It's raining rose petals! Let's celebrate! This couple had a spot of rain at their Noosa Wedding, but as we all know, that's good luck, anyway. You know what else is good luck? Having the wonderful Lindy Photography as your Sunshine Coast wedding photographer! We love this image, it's just so fun. Lindy has captured the moment perfectly – the looks on the brides and groom's faces are priceless! What a beautiful day they had.

If you are looking for a way to spruce up your wedding day with a unique embellishment, why not try adding a belt? There are plenty of different ways to jump on this splendid wedding trend. Pretty beaded belts are always a winner, but you can think outside the box with black or coloured satin sashes, ribbons and even add a funky rustic brown leather buckled belt. You are only limited by your imagination, and we would love to see more Sunshine Coast brides embrace this particular trend. Crystal Sash Belt by Etsy store, GlamHouse Dress and pretty coloured fabric…

Kristen and Cameron Fox, who live on the north side of Brisbane, wanted to choose a place to be married that wasn’t too far for either their Brisbane-based family and friends, and also their Gympie-based family. A fair compromise and beautiful choice was to have a Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding. When choosing a venue, they wanted to have everything in one place, so their guests could enjoy the day without travelling between the ceremony and reception. And so they chose to hold their wedding in the gorgeous tropical rainforest gardens of Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding venue, The Beerwah Hideaway. When…

The best wedding albums include photos just like this beautiful one by Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding photographer, Artography. It is raw emotion. It is joy! The pure delight on the faces of this Sunshine Coast bride and her elderly relative in this exchange is just one moment in her special day, but I’m darn sure it’s one she is so incredibly thrilled is here to keep forever. Artography is a family run business, located in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and we were fortunate to work with one of their talented photographers on our Bridal Boudoir photo shoot. Their stunning photos at Maleny…
Eco styling is a burgeoning wedding trend we are lusting after in a big, bad lustful manner. Okay, that may be a little over the top, but we really, really like it a whole awful lot! It’s about nature, and taking the raw unique elements it has to offer and constructing them in a beautifully assembled tablescape. We love the colours Splash Events have used in this theme. They have allowed the colours, understated floral arrangements, succulents and impressive twig centrepiece to take centrestage by complimenting them with simple white dinnerware and clear wine glasses. A rustic feeling is brought…

If you are a Sunshine Coast bride holding strong to tradition with your wedding, then an element to include may be to have bagpipes played at your wedding ceremony. For centuries, bagpipes have been played to entertain wedding guests and to provide a sense of atmosphere in many countries the world over, not just Scotland! It is also said to be terribly good luck for the bride first to be greeted by a bagpipe player when arriving at her wedding ceremony. This ensures a long and successful marriage, according to legend. How lovely indeed! If you really wanted to get into…

There is nothing more romantic than a rose for your Sunshine Coast wedding. It is the symbol of love and romanticism. It's no wonder the flower is so frequently used is bridal bouquets. The rose is also a very versatile flower, and can bring that romance to your wedding flowers in many different ways. There are different kinds of roses – David Austin Roses, Grandiflora, Leonidas, Anouschka, Prima Donna to name a few… and don't even get me started on the hybrid roses (although I am particularly partial to a tulip rose.) You would also be surprised to learn how many…

Ooh, what a splendid idea – fabric wedding invitations! The very clever Michelle of Stand Tall Design has put together this amazing wedding stationery, all based around a piece of fabric she had in the back of her cupboard. Not at all a sewer, Michelle took to the machine like a fish to water (okay, she actually admits it was a bit trickier than this, but got there in the end!), and the end result is this stunning stationery range, including the matching bomboniere jam jar label and fabric lid cover. Cute! Michelle says she can create a stationery range…

Look at these awesome little dudes! If this pair don’t kick start you to have a super Saturday, I just don’t know what will. Seriously, just – look at them! This moment in time was captured by the brilliant Karen Buckle Photography, whose work we love and adore with all our little hearts. As a top Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Karen would be lucky enough to happen upon gorgeous little people like this all the time at weddings. Now, I know that many people like to have a child-free wedding, allow the parents to kick back and enjoy the party, and…
