Emma shares her wedding planning story and why they chose a hinterland chapel wedding for their special day… 

Our Venue

“The views at Weddings at Tiffany’s  were the main reason we chose the Sunshine Coast and in particular the hinterland region. We wanted a wedding that had an amazing location and venue and Tiffany’s fit this to a tee.”

Biggest Wedding Planning Challenge 

“Drew and I both spend a lot of the year overseas so this was a challenge in ensuring we did as much planning as possible while at home. Luckily the internet is a great tool and we were able to order certain things online even when we weren’t at home.” 

Our Suppliers

“We were very happy with all our suppliers and looking back on our wedding day there was nothing that we would change. Every person we had involved in our day made us feel special and created everything just as we had planned.”

Why I Married Him

“We are best friends and complement each other in every aspect of our lives. Even though we are opposites this makes our relationship even better and helps us each become a better person.” 

Advice for Future Brides and Grooms

“Do what you and your to be husband want, don’t worry about others. It is your special day so it should be the way you want it to be.”

Ellishea and Dylan began and finished their wedding day at the seaside, and in-between their stunning ceremony was held at The Chapel Montville. When they returned to Maroochydore, their photographer fromRaconteur Photography took them to Cotton Tree for their photo shoot in perfect afternoon light.

The evening was spent with their 68 guests at White Ivy Lounge, mingling in the waterfront venue and eating delicious food and cake. 

Wedding Day Vision

“Our biggest priority was keeping focused on what it was that we wanted. How did we want to remember the day? What did we want it to look like in our memories, pictures and video? It was so easy to get persuaded by what others might want to you to do, but keeping grounded and communicating with each other was so important. Once we had that everything flowed.”

Love at First Date

“I knew after our first date we would have a long and happy life together. We connect on so many levels, have fun together whatever it is we’re doing and we are best friends.”

Where Ellishea Found Her Sunshine Coast Wedding Vendors

“The Brides Tree, Easy Weddings, images from Pinterest, simple Googling of local suppliers, walking around area’s on foot that we knew we liked (then Googling them!), Etsy, Facebook and Instagram.”

The Chapel 

“Early in our relationship we had lunch at Montville with Dylan’s grandparents. Dylan’s Nan made a joke that she would get us hitched at the chapel there. It was awkward and funny the time but it just felt so right to go and check it out once we were engaged.”

Standout Vendors

“Our photographer, Adam, from and videographer, Brittany, from were so amazing on the day and what they produced for us afterwards was better than we could have imagined. They captured all the right moments in the best way, were professional, easygoing”

The easiest way to take the stress out of planning for their wedding day was to remove any concern about weather. Let’s face it, Queensland wedding can be unpredictable. Although we have 260-odd sunny days each year, planning for the possibility of hitting one of the others is a must. Hinterland wedding venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s is, as Abbie put it, “weather proof”. 

Choosing Tiffany’s for their hinterland chapel wedding was a no-brainer. The chapel and dining room complete with covered deck provide ultimate protection, yet in the happy event of a sunny day there is plenty of pretty outside space with just the kind of view one drives up the range for. 

Fortunately for Abbie and Ryan, the day was full of clear skies. Read all about the day, as Abbie shares her memories and some awesome advice for future brides… 

Emotional Wedding Day Moment

“Seeing Ryan at the end of the aisle! It felt like every emotion we had felt together over the past six years came back. The heavy heart I felt when Ryan and I would go months without seeing each other was there, but then was lifted as it felt like it was the end of our long distance struggles. It felt like any pain I had ever experienced was worth it to make it to this day. All the amazing memories we had shared came flooding back. I just felt so lucky to have found my soul mate.”

The Venue

“Tiffanys was the only venue Ryan and I looked at. We booked it the day that we first walked through it. Everything was five class. The views are absolutely breath taking, the service was phenomenal, almost everything was included in our package, the food was delicious. The compliments are endless. I never felt stressed. From the moment we booked to the day of, the hardest decision was picking which meals we wanted! Although the weather was perfect and sunny, it was great not having to worry about rain because everything is weather proof!”

Finding Suppliers 

“Tiffanys gave us their recommendations on their preferred suppliers which was extremely helpful. Stalking the Sunshine Coast Brides Tribe on Facebook daily also gave me a lot of inspiration!” 

Getting Ready at Home 

“My bridesmaids and my mum. I chose to get ready at our home as it means so much to Ryan and I as we have spent a long time renovating it. Seeing it look so beautiful in our photos made us so proud.”

The Decision to Marry 

“We always knew that we were going to be together forever.We are both good at different things which keeps us quite balanced. He makes me laugh until my tummy hurts every single day. I guess I never really knew a life without him.” 

Local Wedding 

“It was so easy because most of our guests live on the coast. But we just love the diversity of it. Between the incredible beaches and stunning hinterland. It really has the best of both worlds.”

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: Flowers! We wanted a simple but elegant wedding. We kept decorations to a minimum to allow the flowers to have the attention they deserved. Just about every inch of Tiffanys was coated in beautiful flowers. Well worth the extra money!

Best bargain: Suits Direct for the boys ties and pocket squares. They were all custom made and each tie worked out about $12 each!

Unforgettable Memory

“Dancing at the reception with all of our favourite people. I had not a care in the world. It was the perfect way to celebrate what had been our dream day and the start of our marriage.” 

The Proposal

“We were walking along the Brooklyn Bridge towards Manhattan while on our winter holiday in the States. Ryan asked a fellow tourist to take a photo of us with the skyline behind us. He then started talking about how much he loved me and proceeded onto one knee. Oh so romantic!”

Advice for Future Brides

“Definitely invest in a videographer! Before the wedding everyone kept saying to soak up and enjoy every minute of the day. Realistically this is impossible! The whole day just felt like a blur and there was so much I didn’t remember because it all felt so overwhelming! Watching our video back felt like we got to relive our day again. I love that we will be able to show it to our future kiddies and celebrate every anniversary with champagne and watching our wedding movie (53 minutes)!”

The Next Adventure

“We want to continue to travel the world together. Live lightly and not take anything too seriously. We are so happy with where we are at now. As cliche as it is, I feel like all my dreams have come true! “

Rustic tones with pops of blue and teal and soft green foliage makes for a unique Autumn wedding colour palette. Against the fresh white and cream interiors of Maleny wedding venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s.

Weddings at Tiffany’s  Wedding Coordinator, Lara, says this was a colour palette never before seen at the venue, “We are always trying to create something to inspire our brides and showcase our venue in a new light. This is how we created this Autumn inspired art piece.” 

It’s a modern wedding theme where classic meets boho style. The crew utilised the outdoor garden space by erecting a yurt to create a comfy space with both classic cream furniture and rustic elements, such as old wine barrels, which tied in with the deep stained wood used throughout the venue in both the chapel and dining room. As a centrepiece, the yurt was dressed with a floral installation acting as a chandelier-like structure and carrying the floral styling throughout. 

Tiffany’s Flowers designed eye-catching arrangements of magnolia leaf, orange roses, stephanotis and throwing in a splash of colour with thistle and blue delphinium.

Thoughtful touches of blue were carried throughout the styling by  Simply Style Co. and into the reception tablescape with rich blue napkins laid under warm copper calligraphy stationery.

After meeting on a night out with friends, Corey wasted no time in asking around for Chanel’s phone number. He made the call that changed his life the very next day, and the pair have never been apart since. 

The self-confessed “big kids” planned their Maleny chapel wedding at the Sunshine Coast Hinterland wedding venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s where uninterrupted views of the Glass House Mountains are a huge draw card. They said their vows in the onsite chapel, then headed to some iconic spots in Maleny for their bridal party photo shoot. 

When they returned to their 60 guests at Tiffany’s, they enjoyed sit-down fine dining, live music, and a cake as beautiful as it was delicious, made by Chocolate2Chilli. 

The night was punctuated with fireworks in front of the flower-adorned chapel in spectacular fashion! 

Bride, Chanel, has shared some of her memories from the day and the Sunshine Coast wedding planning process. 

Dress Shopping

“Dress shopping was fun. I invited my mum, Nan, mother-in-law-to-be and my aunty. The women who mean most to me. If I went for any meetings for planning I always had my mum and dad there too.”

The Music

“We hired The Paper Flowers to play at the wedding and they did such an amazing job. Great variety of music and their voices sounded beautiful.”

The Best Part

“That I got to marry my best friend! I know many people say that they have found their soul mate but I truly have. My life would never be the same without Corey.”

Family Ties

“Due to being in a split family I wanted to ensure that my step father was involved in walking me down the isle. I had him meet me half way down the isle to be there is giving me away from both of my dad’s. My mum also read a reading in the ceremony.”

Advice to Future Brides

“Don’t stress over the small stuff. If anything doesn’t go to plan or isn’t 100% right, don’t worry. No one else will know that it isn’t right. Also you and your husband should take five minutes and enjoy the moment. Look at everyone around you and take it in. They’re not lying when people tell you it will be over in a blink of any eye!”

Photography by  White Images 

“We had two attendants each. I had my sister, Rhyannon, and my sister-in-law, Hayley. Corey had his best friend, Blake, and his older brother, Luke.”

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: I don’t feel that we splurged in any way as everything was reasonably priced. I guess we picked the most expensive package for food and drinks at our venue but it was worth every penny. 

Biggest bargain: My niece’s dress. Corey and I were walking through the (Brisbane) Southbank markets one night and saw this beautiful white dress and knew that it was what we wanted for her. It only cost $40.

I think it’s pretty clear from the adorable picture above that Tamara and Tim had a picture-perfect Sunshine Coast wedding day. By the bride’s own admission, the worst thing that happened was a coffee plunger broke the day before the big day – I’d call that a success worthy of unbridled flower girl admiration, wouldn’t you? 

Tamara says her biggest priority when planning her wedding to now-husband, Tim, was to have a beautiful and relaxed day that was affordable. Her bridesmaid discovered Sunshine Coast chapel, AnnaBella the Wedding Chapel, which she described as irresistible, and so their ceremony planning began to take shape. 

Following the chapel wedding ceremony, the couple and their 80 guests travelled a short distance to Buderim Tavern, where their reception had been decked out with delicate greenery and white flowers, and macrame details. 

Lara and Susie Photography were there to to capture every memorable moment of Tim and Tam’s Buderim and Sunshine Coast chapel wedding. 

  “We tried to include as many of our friends and family in the planning process as possible.  Much of our family were overseas or interstate so this was often via email.  I had to FaceTime my mum in New Zealand when I was trying dresses on to get her vote!”   “After hearing a few wedding horror stories I expected to have one or two to tell myself.  However our day went off without a hitch.  The worse was a broken coffee plunger the day before! I count ourselves pretty lucky.”   “The main thing that makes us work together as a couple I would say would be shared morals and values. We have great respect for each other and we laugh!”    “When we started planning, we didn’t really have any set ideas. My bridesmaid discovered Annabella Chapel which I couldn’t resist.  I used Pinterest as inspiration for the reception.”   “Tim and I met at a spin class at Suncoast Fitness Maroochydore. We got engaged after six months dating. Very early on in our relationship we knew each other was ‘the one’ and couldn’t wait to get married.”   “We had a spectacular winters day to impress the kiwi guests.  The chapel and tavern were still wonderful when we visited them when the weather wasn’t too wonderful a few weekends prior.”

 “

  “The very best thing about our wedding day was marrying my soul mate of course.  Doesn’t get much better than that. We didn’t really do the gift thing. I put together a slide show with photos from all our special moments for Tim.  We show each other we care about each other everyday. The material stuff doesn’t matter as much. “   “We felt really relaxed on the day.  Our day exceeded our expectations. We were humbled by family and friends who had travelled to celebrate with us.  I felt so lucky to be surrounded by so much love.”   “We really wanted to create a super relaxed wedding vibe.  We also wanted to avoid debt from wedding costs. We saved what we needed and stuck to what we could afford.”

Wedding Secrets

  “We put together our own little gifts bags for guests.  We stamped hearts on the front of brown paper bags which contained a thank you note, an individually wrapped TimTam and a Berocca for the next morning.”
