In our coastal environment, we are blessed with some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and absolutely glorious weather pretty much year round. The Sunshine Coast is all about relaxing and going with the flow. This is the perfect place for the bride who wants a not-too-much-fuss, relaxed and funky look on their wedding day.

This bohemian bridal look is fresh, fun, funky and fabulous. And we are positively head over heels in love with everything about this bridal style. The amazing photographs were taken by none other than the outstanding talent that is Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Jodi McDonald. The stunningly gorgeous model, Soraya, was prettied up with makeup by Trish Falzon of TF Makeup Artist, and Shae Roberts was both hair stylist and assistant makeup artist. Florals with feathers are a real winner for a bohemian wedding, and we simply adore this bouquet by A Sculpted Leaf.

The beaches are free and belong to us all, but when it comes to your wedding ceremony, it’s imperative you get a permit. Of course you could not obtain a permit, just turn up on the day and hope for the best, but what if another bridal party turned up with a permit at the exact same time? Could end up a bit awkward, couldn’t it? Even worse, what if you turn up to say your oh so romantic vows in front of your nearest and dearest and it turns out there’s a surf carnival on?

The cost of a permit is $150.00, so it’s not going to put a huge dent in your wedding budget. The easiest way to do this is by visiting the Sunshine Coast Regional Council website and filling in an online application. You will then either receive a letter of approval or a phone call if there happens to be another event already booked on the date and time at your chosen location.

The styling, fashion, flowers and beauty were possibly even better than we had originally imagined. As we predicted, we ended up completely spoiled for choice with the images. Shane Shepherd Photography really outdid himself with this one, and we just couldn't fit all of his beautiful work in the magazine pages. Of course we couldn't keep them all to ourselves, that would be selfish. So today we are sharing some more of the images from the ceremony part of the photo shoot at Shelly Beach.

If you have not yet happened upon our lovely first edition of our completely free online magazine, you really should take a peek! There are four gorgeous real Sunshine Coast weddings as well as two beautiful styled shoots, all achieved locally.
