As a wedding blogger and magazine editor, I have had the delightful opportunity to create countless wedding photo shoots to bring ideas and inspiration to couples planning their weddings here on the Sunshine Coast, – and really anywhere! The styling and concepts found here can also be recreated far and wide. 

This one, however, was super special. When people ask me what I would do for my own hypothetical wedding, I can hand-on-heart say it would be something quite like this. Romantic, dreamy, full of stunning flowers and flowing fabrics in a lavender colour palette with whispers of a wisteria feel. 

Today I’m giving you a mere a taste of what we have created with a stellar team of Sunshine Coast wedding professionals, because there is genuinely so much more to share from this incredible styled shoot. Take a scroll through my personal dream wedding – and watch this space, because there’s more to come… very soon!

Kate and James’ celebration was a modern dream by the water, filled with thoughtful details and just the right touch of grandeur. Kate made her entrance in a breathtaking cathedral-length tulle veil and flowing overskirt, while James looked every bit the leading man in a white tux from Black Jacket Suiting.

From their sweet Mooloolaba proposal—complete with surprise photographer—to the expertly styled ceremony by Splash Events and reception tablescape that kept the prettiest of colour palettes consistent throughout. The couple’s memories were captured in these images by Angela Brushe Photography, making this wedding one to remember.

Choosing Our Noosa Wedding Venue

We love the Sunshine Coast, and we love going to the beach so it made sense to us to have a coastal wedding. We came across Noosa Boathouse through instagram and then went to an open day and loved it straight away. The beautiful views overlooking Noosa River and the incredible menu options were a big drawcard.

Our Noosa Wedding Vendors

I can’t fault any of our suppliers, they were all incredible and reliable and brought our vision to life. Angela, our photographer, knows how to make you feel calm and relaxed in front of the camera. Will, our musician, is so incredibly talented and anyone having a wedding on the Sunshine Coast, who wants a great party, should book him. Bernadette, our celebrant, was a perfect fit for us and put together a ceremony that was exactly as we hoped. Bridie, our florist, is so talented and we were both blown away by the flowers- better than we had imagined. Hannah and Tara on hair and makeup work so well together as a team and created a fun morning for my bridesmaids and I, as well as making us feel like princesses and applying makeup and hair styles to last through all day and night

The One Thing We’d Change In Hindsight 

We had our guests on a river cruise to take them from the ceremony location to Noosa Boathouse. We didn’t go on the cruise as we were off getting photos, but everyone said it was so much fun! So if there was a way to get some time on the cruise again, I would try, but it was tricky timing wise to get sunset photos too.

Advice From One Bride To Another

You’re only as stressed as you choose to be. If you have reliable vendors, have faith that they know what they are doing, and if they communicate well it all comes together on the day. So, do your research. But also know if something goes slightly wrong, the only people who will know is you and your partner. And don’t sweat the small stuff, people remember the venue, the views, if the food was delicious – and if they had a great time.

Noosa Wedding Secrets 

Biggest splurge: My wedding dress, musician/dj and photography.

Best money-saving decision: By having the reception at Noosa Boathouse there isn’t a venue hire fee, just a minimum spend on food and beverage, and we didn’t spend money on fancy cars given the access to Maison la plage is via footpath.

A Scottish wedding in Australia, and make it rainy to boot!

Even a seasoned Wedding Planner can’t control the weather on her wedding day. As bride, Brittney, discovered when she and now husband, Dan, held their Scottish wedding here in Australia. 

As the Wedding Coordinator at Noosa Boathouse, Brittney has certainly seen it all and didn’t let a little bit of rain put a dampener on her wedding day. After all, she had secured the best wedding venue she could imagine in her and Dan’s home town of Noosa. No prizes for guessing where! 

You could say it was more than just the kilts and brogues worn by the Scottish groom and his groomsmen that brought a little touch of Scotland to the occasion! The weather was reminiscent of the groom’s family heritage, just like the tartan he wore. 

One thing every Wedding Planner will tell you – especially those who work in weddings in Queensland – you must have a wet weather backup plan. Brittney and Dan’s Plan B was put into motion and the team from Splash Events wasted no time in decorating the indoor space at Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort for Brittney and Dan’s wedding ceremony. 

The weather didn’t stop the just married couple from getting some stunning bridal party shots on Noosa’s Main Beach – that’s what cute umbrellas are for after all! And the rain stopped in time for them and their guests to enjoy a sunset cruise on the Noosa River before docking at their reception venue, Noosa Boathouse. 

Brittney shares all about her Scottish wedding in Australia below.

Why we chose Noosa for our Wedding Day

Noosa is and always will be home for us. We love it here so much. There was no other place we wanted to get married. As the Functions Manager at Noosa Boathouse, I was debating whether I wanted to have my reception at my work, but after searching for other venues, we couldn’t find anywhere that even compared. So, we went for it, and don’t regret a thing! It’s one of the most stunning venues and our friends and family were just blown away.

Our Biggest Wedding Planning Challenges

Underestimating the number of small tasks that pop up a few weeks out from your wedding day! Also, all the song choices! Those were hard. I think we changed our wedding entrance song at least five times.

Our Wedding Song Selections

Aisle walk song – Can’t Help Falling in Love – Kina Grannis

Reception Entrance – (This will be) An Everlasting Love – Natalie Cole

First Dance – Never Tear us Apart – The Teskey Brothers

Need Wedding Song ideas? Below is a playlist of songs Real Couples have shared with us…

Wedding Secrets 

Biggest splurge: Photography and videography. 

Best money-saving decision: Keeping the guest numbers down. There were times where we could have easily invited an extra 30 people but we fought the temptation and kept it quite intimate. No regrets it at all! 

Bride’s gown and accessories: Made With Love Bridal 

Bride’s shoes: Hush Puppies

Groom and groomsmens’ kilts and brogues: St. Kilda Kilt Hire

Bridesmaids’ dresses: Billy J

Flowergirl’s dress: Arabella & Rose

Number of guests: 56

Honeymoon destination: Bali 

Brittney’s Advice for Other Brides

Coming from the wedding planner in me as well as having gone through the process for my own wedding – don’t sweat the little stuff! There are so many moving parts that piece together your big day and sometimes they don’t all go exactly to plan (i.e rain!) but honestly, the only thing that actually matters, is that you are marrying the love of your life. Put your trust in your suppliers, relax, and have fun! The day goes by so quickly, just embrace it and it will be one of the most incredible days of your life.

Proposal Story

We went to the Greek Islands for a holiday. It was a bucket list place for the both of us and turned out to be the PERFECT place for Dan to propose! On the cliffside of Santorini with a bottle of bubbles and just the two of us, as you can probably imagine, it was INCREDIBLE! Our best holiday yet! Dan was so nervous, he could barely get the words out. I had no idea what was going on until he got down on one knee.

Our Love Story 

We met back in 2016 in Noosa where Dan was the manager of a local bar that my friends and I used to go to. After a few months of chasing, Dan mustered up some courage to invite me to go with him to a friends birthday party as his ‘date’, but unfortunately, I already had plans to attend another birthday celebration on the same day – so gave him a rain check.

Turns out we were going to the same party! The birthday boy was a mutual friend of ours (who became a groomsman at our wedding) and honestly, it all just fell together so naturally from there. We never wanted to be apart.

Undeniably, Noosa is home to some of the world’s most stunning beaches. It’s absolutely no wonder so many want to be married here and why our local wedding vendors never get tired of seeing these areas all dressed up for wedding ceremonies. 

Below I’ve shared some of the most popular locations couples choose for their Noosa weddings. Scroll to the bottom to learn exactly how to book to secure one of these beach ceremony locations exclusively for your Noosa wedding day. 

Maison La Plage

If you have planned a large wedding with more than 100 guests, this is the beach ceremony location for you as it has the largest capacity of the Noosa beach spots. It’s very popular with couples getting married in Noosa, as the pandanus trees create an iconic coastal vibe. On a sunny day, the aqua waves sparkle in the background.

Little Cove 

This is a super popular choice for elopements and micro weddings. You can be married right on the sane at Little Cove. Accessing this one can be a little tricky, especially if you have any guests with mobility issues, so bear that in mind when booking this spot for your ceremony. Its natural beauty is unmatched with sandy shores and beach rocks. There is a gorgeous variety of opportunities for wedding party photos in this location.

Hidden Grove

Another great spot where you can have a larger guest list for your Noosa beach wedding ceremony. “Hidden” may not be the most appropriate name for this grove, as it’s situated very centrally in Noosa! This is a great thing if you’re holding your wedding reception at one of the many gorgeous Noosa wedding venues along Hastings Street, or on the Noosa River.

How to Book a Beach Ceremony Location in Noosa

As soon as you know your wedding date, if you want to get married in Noosa, you need to act fast. Once the dates are gone they’re gone, so be sure to check the availability of your fave Noosa beach ceremony location ASAP. 

You can do this through the Noosa Shire Council website. Yes, there is a fee and it will be non-refundable. Some areas are able to be booked for 2 hours, while others you can have for up to 3 hours. 

Should you risk not booking and just show up on the day? Absolutely not. If you didn’t go ahead and book it, chances are someone will have – and they will have the power to kick you out of their designated ceremony hour. Definitely don’t risk it! Make the booking and pay the fee, it’s a small price to pay to get a stunning spot in a world-famous Noosa beach spot for your wedding. 

Frequently asked questions about planning a wedding ceremony in Noosa

The post Noosa Beach Wedding Ceremony Locations appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

When thinking of a destination wedding in Noosa, you might not initially think Mediterranean. However, I bet after seeing the styling here, you will be planning your own Noosa Mediterranean wedding. 

Dreaming of a Noosa wedding or destination wedding that will give you all the holiday vibes, but with a high end luxe feel? I got you with this shoot I put together with some of the Sunshine Coast’s most sought-after wedding vendors, and a few new faces I’m pleased to introduce you to as well. 

First things first, an Aperol Spritz on arrival to set the tone for this Mediterranean style reception at Noosa wedding venue, Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar. 

Destination Wedding in Noosa

We wanted this wedding inspiration shoot to feel like a true destination wedding – a world away in ultimate luxury. Noosa is a dream wedding location for couples the world over, but additionally our venue is tucked away in a secluded spot on the Noosa River that certainly makes you feel like you’ve found yourself your own secret spot to celebrate your wedding. 

Coming straight from Mykonos Luxury Villa to Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar is a seamless transition for a Mediterranean wedding theme. The restaurant venue’s modern Italian menu and interior styling, along with its riverfront location, were the ideal choice – especially being only a quick 15-minute drive apart. 

Stying the tablescape in a Mediterranean vibe using this year’s Pantone Colour of the Year, Peach Fuzz, was the brief and Sunshine Weddings absolutely nailed it, complemented by floral designs from Gwen Floral Co. More on the styling below, however if you haven’t yet seen Part One of our Noosa Mediterranean wedding shoot, you need to go back and check out the fashion and beauty in our first location, a stunning grecian style Airbnb in Sunshine Beach.

Peach Fuzz Wedding in Mediterranean Style

Many 2024-25 weddings will utilise Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Peach Fuzz, so we wanted to inspire you by utilising the trending colour in a creative way. A Mediterranean style wedding colour palette can be soft and pretty, incorporating fruits for that just-picked-from-the-orchard feel. Actual peaches were the obvious choice and a sweet alternative to the often used citrus for a Mediterranean wedding tablescape.

Stylist Sunshine Weddings amped up the peach with the use of delicate pillar candle in various thickness and heights, as well as tall tapered candles. Soft linen napkins in the palest of pinks were just enough to tie in with the floral centrepieces that layered the colour palette with both pastels and a pop of deeper pink tones also incorporated in the signage.

Live Sketch Artist

Our model was immortalised by Britt Shoo Art, who offers a live sketch service for weddings. We love this idea for weddings! Guests will take home an original artwork of themselves to commemorate the day they celebrated your marriage.

Bridal Jewellery Styling

Our model wears show-stopping jewellery from Leskes Jewellers. Her engagement ring is a Madagascan cushion cut Morganite set in rose gold, paired with a wedding band encrusted with round brilliant cut diamonds. 

Am I the drama? I don’t think I’m the drama… maybe I am?

When it comes to jewellery, there’s always room for a little drama! Her statement necklace is a strand of ombré pink Edison pearls, and she wears drop earrings to match. Sometimes more is more, and with a reception mini featuring a giant bow on the back, we say go big with the drama – why not? It’s your big day after all!

Each look from this shoot was styled with stunning pieces from Peregian Beach-based Leskes Jewellers.

Upstyle for the Reception

In Part One of this shoot, our model sported a gorgeous voluminous blow out. For the reception, our wedding hair stylist, Niki Taylor (formerly Sass & Niki’s Wedding Hair), swept up her locks into a glam bun. It’s sleek, yet soft around her face with just the right amount of volume for a flattering bridal hair style. 

Our shoot just so happened to fall on a very rainy day, so we decided to demonstrate that opting for an upstyle for the reception is both a beautiful and practical choice. An upstyle wasn’t necessarily in our plan originally, but that’s the beauty of having a hair stylist available for a touch up service – a style change is entirely possible and allows you to roll with the punches on the day. You can’t control the weather, but you can plan ahead to be ready for anything on your wedding day. 

If you loved the Noosa Mediterranean wedding reception styling in this article, you’re really going to have your jaw on the floor when you see Part One of this impeccable shoot. For the bride dreaming of a destination wedding, this one can’t be missed.

There aren’t many Noosa restaurant wedding venues where you can hold both your ceremony and reception in one place, but Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar is one of them. 

Footbridge Park is an idyllic riverfront location, serene and stunningly positioned with the sparkling Noosa River as your backdrop. Best of all, it’s a mere few side steps from reception venue, Noosa Waterfront Restaurant & Bar. 

Highschool sweethearts Simone and Matthew chose this for their Noosa wedding venue, meaning all their guests could mingle for cocktail hour while they went for a quick bridal photo shoot at Noosa Main Beach in that perfect twilight hour. 

Their classic black and white wedding colour theme suited the luxe Noosa wedding location, while tying in a subtle “Something Blue” in the floral styling to incorporate a touch of prettiniess that cohesively appeared throughout. Citrus ceremony styling elements were extended to the reception tablescape as well, hinting at a slightly Mediterranean wedding vibe that the venue is known for in its style, and menu as well. 

Simone was kind enough to share all her wedding secrets with us – including where she found That Dress! Read on to get all the goss on the couple’s lovely Noosa restaurant wedding day.

The post Simone loves Matthew | Noosa Restaurant Wedding appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

It’s a tale as old as time: teacher meets teacher, love blossoms and a Noosa Boathouse wedding ensues.

Seriously, the only thing that comes close to highschool sweethearts is two freshly qualified teachers on their first ever rural service post locking eyes at the local pub in North Queensland. 

Cut to 2023 and Samuel and Leah are saying their vows amongst 100 of their nearest and dearest in a Noosa wedding ceremony. As Sunshine Coast locals themselves, they couldn’t think of a better backdrop for their wedding than Maison La Plage, Noosa with the shore poking through the trees. 

What I love about this wedding is that it’s evident they put a lot of focus on the ceremony and making it really special for themselves and their guests. When going through their album to select images for this article, I almost felt like I was there as Noosa wedding photographer Alan Hughes had captured every special moment so beautifully from every angle. 

Then when reading about what the groom, Samuel, had written about how they felt saying their vows with Noosa celebrant, Philippa Holness,  was the most magical moment of the day and they splurged to make the ceremony extra special, it all made sense. The getting married part was the focus of their day, and the relaxed, atmospheric party at Noosa wedding venue, Noosa Boathouse, was the icing on the cake. 

For something different, as I mentioned, it’s the groom who has shared the story of their Noosa wedding day with us. It’s great to hear his perspective, so please do read on and enjoy!

Big on The Ceremony

“Flowers were probably our biggest splurge. They make a huge difference to the personality of the day. Generally as well, we wanted to splurge a little on our ceremony. It means the most to us that we got that right. So we had wonderful flowers, a champagne tower and a bar for our guests.”

The Proposal

“I proposed  to Leah on a private handmade boat on Lake Como in Italy. It was one year, to the day, before our ceremony. It was a perfect day on the water and we shared it with Leah’s best friend and sister, Michaela (my photgrapher, who captured the moment). We then celebrated with champagne on a stunning rooftop terrace overlooking Lake Como.”

Getting Married in Noosa

“Ensuring that our families were all able to make it was our biggest wedding priority. It was just about the only reason we didn’t elope. Oh, another priority was location. Noosa Heads can’t be beaten.

“We wanted to ensure it was local. We love that we can take some beers and wine down to the exact place we were married and celebrate our love. And, I mean, check out the photos. What a stunning place to get married. Few better places in the world.”

What were the most emotional moments of the day, and those you’ll never forget? 

Do you have any advice for other couples planning their weddings? 

Look after your mental health! It can be stressful. Breathe. And soak up every minute of your wedding day because it goes so fast- but it will be the best day of your life!!!

What were your wedding planning priorities?

Trying to keep costs down. Not to stress over too many things. That it wouldn’t rain! Haha. And that our reception met our expectations which it did! Bistro C was amazing.

Why did you choose to be married in Noosa? 

We have both loved Noosa since we were kids, and being in Noosa always makes us feel happy. Getting married with the ocean behind us, was just magical.

Which songs did you use for the big moments of the wedding day?
