It's been a big week for The Bride's Tree team. We have been hanging out in mansions in the Sunshine Coast hinterland with our $5000 Big Day Out with your Besties winners. Now we want to be their best friends, too! And we have been meeting hundreds of brides at the It's My Wedding Expo, where we revealed our new contemporary eclectic styling for our expo stand. Don't worry, lovely Sunshine Coast brides, we made sure we shared all of our behind-the-scenes and… Just in case you missed it…  Our week began with a vintage bridal look that had me…

Did you know we have some amazing printable planning tools right here on The Bride’s Tree for your printing and planning pleasure? Try saying that five times fast! I can tell you, it will be a lot trickier than utilising these super easy-to-use tools that will make putting certain parts of your Sunshine Coast wedding in order so much more simple than you could have imagined.  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.

For their upcoming wedding, Chloe and Joel commissioned Kerrie-anne Designs to custom design an invitation set that would lend itself to their dual theme. Rustic and nautical was the order of the day, so super clever and creative Kerrie-Anne set about creating this unique set, which includes the invitation itself, personalised name tags, map to the ceremony, and RSVP postcard. With her design, Kerrie-anne had a stamp made, which she applied to transparent paper and fixed it to balsa wood. We absolutely adore the attention to detail and care put into every one of Kerrie-anne’s designs.  Kerrie-anne Designs has both custom…

Justine and Simon enjoyed their special day exactly the way they wanted to. All of their guests enjoyed a breakfast together, after spending the night at the luxurious private estate of Spicers Clovelly. With complete privacy for their intimate wedding of just 10 guests, the bridal couple were free to enjoy a walk together after breakfast, which calmed them for the day they faced ahead. Meanwhile, guests swam in the pool and enjoyed a light lunch before frocking up for the onsite ceremony.  The stand outs for us at this wedding were Justine’s positively toothsome Manolo Blahnik blue heels a…

Trends, style and fun. That is how I would sum up our blogging week at The Bride's Tree. In other news, we were also fortunate enough to attend a networking event, chock-a-block full of amazing Sunshine Coast wedding professionals. It was really a night to let loose and have a bit of fun. We expected nothing less from larrikan organiser, DJ Lee Bevington.  It just goes to show how many beautiful weddings are successfully pulled off every single week on the Sunshine Coast. Our local wedding industry really is like a well-oiled machine! Take a look at some news coverage…

If this doesn’t brighten your day, nothing will. Just take a moment to “ahhh” with us over this picture-perfect scene. A beautiful newlywed couple, a stunningly gorgeous Sunshine Coast beach, and some really funky styling with a personalised freestanding doorway draped in vines. Ah.May.Zing.  If this was the only photograph you ended up with from your wedding day, I’m sure it would be enough. However knowing Greg Gardner Photography, this lucky couple would have had plenty of equally as gorgeous images and spoiled for choice as to which ones to display. Hmm… I feel the need to come up with…

I don’t know if it’s true that blondes have more fun, but one thing I know for sure (yes, full Oprah-style) is that we can all find plenty of enjoyment in today’s hair inspiration. Especially for you, lovely Sunshine Coast brides of the blonde persuasion, I have collated some of the prettiest bridal upstyles for fair-haired brides.  From the relaxed to the intricately structured, from the asymmetrical to the… well, the symmetrical, here are some fabulous styles fit for any kind of Sunshine Coast wedding, that you can draw plenty of inspiration from. Of course they have been created by…

Today’s Photo of the Week has been chosen for one simple reason. That it has many moustaches in it obviously. Oh no! Okay, there are a few more reasons… One is the moustaches, which are clearly awesome and a welcome edition to any formal occasion, especially a wedding. The next is that it is another example of a beautiful Sunshine Coast wedding day – who can deny we have simply the most stunningly gorgeous days to celebrate marital union? Of course we must make mention of the handsome crowd in this photo. And… yes, you guessed it, I don’t even…
