Well this is more than a little exciting. We have never seen anything like this inspirational styled bridal shoot, it is so very unique. A bunch of uber talented Sunshine Coast wedding professionals got together to create an Egyptian-inspired bridal shoot!  From the dress to the accessories and makeup by the talented Tasleema Nigh, it’s a glamourous Cleopatra-esque look we are loving like crazy. The bouquet by Ginger Lily & Rose Floral Studio screams opulence, as you would expect of an Egyptian goddess, with an oversized statement bloom and peacock feathers. Please feel free to drool over these images by Bonnie Jenkins, as we…

Cassie and Paul were living in Western Australia in the lead up to their Sunshine Coast wedding, so they enlisted the help of wedding planner, Emma McGee, from Wild Heart Weddings to plan their beautiful marquee wedding from top to bottom.  The couple had the benefit of the bride’s parents’ Diamond Valley property to utilise for their wedding day, with plenty of space to erect a marquee. I’m going to confess something. Until this wedding came into my hot little hands, I had never heard of Diamond Valley. A little investigating unturned that it is located out the back of Eudlo….

Amanda and Trev were highschool sweethearts, who fell truly, madly, deeply and hopelessly in love over exchange of sweet childish love letters. Those same love letters are the ones Trev bundled together in a vintage jewellery box for Amanda to open on her wedding day morning. How she turned up to her wedding ceremony without puffy eyes, we will never know!  //// This beautiful couple had a long engagement of four years before they finally tied the knot at gorgeous Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding venue, Flaxton Gardens. It was a perfect day, with their ceremony overlooking the gorgeous hinterland, which…

It was a destination wedding for Penny from Adelaide and Duane from Griffith. Friends and family flew in from their home towns, plus Sydney, Melbourne, New Zealand, and Florida, USA. The lovely couple had prioritised finding a waterfront location with beautiful views and great views, which they found in Ebb Waterfront Restaurant & Bar.  Penny went into full organise mode when planning her wedding, gaining inspiration from inspiration online blogs, like The Bride’s Tree! She also wanted to put all her trust and faith in the consumate professionals we have here on the Sunshine Coast. For example, one Karen Buckle…

Guest blog post by Carrie from A Darling Affair. Each month the ladies will showcase specialties from their “Darling” vendors. This months theme is: flowers! Flowers are one of our all time favourite things to do with getting married here at A Darling Affair. I was able to have a real sentimental attachment to my own bouquet as I made it myself and had foliage from my Grandmother’s garden in it. I used to dream about the day I would get married as a little girl and make little bouquets. That dream came true for me. I also had the opportunity to make…

Ooh, brides, do we have a treat for you today!
