It has been a very busy week for The Bride's Tree team, and a very inspiring week here on our daily blog. Just in case you missed anything, here is a recap of the week that was… Holy guacamole! The most incredible wedding styling was achieved by the incredible Splash Events for our styled shoot in the latest issue of The Bride's Tree free online bridal magazine. On Monday we shared all the beautiful pics we couldn't fit in the pages of the mag, that show off all the details from our Mexican wedding styled shoot. Tuesday was all about the…

When you're presented with your wedding photographs from your amazing Sunshine Coast wedding photographer after the big day, don't you want them to be presented beautifully? Tanya from Chesterton Smith Photography makes sure her clients end up with the most beautiful memories from their wedding day, because she designs albums that are just like magical story books.  Take a peek at this example layout from a recent Sunshine Coast wedding the incredible Tanya photographed. The story of this couple's wedding day is so beautifully portrayed in this album. We love the way we are taken on a journey from start…

Today's bee-yoo-ti-ful Photo of the Week is by one of our all-time fave Sunshine Coast wedding photographers, Tanya, from Chesterton Smith Photography. We absolutely adore the quality of images Tanya produces and the stories her pretty pictures tell.  This one today speaks for itself, but as Tanya says, "There is nothing better than a good kiss on the beach with your beloved." We couldn't agree more! 

Of course you could do the standard hands on one another hips (or dare I say it… butts!) and sway, but then again this isn't actually a Blue Light Disco. Your first dance as a married couple is actually quite sacred, and we think it's really a beautiful touch to a wedding when a bit of effort is put into it.  Whether you're going to go all out or simply do the old sway, you should have a firm plan in place that's you're comfortable with. So which first dance is right for you? The high-energy foxtrot? What about the…

It was a lovely chapel wedding, which proved that rrain on your wedding day…

  These days, weddings follow less of the old traditions, in favour of couples paving their own way. Family circumstances and finances are taken into account, and there are no hard and fast rules as to who pays. Today we are sharing with you first the traditional ways of the past, as well as what is typical of today in relation to who foots the bill for weddings. At the end of the day, everyone's circumstances are different, but this is an interesting look at how things would transpire in times gone by.  Gorgeous images by Sunshine Coast wedding photographer,…

Sunshine Coast brides love flawless, radiant skin on their wedding day. I would have to agree that Angela here got just that for her wedding day, thanks to Sunshine Coast wedding Makeup Artist, Allure Hair and Beauty Spa. Angela has some seriously stunning baby blues, so this pretty makeup design places a little emphasis on the eyes, complimented by softly blushing cheeks and a nude pallette. Perfect for a Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding at Maleny Manor. Photo by Chesterton Smith Photography.

You know something that rarely gets much attention at weddings? A really nice button hole (or boutonniere if you’re fancy.) We love a good button hole at The Bride’s Tree. It’s a sweet little detail you can be quite creative with if you put your mind to it. I mean, really, if you’re a Sunshine Coast bride and you’re trying to tell me you don’t need another wedding detail to agonise over, you’re lying! Face it, you’re a bride! There are never enough agonising wedding decisions to go around! We found some lovely button holes to share with you today,…
