If you want to see a wedding with details, boy have I got a treat for you! The gorgeous wedding of Sam and Rick was nothing if not carefully planned down to the last tea light candle. When planning their wedding, Sam and Rick thought back to the night they met at the Ivy Bar in Sydney. This chance meeting resulting in their union as husband and wife deserved to be paid homage, plus it was just a really cool theme idea, so the pair recreated their own Ivy Bar right here on the Sunshine Coast! Their 100 guests gathered…

On the weekend, we were very excited to hold our very first The Bride's Tree wedding expo stall! We went to the It's My Wedding expo at Maroochy RSL and met with hundreds of Sunshine Coast brides, bridesmaids, sisters and mothers of the brides… and even several grooms! It was a brilliant day for all with fashion shows and all sorts. We can't wait for the next It's My Wedding expo in August, in fact. When we decided to be involved in the expo, we knew we had to have an amazingly beautiful stand with unique styling, and nothing less…

If there's one day of your life when you want to have nothing less than absolutely fabulous hair, it's your wedding day. This is not the time to scrimp on your wedding budgets, beautiful brides. Oh no, indeed, do not perch yourself precariously in the hands of your well-meaning cousin-in-law's sister's friend, who has a ghd flat iron and a box of bobby pins. This is the one day you splash out and get a professional in.  One such professional you may like to consider is Hair by Nicola. This lady has got it going on in the hair department,…

Our fave elements are the vintage bluebird tablecloth and the amazing flower…
