Ashleigh + Joshua’s DIY Wedding

Sally Townsend — Tue, 18 Aug 2015 10:58:36 +0000

Ashleigh and Joshua’s vintage-inspired DIY wedding is adorable from top to toe, and they chose the perfect location to bring their sweet vision to life. The happy couple travelled from Hervey Bay to enjoy a destination wedding with their 36 guests.

Maleny is truly a magical place; it is home to some of the best mountain views you will ever see, the township is positively charmingly quaint, yet the region itself is sprawling and teeming with gorgeous little Bed and Breakfasts, unbelievable luxury estates, private holiday houses and of course wedding venues galore.

Nicky Stone Photographer was on hand to capture all the love, and the cute details, too.

“Pinterest was my best friend throughout the planning! I got the app on my phone so even during ten-minute breaks at work I could do research.“

“We make each other laugh. We could be having a terrible day, or just a little tiff, and one of us will make the other laugh and everything will seem okay.“

“I knew there would be a lot of vintage influence (in our wedding), as that is our usual style. Doing DIY with my mum and maid of honor meant a majority of plans were made with them.“

The 1940’s and 50’s were all about glamour and extravagance when it comes to ladies and their style. Brides today take elements from the 1940’s and 50’s eras and infuse them with contemporary styles to make for an extremely elegant wedding day look.

Some incredible Sunshine Coast wedding professionals came together to create this stunning shoot with oodles of glamour and style. The bride was pure vintage Hollywood movie star glamour with sleek finger waves and pin curl rolls, chocolate brown smoky eye colours, vintage claret lips, and of course the classic beauty spot! The bride carried a bouquet made of red ippeastrums, red roses, white Oriental Lilies and Dodda Vine wrapped in taupe chiffon ribbon.

The bridesmaid took a classic look from the 50’s with long waves and curls with stunning black fascinator and vintage brooches, powder perfect skin, white soft shimmer and blush eye colours, classic eyeliner and tea rose lips and cheeks.

To amp up the glamour, some provincial style furniture and lace parasols and fans came into play on the absolutely gorgeous hinterland property on a perfect Sunshine Coast day.
