One such tool is our seating arrangement tool, that actually allows you to swap and change all of your guests around as much as you need to until you have it just so. Sometimes seating arrangements can change right up until the day of the wedding, and it can be really hard to get your head around exactly what you need to do to make a quick shuffle around. Taking into consideration personality conflicts, family expectations, and of course those single friend matches made in heaven you are planning to make claim of in years to come… there is so much to think about! 

A few of our readers have told us that they have used our tool with a small cork board, so they always had a perfect vision of the way their wedding would be set out, and it was super easy to do a quick last minute switcheroo if need be. You can find this great printable wedding planning tool and many others we know you will love right here.

Nothing says glamour like a 1920’s party with the elite and gorgeous. So get your glad rags on and get ready for a wedding soiree to remember! This shoot was styled by Canadian events stylist, Heather Robinson Roles of Events Inspired, who recently relocated to the Sunshine Coast. How wonderful for us all! We absolutely adore this high tea shoot, which was inspired by The Great Gatsby. 

As it is a high tea wedding Heather picked the colour of teal and combined with ivory and gold. The colouring and styling is perfect for a small intimate wedding, bridal shower or day after soiree. It is light and airy that is perfect for any time of the year and works great as an indoor or garden party. 

Lush Full Florals used in a loose and casual way, along with bouquets with special touches of feathers and broaches.  Ecuadorian Roses, Lisianthus, Lambs ear and feathers add to the fun and fashion of this era.

The dessert table has a mixture of a three-tired cake for more traditional feel with some little treats thrown in like cupcakes, cake pops, cookies and macarons. A different approach to serving meringues is a meringue cake that presents the meringues in a more unique and fun way.

The food reflects the high tea feel with different flavours of tea, mini sandwiches, scones and fruit preserve served beautifully on vintage three-tiered plates and chargers

The mismatched china plates and tea cups give a whimsical and vintage feel that feels perfect for such a soiree

Small four person tables allow the guest to mingle and take in the décor and gardens

The feel of the 1920’s would not be right without the stylish dresses that were vintage inspired, and many of which are made from vintage shawls and lace. This marries beautifully with the hair accessories that are using both vintage and new materials in its creations

Four real weddings in all different styles across many varying budgets are featured. There's a Maroochydore wedding, a Maleny wedding, a Caloundra wedding and a Noosa wedding – all stunning. We also have some of the most incredible dresses you will ever have clapped eyes on, by a local bridal couture designer. This shoot took place at Twin Waters. 

Our rustic Mexican wedding styled shoot is amazing!

This week we also shared with you some divine florals from a Sunshine Coast florist we adore. 

We took on a great debate: indoor or outdoor ceremony? Some of our fave Sunshine Coast wedding ceremony locations were featured.

We were all given the opportunity to swoon and go "awww!" with the most adorable grooms ever! We shared some photographs of that moment when a groom sees his bride for the first time on their wedding day. So sweet!

Our Friday Gallery of the Week featured a Sunshine Coast marquee hire company, who put together incredible marquee weddings.

So much amazing wedding inspiration this week, and of course there was also our Photo of the Week yesterday, which is a definite must-see. This particular photo went completely viral on Facebook during the week, and it's plain to see why!

Set in intimate surrounds amongst towering weeping figs, the Secret Garden is an enchanting concept that delicately combines elegance and glamour. The eclectic mix of mismatched chairs, stunning chandeliers, crystal vases and vintage mirrors, alongside a tea light aisle way, combine to create a truly magical and feminine scene.It’s the little details that really make this styling so special. We love the macramé chandelier and handwritten mirror set upon an elegant white easel. So special!

Now, let's talk about this candy buffet… my goodness, what a delectable display! Pretty apothecary jars, teacups and books make for a whimsical trip to sweet tooth heaven! Not to be outdone, the refreshments table is equally as divine. I love to death the wine glasses-come teacups. Who wouldn't love drinking from these?! Seriously, who? Find me the person – this is my challenge* to you.

These beautiful images were taken by none other than the super talented and super sweet, Jennifer Oliphant, who is one of our favourite Sunshine Coast wedding photographers. She has captured this styling beautifully, as she does with all of the weddings she photographs.

*You cannot win this challenge. You will fail.
