Wedding Styling Trend: Signage

8th May 2012

It is a very popular wedding trend of the moment, not to mention thoughtful and practical. Signage at your wedding ceremony and reception will both help your guests to navigate their way about the joint and look drop dead cute and gorgeous, adding a sweet touch to your Sunshine Coast wedding styling. You can have all sorts of signage at your wedding. You can use a few rustic street-sign-style arrows in pine and white to direct your guests this way and that or provide your program on a sign, rather than print individual ones (save a tree!) You can display the…

City of Love Engagement Shoot

7th May 2012

Who remembers our cute-as-a-button Paris proposal pair, Rachael and Brent? We shared their story a few months ago, and since then they have been busily planning their wedding. This Sunshine Coast couple are living in Brisbane and recently had an engagement photo shoot with Focus Films Photography and Video. It is very on trend to include props in your engagement shoot, and of course this couple who connect on a very personal level with the City of Love, simply had to include a few subtle Parisian touches. We really love how they are stylishly, but simply, dressed, allowing their obvious…

Bouquet of the Week

5th May 2012

When you are choosing your bridal bouquet, you need to look at the choice from a few angles. The flowers you use of course, and whether or not they would be available at the time of year, and also the composition of your chosen flowers. The cascade bouquet gave way for the posy for awhile, but it's making a strong come back. Today's bouquet of the week is the creation of the clever Jill at iblossom. It's a beautiful cascading bouquet featuring White Cymbidium Orchids, Savita, Vendella and Caramello Roses with touches of Nandinus Berry and vine. We present it to you in…

The bride and groom themselves look…

The styling, fashion, flowers and beauty were possibly even better than we had originally imagined. As we predicted, we ended up completely spoiled for choice with the images. Shane Shepherd Photography really outdid himself with this one, and we just couldn't…

Pomona Catholic Church wedding

29th April 2012

Sophia and Tim have been madly in love for ten years, and consider themselves best friends. They were married in a sweet little catholic church – St. Patricks Catholic Church in Pomona – and held their prettily styled wedding reception for 105 guests at Sails Restaurant in Noosa. When planning their nuptials, Sophia had a bit of trouble narrowing down her many ideas into a styled theme that was both what she wanted and simplified enough to work. Her mother was the saviour there, helping to get things on track. The concept ended up being clean, crisp white with pops…
