So you just got engaged, lovely Sunshine Coast bride, and you have been given the task of choosing your own engagement ring. Remembering this will be the one item of jewellery (along with your wedding band, of course), that you will wear for the rest of your life. It may not be quite as simple as wandering into your nearest Prouds and bunging one on your finger. There are so many things to consider – cut, stone, setting… but what do all these things even mean? Fortunately, we have a very handy little tool, direct from online bridal store, Simply…

Yesterday we told you who you should invite to your wedding. Today we’re showing you how you can invite your chosen guests to your wedding. These scrummy Tall Poppy invitations, place cards, menus and thank you cards come from Stand Tall Design’s new off-the-rack range. We love this sweet floral design, so simple and pretty, but the main thing we love about this stationery range is that it makes it so easy for you to have continuity throughout your Sunshine Coast wedding from start to finish. These beautiful photographs were shot by amazing Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Chesterton Smith Photography….

It is so easy to start what you believe to be a conservative list and find it adds up to 200 people. Collectively, you and your partner probably know a stack of people! And then there are your parents' friends, relatives that expect an invitation, assumptive co-workers… It can all get quite out of hand! Here are some handy tips to get your guest list under control: 1.    Sit down with your partner and make a list of everyone you can think of that may warrant an invitation. Ask your parents for their lists of must-haves, too. Especially if they are…

The bridal boudoir at Maleny Manor is really something special, which is why we desperately wanted to show off a side of the Manor you may not have seen before. From the vintage and antique furniture to the impressive stair case, it's the dream place to become The Bride on your wedding day morning. These photos are the first of the left overs from our magazine spread in the current edition of The Bride's Tree free online bridal magazine, Volume 2. Our stunning model, Francesca, was captured so beautifully by Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding photographers, Artography. Francesca wears Because The Night bridal lingerie by…

Today's chosen hair design is a gorgeous twist on a very popular, classic style by Sunshine Coast wedding hair stylist, Allure Hair and Beauty. The lovely bride, Sarah, wanted a simple, smooth and sleek bun to wear with a classic veil. We don't know how the lovely Karla from Allure achieved this design, which appears to us to be as intricately and deliberately placed as it is simple and classic. She's amazing!

The only thing as beautiful as a bride on her wedding day is her beautiful, happy baby boy! This little guy is just feeling so loved in this moment, isn't he! We love this photo by Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Jennifer McCue Photography. Aside from the Beauty and the Babe, we adore the textures of the wood bench and floors, the backdrop of the rustic mud brick wall, with that perfect pop of colour provided by the pretty lilac bridal bouquet.

  Today some words of wisdom from guest blogger, Fiona Roberts of Celebrate With Fiona. This lovely lady is one amazing Sunshine Coast wedding celebrant we simply adore! Take it away, Fiona!  So you thought it would be great to write your own vows, but now a substantial dose of writer’s block (not to mention an overriding fear of embarrassing yourself) has hit you squarely on the head.  Not sure how to transform your life-altering feelings into a paragraph of coherent words?  You’re not alone — but don’t worry, your goal is within reach.  Just take it one word at…

This weekend, you will have the opportunity to bend the ear of a brilliant Sunshine Coast wedding photographer we simply adore. Luke Going Photography will be exhibiting at A Darling Affair Wedding & Events Fair. It's going to be a fantastic day with lots of handmade and vintage-style inspiration, a fashion parade, beauty parlour and $1000s in prizes to be won. It's on from 10am at The Big Pineapple Plantation Room. So we figured, you might need some talking points to bring up with Luke when you pop in to visit him and see more of his amazing work. To that end, we…
