  Guest blog post by Carrie and Emily from A Darling Affair. Each month the ladies will showcase specialties from their “Darling” vendors. This months theme is: bridesmaids Sometimes the giving of things or the finer details or effort means a lot more than when someone actually speaks the words “I love you”. We like people to have an “experience” when people come to our fairs. Making it personal helps others to see how much you care for them. Some people are better are creating things or giving things than expressing their verbal feelings. A gift from the heart. Asking your besties to…

Claire and Tyson were married at Cooroy Anglican Church by Pastor Josh Usher after an18-month engagement, preceding an 18-month romance. They knew early on they had the same spiritual values as they started their courtship on a solid foundation of friendship. Obviously a winning formula for a beautiful marriage!  They followed their church wedding with a reception for 100 guests at a private estate in Noosa with absolutely incredible views. The venue is beautiful, but a real blank canvas, that was transformed beautifully using lovely vintage styling with tea and the best sweets table we’ve seen!  The happy couple’s Cooroy/Noosa wedding…
