaids, gorgeous accessories and the most fabulous shoes! We didn’t miss the men out this week, either, as we shared some great tips especially for grooms.  Kicking off the week on the right foot, we shared 10 reasons you can’t afford not to hire a wedding planner.  This lovebird-themed wedding had the perfect touches of duck egg blue – one of our fave colours for wedding styling!  Did…

Photo of the Week

Katrina and Brenton were married at the Maroochy Botanical Gardens, a gorgeous spot for a Sunshine Coast wedding on one of our amazingly beautiful days. What a great choice of ceremony location, and a fantastic choice of wedding photographer in Andrea Sproxton Photography.  Andrea has a great personality and sense of humour, so it’s no wonder these groomsmen are enjoying leading the groom astray in a bit of harmless posing shenanigans! Way to calm the nerves before the bride arrives! We love this hilarious Photo of the Week. We hope you do, too, lovely Sunshine Coast brides! Happy Weekend to…

One for the grooms… Fit your suit perfectly

20th March 2013

How many weddings have you been to where the groom and groomsmen let down the team by turning up in ill-fitting suits they have (bless them) made a noble attempt at choosing all on their own. Sending your groom and his groomsmen off to a department store to pick out suits, without so much as a measuring tape,  has disaster written all over it. So in the spirit of cleaning up the act of every last well-intending, yet clueless, Sunshine Coast groom, we have asked seasoned professional, Tammy Fox of Suits Direct to give us the skinny (and not so skinny…) on what…
