Real Wedding: Emma and Jacob in Noosa and Ilkley

18th January 2015

The best of both worlds – a chapel wedding in the country, followed by gorgeous Noosa beach bridal party photos at Little Cove, and a marquee reception at a private Noosa residence. I have to say, that sounds really quite a perfect wedding day!  Emma and Jacob planned a gorgeous affair from top to bottom, with stacks of DIY details and a country feel that we are just mad for. Raving mad to be precise. Their ceremony took place at AnnaBella, The Wedding Chapel, in Ilkley after a 12-month engagement, during which family and friends pitched in to help make…

Vintage Glam Chapel Wedding Style

10th September 2014

For our first free online bridal magazine, we shot three very different vintage style using just one dress off the rack from Angels Noosa and one location – Anna Bella The Wedding Chapel. The first was our Vintage Garden Picnic Wedding, featuring sweet vintage bottle chandeliers and picnic table, the second was a striking Spring Races Wedding theme, which included a triad of bright colours and antique riding crop and horse shoes. I’m a little bit biased when it comes to this last one, as it really is my fave, so I think we saved the best till last. Today we are…

AnnaBella Wedding

23rd May 2013

Chantel and Rob were married at what I consider to be one of the most perfect Sunshine Coast ceremony locations. AnnaBella The Wedding Chapel is but 10 minutes from local beaches and is a purpose-built wedding chapel set on a super pretty, perfectly-maintained secluded property on a quiet country road in Ilkley.  The AnnaBella Chapel is also decorated by owner, Judy, in the most tasteful and thoughtful manner with antique wooden pews, antique Chinese altar and light streaming that creates warmth befitting to a day spent joining families and celebrating love.  Take a peek at Chantel and Rob’s perfect day…

Spring Races Wedding Styling

2nd July 2012

When thinking of a theme for your wedding, it doesn't all have to be about the colours and the bombonieres, and how you will decorate the joint up. You can also have your guests get involved and bring a bit of the styling on their person. No, I'm not suggesting you do an all-white party wedding, Jay-Z or P.Diddy-style (or whoever it is, who hosts these ludacris events.) Personally, I think limiting your entire guest list to wearing but one colour is a bit over-the-top and potentially stressful for them. You could, however, ask them to get into the spirit of…

Happy Monday, brides! What a wonderful week to be planning a wedding. We thought we might kick it off with a little treat of the leftover variety. These gorgeous images by Emma Nayler Photographer of our Garden Picnic styled shoot were not all able to fit in our first edition of The Bride's Tree free online magazine, which came out in April. When you have something this delicious in your mitts, you sure want to share it around, so enjoy this little taste from our One Dress, Three Ways shoot at AnnaBella The Wedding Chapel. It was a gorgeous location,…
