We have a confession to make. The Bride's Tree team are simply batty for beautiful fresh flowers. Whenever we find ourselves meeting with a Sunshine Coast florist or holding a bouquet at a styled shoot for our online bridal magazine, it's quite difficult to tear our noses away from the gorgeous floral designs! There are also good periods of time that pass while we oggle online at all of the stunning arrangements these talented people called florists create for many a Sunshine Coast wedding. Some we have past time with lately are by newcomers to the Sunshine Coast, Ginger Lily…

We adore this gorgeous couple!

  Traditionally, the bride arrives at her wedding in style. A horse-drawn cart is super romantic, a limousine a modern traditional option, while some like to make a big splash with a beautiful classic car or even a boat or helicopter! WHERE TO START If you’re not your typical rev head or grease monkey, you may have no strong feelings about your mode of transportation on your wedding day. This might be when you call on your groom-to-be to make the hard decisions. However, all brides want to be comfortable, so make sure you have some input, too. Depending on…

In the lead up to your Sunshine Coast wedding day, you’re probably contemplating a lot of the out-of-the-usual-comfort-zone scenarios you are going to find yourself and your partner in. Speeches, publicly declaring your love, having your photo taken a gazillion times and of course… The Bridal Waltz or First Dance. All eyes will be on just you two. Oohing and ahhing as you gracefully glide out onto the dancefloor, and your new husband swiftly and expertly pulls you to him and with a flourish of hand and leads you in a perfectly practiced dance your cinematographer will later edit into…

Having the right song to punctuate this moment in time is essential. Of course you could go with Butterfly Kisses… But of course, as sweet as that song is, you're not really that kind of girl, and he's not really that kind of dad. You need something that's more "you"  and reflects your one-of-a-kind relationship you share with your daddy. Never fear, Sunshine Coast wedding singer,…

Alyssa and James have an all too familiar love story, laced with fate. They were highschool sweethearts, who dated for a year. When James moved to Brisbane to study, the pair remained good friends. Years later, after they had both finished their studies, they reunited and have been inseparable ever since. They had a 14-month engagement, a good amount of time to plan their beautiful Sunshine Coast wedding. Alyssa says once she booked her wedding venue, Novotel Twin Waters Resort, and locked in the date of their Sunshine Coast wedding, everything else flowed from there. The lilac and bling theme…
