Kawana Beach Backyard Wedding

1st December 2011

  Andrea and Trent dreamt of a private, secluded backyard wedding… And also a beach wedding, and the one thing they were sure of was that they wanted their ceremony and reception in the one place. Their solution? Rent a house on Kawana Beach with a big backyard for their Sunshine Coast wedding on October 16, 2010.  They say their venue was perfect for the relaxed and unique wedding day they desired, and allowed complete seclusion, as the backyard not only had a gorgeous bunch of trees, giving the ceremony site a bush feel, but said trees lead out to…

It doesn’t get much better than that… or so I thought! After 27 hours of travelling across three different time zones, 10 cups of hot chocolate, a minor delay and the odd…

Casual, Elegant Woombye Wedding

  Their stunning wedding was feminine and elegant, with a laid-back feel. The styling featured pretty pale dusty rose colours for the floral arrangements and the ladies, while the fellas went with the classic black suit and tie with crisp white shirts. Timeless. Jasmine says it was most important to the couple to involve as many family and friends as possible, while keeping to their budget, but of course to have a really nice bridal gown. The solution – shop at a bridal outlet store, and have a split reception, where 75 close family members first congregated for a sit-down…
