Darling Little Details

25th July 2012

  Sunshine Coast brides! We have a date for you to pen into your diary. Notice we said pen, not pencil, because there will be no erasing of this little beauty, that's for dang sure. The date is September 8, and the event is… wait for it…. the Sunshine Coast's first vintage events fair! Ahhhhh! (That was our angels noise, hallejulah-style.) We are SO excited about this event. We are going to be there… But you may not find us at our stall, because we just might be too busy nipping around to everybody else's displays to check out all…

Country Charm with Fruit Wedding Styling

23rd July 2012

There is a whole lot of creative pretty in this charming country wedding. Who knew a tower of green apples could make such an impressive centrepiece! Keirra and Chris said their vows under a pretty chandelier and lantern-adorned tree on Keirra's family's private property in Traverston, which is located in the Noosa hinterland. Parasols, fruit punch and chalk boards are all present in the styling of this Noosa hinterland wedding, and it's thanks to the genius of Sunshine Coast wedding decorators, Beedazzled Events, who never cease to amaze us with their inspired creativity. We love this vintage country charm using…

16th July 2012

Michel Chalets is one of those places we have happened upon in our travels as explorers of all things “wedding” on the Sunshine Coast, where we find ourselves saying, “Wow, we are so amazed this even exists here!” It’s a discovery we have genuinely delighted in, as it has everything you could hope to find in a wedding venue. Firstly, it’s located up in the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland, which is a truly romantic place to be married.
