Alexandra loves Alec | Mooloolaba Wedding

Sally Townsend — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 11:54:30 +0000

Making the decision to plan their wedding in just five months was three fold.

1)The date they chose was Alexandra’s grandmother’s birthday;

2) their dream photographer was available;

3) the venue Alec found was available, too.

It seems like fate was on their side, especially as the bride, Alexandra, chose the very first dress she tried on! Even though she had to double check it was still The One a couple of months down the track.

One choice Alex never questioned was the one where she decided to marry Alec. Their love and downright joy in each other’s company is evident in the images and film below, telling the story of their dream day. I couldn’t help but smile and fall a little in love with them myself when putting together this article!

I know you’re going to adore them and their super stylish wedding, too. The Brisbane couple were married at the Mooloolaba Marina venue, Pier 33, before taking off for a fun photo shoot with their bridal party at Point Cartwright.

Alexandra and Alec share their story below.

Let’s hear from the Groom…

I had been trying to propose all day however there were a number of interruptions to my efforts. We spent the morning at the beach with her sister and brother in law, but they decided to pack up and leave before I got a moment. Then, Alex ran into an old friend, and the conversation kept flowing. When they departed, the weather had turned so we headed back home. The ring went back into the pocket for another day. With an overcast morning the next day, I was able to convince her to have a coffee on the beach. It was overcast and slightly windy, not ideal, with Alex wanting to go home- somehow I convinced her to stay ‘until the sun comes up.’ I kissed her and maneuvered onto one knee before she realised what was happening, I asked her to spend forever with me. After smothering me in kisses, I realised she never actually said yes.

Most emotional moment of the day

I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Gold!

The one thing I’ll never forget

Repeating the words ‘my husband’ and ‘your wife’ during the vows- the smile could not be wiped from our faces.

Highest wedding planning priority

I always knew that I wanted Beccy Smith (of XOX Weddings) to photograph my wedding, so the moment that we were engaged she was the first vendor we messaged to see if she was available.

Biggest challenge

Planning it in five months! We decided to get married on my grandma’s birthday on the 27th of September. When we confirmed Pier 33 and Beccy were available in 2019, we couldn’t wait for the following year. It was definitely stressful at times, but it also encouraged us to not fret over the small details and to make quick decisions.

I chose my wedding dress six days after we were engaged. I tried on a few different dresses, but returned to the first one I tried on. I ended up having to go back two months later with wedding jitters just to make sure it was what I wanted as it was such a blur!

Our next big adventure.

We’ve nailed it. Wedding, house and baby in 12 months.

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: Our neon sign that we got made purely for the reception, it now hangs in our dining room as a wonderful reminder of the event. It reads – The Golds.

Best money-saving decision: A few small DIY projects and cutting out all the typical ‘fluff’ that comes with a big event.

Dress: Chosen by One Day from Sphere Collective

Veil: Sphere Collective

Shoes: Loeffler Randall

Groom’s and groomsmen’s attire: Jacket was Scotch & Soda, Pants and shirt were Country Road.

Shoes: Urge Footwear

Bridesmaids’ dresses: Bec and Bridge

Junior bridesmaids dresses: Sourced their own navy dresses.

DIY: Welcome sign, confetti boxes, seating chart and the place holders.

Honeymoon: Elements of Byron Bay

Lauren loves Joe | Sunshine Beach Wedding

Sally Townsend — Wed, 20 May 2020 12:08:16 +0000

Beautifully styled in the most stunning beach location, Lauren and Joe’s wedding was a heartfelt dream of a day. The on-trend colour palette of peaches and warm neutral tones with pops of rust and peony coral were perfect for the beachside location of Sunshine Beach SLSC. The ceremony, styled by Simply Style Co., overlooked Sunshine Beach and guests didn’t have to travel far to the reception – in fact, it was right upstairs!

Bride, Lauren, kindly shared her wedding secrets with us below…

Why I married this man

Joe is unbelievably thoughtful and considerate. We both have strong family values, which is very important to me. He can always make me smile – no matter what mood I am in or how bad my day has been. He is one very attractive man! If you look up the word “gentleman” in the dictionary, I swear there would be a photo of Joe (right next to a photo of my Dad.)

Why he married me

Joe says, “Lauren is a kind soul who has strong family values. She makes me feel like I am important to her. She’s my rock – whenever I have a bad day, within two seconds of being around her, my troubles melt away.”

Biggest wedding-planning challenge

Our guest list – we are both from quite large, tight knit families, so even before we added any friends, our numbers were up there!

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: My dress – I am not a very confident person and knew I wanted to feel beautiful yet comfortable on the most important day of my life to date!

Best money-saver: Asking for recommendations from locals for decorators and florists – a few of the ones we spoke to originally wanted to charge us per head, and we couldn’t understand why (given we weren’t having anything that was on a per person basis, such as chair covers or table settings) – but the ones we worked with (Rachelle from Simply Style Co. and Sandi from Willow Bud) were absolutely amazing, well priced and gave us a completely bespoke service.

Honeymoon: We stayed on at Sunshine Beach/Noosa for a week after the wedding. We were planning on having a honeymoon later in the year to either New Zealand or Tasmania, but COVID-19 has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works there!

Number of guests: 130

Wedding budget: We didn’t set an overall budget – we knew what we wanted, found the right priced vendors, and saved accordingly.

Actual cost of wedding: $53,000

Tessa loves Jordan | Noosa River Wedding

Sally Townsend — Sun, 12 Apr 2020 19:00:37 +0000

Highschool sweethearts, Tessa and Jordan planned their destination wedding in Noosa from their home in Victoria. Having their hearts set on a beach wedding, when they visited Noosa, they fell madly in love all over again and chose Noosa Boathouse for their Noosa River wedding reception venue. Their ceremony was held at Hidden Grove, Noosa, just off Noosa Main Beach.

Tessa has shared her online wedding planning experience in her own words below…

Why a Noosa River Wedding

We aren’t religious and always wanted an outside beach wedding, but as Victoria has such unpredictable weather we decided the Sunshine coast was the ideal place. We stayed up in Noosa a few months prior to the wedding and fell in love with the place.

Standout Vendor

Rachael from Splash Events was absolutely amazing, we felt like we could ask her anything and she completly blew us away with her styling at the ceremony and reception.

The Proposal

Jordan proposed to me at the top of the One Liberty observation deck in Philadelphia. It was at Sunset and I was taken completely by surprise, it was perfect.

Why I Married This Person

He is my best friend, I always smile when I think of him and he always makes me laugh. I love his family and my family absolutely loves him, which makes life so easy. We support each others dreams and goals in life and I can’t think of anyone more amazing and thoughtful.

Biggest Wedding-planning Challenge

The Guest List, we have a lot of friends and family and we didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but we wanted a small wedding with people who knew us as a couple and loved us.

Advice for Engaged Couples

Just relax, everyone is there to support you. Be a bit selfish with the guest list and just have fun in the little moments on the big day.

The Music

Walking down the aisle was ‘Give Me Love’ by Ed Sheeran, and our first dance was ‘I Like Me Better’ by Lauv. But Daryl Braithwaite’s ‘The Horses’ stole the show at the end of the night.

Check out this playlist compiled from suggestions by real couples, and some of my own suggestions…

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: The private ferry for our guests, we didn’t want anyone to be bored while we had our photos taken.

Best money-saver: Having our wedding on a Thursday. Because it was a destination wedding, everyone turned it into a little holiday, so it didn’t make a difference being a weekday.

Wedding-planning resources: The Brides Tree was a massive help for inspiration as well as easyweddings.com.au, and the staff at the Noosa Boathouse.

Bride’s dress: Fairytales Bridal Boutique in Melbourne

Bride’s shoes: Wittner Shoes

Groom’s and groomsmen’s suits and accessories: Yd.

Sierra loves Harrison | Point Cartwright Wedding

Sally Townsend — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 19:00:25 +0000

Sierra and Harrison met in the water, got engaged in the ocean, and were married in the rock pools at Point Cartwright. This surfer couple’s wedding was all about being wild and free, and natural simplicity.

Bride, Sierra, has shared her dream wedding day with us, which the unpretentious couple pulled off for just $6000…

Unforgettable Moment

I should probably say something like our vows but in all honesty it is probably the cheeky bum squeeze I gave Harrison right after we signed our marriage certificate during the ceremony. We were behind a table and I managed to pull it off without anyone seeing.

The Wedding Morning

I actually surfed with Harrison the morning of. We love surfing and it’s how we met. Forget the tradition of not seeing the bride before the wedding! We got sunrise pictures in the water the morning of and some fun little waves.

Images by Mallory Sparkles Photography

Why a Sunshine Coast Wedding?

We live here! And I had connections for my reception venue so I got it very affordable, it only cost $80 for a permit to get married on the rocks at Point Cartwright. It’s absolutely breathtaking there. We met in the ocean, got engaged in the ocean, and had to get married in the tide pools there to finish it off!

Standout Vendors

Sally Townsend came to my location to do my make up. She was quick, efficient, and listened to what I wanted. Mallory (Mallory Sparkles Photography) went above and beyond even helping direct people around that morning so I wouldn’t have to because I didn’t have a point person to take charge.

The Proposal

We were squeezing in yet another ocean adventure between my night class training and my daytime teaching schedule so it was very spontaneous. We were paddling to Old Woman island (a special place for us) off of Mudjimba beach. We were about halfway when there was a fish/bird/ splashing full blown feeding frenzy so there’s a good chance there’s also sharks feeding on the fish. We stopped and Harrison wasn’t sure we should continue but I was all for it. I said this is the kind of adrenaline I needed in my life so Harrison did it right there in the water on our surfboards. We then went to the island and had a surf and adventure around the island.

Why I Married This Man

Harrison is my best friend. We love having fun adventures together and hanging out. We are opposites that balance each other out and are able to get along with our very different personalities. Harrison is very patient and kind. He’s a peacemaker and his humility before God and dedication to do what is right is what first attracted me to him.

One Thing I’d Change

Get a point person to boss everyone around for me and make everything happen. I wrote an itinerary with instructions for everyone but no one really followed it and some transitions were not so smooth. But I didn’t mind, I was dead set on having fun.

The Music

I walked down to “Best Friend” by Queen because it was fresh and funky just like our whole relationship. Also just so accurate. Harrison had to surprise me with our first dance. He chose “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest since we spent a lot of time running around beaches at night and it was one we loved.

Check out our Walk Down the Aisle Playlist with suggestions from real couples, and some of my own suggestions…

Wedding Secrets

Biggest Splurge: My amazing photographer Mallory (Mallory Sparkles Photographer). Harrison and I are very bare essentials and DIY sort of people. So having a photographer that was not one of Harrison’s friends was a slight debate. However, we decided in the end that it was worth it to get a professional in the mix. Mallory captured our day in it’s raw and beautiful form so we can continue to relive it! While we were looking through our wedding photos Harrison said, “You we’re right, Mallory was totally worth it. She made it really fun and easy to have genuine photos.”

Best bargain: I custom-ordered my dress online only 1.5 months before our wedding. It was only $250. Luckily I got it early enough to have the underlay of the dress altered because it wasn’t quite right. I got referred by a friend to an amazing seamstress who did it for $80.

Bride’s dress: Ali Express, the supplier was named Nancy Li. I was afraid I’d end up with one of those online orders that comes nothing like the picture but I messaged her extensively before ordering asking about the fabric and everything. She was very responsive and I had buyer protection so I could send it back for a full refund.

Groom’s attire: Country Road on sale for $300

Shoes: No shoes. Wild and free just like us!

Bridesmaids’ dresses: Baby Lemonade

Groomsmens’ attire: Whatever white shirts they had and Country Road pants

DIY: Table centrepieces, cakes, wedding favours (shells we found on the beach during our engagement), bride’s hair, and bridesmaids’ hair and makeup.

Honeymoon: Road trip down the East Coast of Australia. It was amazing we scored some pumping surf at Lennox Heads, Angourie, Cabarita Beach, Coffs Harbour.

Number of guests: 80

Wedding budget: As little as possible!

Actual cost of wedding: $6,000

The One Thing I Wouldn’t Change

Enjoying every minute, even the messy moments. Being spontaneous and going off script with dancing and my vows.

Our Next Adventure

Probably just change the world for Jesus, following the passions he’s given us and watching how he unfolds his plan to use us.

Australiana Goes a Little Bit Gatsby | Styled Shoot

Sally Townsend — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 23:15:10 +0000

When my son was little, each year he would announce his chosen theme for his birthday, and since he could never land on just one, we fell into the habit of going with it. We had Pirates + Bowling for his fourth birthday, Soccer + Inflatables for his 9th birthday. We had Olympics + Barbeque for his 10th birthday, Dr. Who + Bowling (again) for his 7th birthday. My favourite of all was his “Princes and Queens + Backyard Camping” for his 6th birthday. Needless to say, I’m personally not at all adverse to a dual theme.

Gatsby Wedding

“Australiana meets The Great Gatsby”, in my eyes, is a match made in heaven. I’m quite taken by the genius of those who planned this feat. I reckon my man cub would even get on board with this one!

The models were dressed in a classic Hollywood style, dripping with that Gatsby glamour. Traditional florals had a love affair with native Australian florals for the day. And let me tell you it was an affair full of unbridled passion.

The marriage of these two concepts was further coerced by the locations – first, the stunning natural coastline, and finishing with the glitz of Mooloolaba’s Boston Shaker Bar.

Tegan loves Lawrence | Noosa North Shore Wedding

Sally Townsend — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 03:17:01 +0000

Tegan was expecting an exciting weekend trip from Brisbane to Sydney to see her favourite singer, Sia, with her favourite man, Lawrence. Little did she know, Lawrence planned to make the weekend away even more memorable. After enjoying a lunch of champagne and seafood on the beach, he popped The Big Question!

The couple then got to planning their stunning Noosa North Shore wedding on an impressively modest budget, and still managing to cater for their 110 guests. How did Tegan and Lawrence manage to hold their big wedding in Queensland’s most popular wedding destination on a $20,000 budget? Tegan shares her wedding secrets below…

Most Unforgettable Moments

“Reading our vows to each other; such touching words from my husband. And the speeches from all the people we care and love so much.”

The Venue

“We just fell in love with the secluded and tranquil feeling of Beach Stone House. It really represented us as people to be outdoors in nature and having our dogs included too was really important to us.”

Standout Suppliers

“Tara as she is an amazing photographer. She really knows how to make you feel relaxed and capture those special moments. Dios Mio food truck; I couldn’t believe how quickly they prepared the food and everyone loved it!”

Why Marry Lawrence?

“He is my best friend and just gets me. We met in London travelling and will always share that passion for new and exciting experiences.”

Advice for Future Brides

Simone loves Corey | Cotton Tree Wedding

Sally Townsend — Sun, 24 Mar 2019 19:00:06 +0000

Simone and Corey spent a couple of years planning their Cotton Tree wedding, the key thing they attribute to its success. Having given so much time and thoughtful planning to the day, even an unexpected change of venue didn’t rattle them.

Their organisation allowed for a relaxed day and made way for some seriously sweet details, like the surfboard they had made which became both their ceremony signing table and guest book.

The local Mountain Creek couple were married in a beach ceremony at Cotton Tree, and followed it up with a reception at Maroochy Surf Club overlooking the ocean.

Simone has shared all her wedding planning experiences and best tips for those wanting a day as perfectly calm and enjoyable as hers…

The Proposal

“On NYE 2016 Corey took me for a picnic on Alexandra Headland hill. We then went down for a walk on the beach where he asked me to turn around and close my eyes and got down on one knee. His friend hid in trees and captures the moment, which is so nice to look back on.”

Wedding Planning Priorities

“After looking at many wedding venues we decided a beach wedding was important to us because we spend so much of our time together there. Good entertainment was also important as we love a good party.”

Stand-out Suppliers

“Mallory Sparkles (photography) is incredible, Natalie Hunter did a beautiful job with our makeup, and Ceri fromEvalyn Parsons (hair) was amazing. Emilia from Bloodwood Botanica is so talented, her flower creations took my breath away. Aaron from Cut a Rug (DJ) was so much fun and really knows how to work a crowd. Maroochy Surf Club was great too, they made everything to do with the planning so easy.”

Images by Mallory Sparkles Photography

Unforgettable Moments

“There are so many special moments. Walking down the aisle and seeing Corey’s face, our first dance which was different to a traditional wedding dance – it was a Brazilian style of dance called Zouk. And dancing on the beach under the fireworks.”

The One Thing We Wouldn’t Change for the World

“Having our dogs at our ceremony. They are our babies.”

Simone and Corey’s Next Adventures…

“Our next goal is to buy our family home and to go to Europe for a holiday.”

How to Nail a Tropical Wedding Theme – Minus the Tacky.

Sally Townsend — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 03:27:06 +0000

Minimalistic neutrals have been a mainstay of many 2018 weddings, and while we love this classic go-to, it can be fun to mix it up with a bit of colour now and then!

Chic Summer Style

As we launch into the New Year, we’re petitioning for the return of the bold and bright colour palette. Queensland weddings are especially suited to a tropical vibe with their temperate climate and sun-soaked year-round weather. Often when you think of a tropical theme, you imagine going a little overboard on the flamingos, pineapples and coconuts. Here we’ll show you how to modernise this balmy and fun, summer styling favourite.

Images by Bulb Creative

A Flower in Her Hair

Continue your theme into your personal bridal style by asking your florist to craft a floral hairpiece. These pint-sized pops of colour can be positioned off to the side or even centred over a low bun. Now is also the time to be a little extra with your earring choice too. Don’t be afraid of opting for bold gold statement earrings or even a bright tassel! However, be sure not to over-do your hair and makeup with this combination. This look by Rachael Harris Makeup Artistry uses soft waves and a dewy bronzed-up glow mimicking the effect of serious sunshine time.

Festive Cake

The cake featured in this zesty and fun shoot by Milk and Honey Cake Creative was a deliciously on-theme tiered passionfruit and coconut cake. The top tier was covered in gorgeous gold, the mid layer in a coconut flake ruffle hand-painted with a gold trim and the base layer stamped with a beautiful ornate pattern.

Tropical Tablescape

Keep it classy by mixing textures and finishes to soften the bright shades of hot pink, orange, yellow or green. Golds and raw textural elements such as an unclothed wooden table or rattan place setting will elevate a tablescape instantly, so be sure to include these in the mix.

The styling here uses colourful tropical florals and monstera leaves by Clara Jean Events pared back with neutral tableware and gold cutlery. Alternatively, if you have your heart set on a few coconuts and a flamingo or two, why not select a feature colour and keep everything else super sleek and simple? This will allow your theme to shine without falling into the garish category.

Here you can see a mix of both pineapples and coconuts are toned down with the help of rich greens and gold finishes. Showing restraint with these classic tropical items will really modernise your styling.

Dreamy Lovers | Seaside Bridal Style

Sally Townsend — Sun, 30 Dec 2018 01:22:42 +0000

Dreamy lovers, relaxed glam in a seaside setting = the perfect way to see out 2018 and welcome a new season of wedding inspiration.

This simple, chic shoot is here to provide you with some quintessentially 2018 bridal style that will surely continue through 2019. A statement bridal gown with minimal styling is a bridal style trend we hope will stick around for awhile yet.

Images by Jenna Fahey White.

Nala Gown

This dress is one for the lovers and dreamers. ‘Nala’ from Chosen by One Day Bridal has mirrored embellished gold tulle dreamily draping into a full skirt from the fitted bodice with plunging neckline and low back. We love this gown for its statement of confidence, and it’s also available in a curve design.

Makeup + Hair

Natalie Hunter Makeup Artist applied a soft bronze look with a dewy glow-from-within complexion to complement the dress and carefree beachside location.

Beau was not only the male model on this shoot, but the hair stylist – Beau Hair Jobs. Beau clearly knows how to tame his love’s tresses into perfectly imperfect relaxed waves.

Thank you for supporting our A-list Vendors, who worked on this stunning shoot…
