Larissa loves Anthony | Yandina Marquee Wedding

Sally Townsend — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 20:49:00 +0000

Larissa and Anthony consider themselves very fortunate to call the Sunshine Coast home, and so going local was an easy choice. For their Yandina marquee wedding, they wanted their 132 guests to feast family style at long tables under a clear marquee with the stars twinkling above. The Rocks Yandina provided the perfect secluded spot for such a celebration.

Take a peek at their special day, which in my opinion has the best music selections I’ve heard of in quite some time, and some carefully curated elements that achieve both an on-trend and simultaneously classic feel. Larissa was kind enough to share the details of her Yandina marquee wedding…

The Location

“We chose to get married on the Sunshine Coast as we are lucky enough to call it our home. We knew from the beginning that we wanted a glass roof marquee reception and long tables. The Rocks at Yandina was able to provide this for us and all with delicious food and a stunning back drop. From the first meeting John, Michelle, Anne and the team were so accomodating and welcomed all of our ideas.”

Getting Ready

“On the morning of our wedding, I was surrounded by my lovely Mum, sister and seven of my closest friends.”

Stand-out Vendors

“Our standout suppliers were definitely The Rocks Yandina,Images by Luke Middlemiss Photography and Nat from Heavenly Blooms. They knew what we wanted even when we didn’t and helped us to seamlessly organise our day from beginning to end. I mostly found my suppliers on The Bride’s Tree, Sunshine Coast Brides’ Tribe and social media.”

Most Emotional Moment

“We both agree that the most emotional part of the day was meeting each other at the end of the aisle. We held each others hands so tight, it all felt so surreal. We were finally there are about to be married.”

Surprise Performance

“I will never forget when Anthony got up with the band, played the guitar and sang Ho Hey by the Lumineers to me. The most amazing moment! I was in awe of his talent!”

The Music

“We were lucky enough to have the Siena Catholic College String Quartet play at our ceremony and before our reception. I walked down the aisle to their version of Ben Folds Five – The Luckiest, it was beautiful. At the end of the ceremony we walked back up the aisle to Nat Cole – This Will Be (An Everlasting Love), and our first dance was a version of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling In Love played by our band The Easy Tigers.”

Check out this playlist of Aisle Recession songs I’ve compiled from those used in actual real weddings, as well as some of my own suggestions…

The Man

“Anthony is the most wonderful, kindhearted and generous man I have ever met. The only thing bigger than his heart is his smile.”

Hardest decision

“To decide if we should have a videographer. We deliberated over it for months and then when I was at my first appointment at Bertossi Brides, Joe’s (Joseph Bertossi) card was perfectly positioned on the shelf and the decision was made.”

Terryn loves Robert | Noosa Wedding

Sally Townsend — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 05:42:44 +0000

Terryn and Robert were holidaying in the Phillipines when he popped the question. Terryn says her answer came easily, because of Robert’s selflessness and ability to make her a better version of herself.

Putting on her dress with her mum and sisters as helpers was the first big emotionally charged moment of the day on her Noosa wedding day. Walking down the aisle, seeing her now husband’s face full of love and anticipation was another stand-out moment.

Looking back, the couple wouldn’t change a single thing and agree they picked the best location for their wedding ceremony and reception. Their ceremony was held at Noosa’s Sunseeker Lodge, and then their 65 guests joined them for the reception at Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort.

Backyard Engagement Dinner | Sunshine Coast Mediterranean Catering

Sally Townsend — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 02:01:59 +0000

Here lies a feast of literal proportions, as well as one to satisfy visually. The colourful Mediterranean-ispired spread by Journey Street Food was designed for an engagement celebration. A celebratory colour palette was enhanced with flowers by Heavenly Blooms and a relaxed backyard setting, transformed for the twilight feast.

Journey Street Food prepared a veritable feast of Spinach and Feta Boreks (flaky filo pastry fingers filled with spinach, feta and fresh herbs), Chermoula Prawns, Crispy Calamari, Stuffed Turkish Peppers, flat breads, Turkish rice and colourful fresh salads. These delish dishes and more are all available from their Mediterranean catering menu.

Emily loves Andrew | Tipi Wedding on the Sunshine Coast

Sally Townsend — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 09:07:41 +0000

Under a tipi on the green at Novotel Twin Waters Resort, Brisbane couple Emily and Andrew celebrated their wedding with an intimate wedding for just 25 of their closest family and friends, including their three children.

Emily says the love of her life, Andrew, is the most supportive partner a girl could ask for. He’s the best daddy to the couple’s three little munchkins, and a really great surprise proposer…

The Proposal

“Andrew and I had been together for nine years. I actually wasn’t sure we would get married – him proposing at all was a big surprise! He proposed a few days before my 30th birthday with our 10 month old daughters help. It was a very emotional, super sweet moment.”

Wedding Vendor Goals

“Honestly we could not have asked for more from every single supplier! They were all amazing to deal with and went above and beyond what I expected! We had not met our photographer Bonnie prior to our wedding but it was like we had known her forever, she made two people who are very awkward in front of the camera feel so comfortable and Nat from Heavenly Blooms produced such stunning work with very little guidance from me. I showed her what we were all wearing and she just did her thing. I was also very worried about my makeup as I don’t wear any normally but Louise really listened and I was so happy with the result. I could honestly go on and on about all of our suppliers.”

Finding Our Vendors

“I used recommendations from The Bride’s Tree and Sunshine Coast wedding Facebook pages.”

Live Music

“We had live music the whole day. Johanna and Jayden did beautiful renditions of ‘Passenger‘ and Kate Miller Heidke’s ‘The One You Love’ for our aisle song and Baaba Maal and Mumford and Sons’ ‘There Will Be Time’ for right after the ceremony.”

The One Thing I’d Change

“The only thing I would change is that I would hire a videographer. Planning the wedding we didn’t think we needed one, but looking back now I would love that video reminder of the day as it truly goes by so quickly.”

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: The flowers. At the beginning I was not even going to have any floral arrangements but then I saw Nat at Heavenly Blooms‘ work and had to have everything!

Best money-saver: Having an intimate wedding with immediate family and a few friends only.

Bride’s dress: Grace Loves Lace

Bride’s and bridesmaid’s earrings: Samantha Wills

Bride’s and bridesmaid’s shoes: Tony Bianco

Bridesmaid’s attire: Skirt from ASOS, top from Forever New

Groom’s and groomsman’s attire: Slacks from Myer, Shirt from Roger David, Shoes from Julius Marlow

Flowergirls’ dresses: Eldest daughter wears Arabella and Rose, younger daughter wears Tea Princess

Paige Boy’s attire: Industrie Kids

Number of guests: 25

Wedding budget: $20,000

Actual cost of wedding: $24,000

Honeymoon: Planning a trip for our first anniversary.

Our Next Adventure…

“Saving for our honeymoon and our forever home for our little family.”

Stacey loves Tore | Pop-up Noosa Tipi Wedding

Sally Townsend — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 03:47:21 +0000

Sydney couple Stacey and Tore invited family and friends from Australia and the UK to join them for a destination wedding in Noosa.

After their ceremony at Hidden Grove in Noosa, they took they and their 80 guests retired to the Noosa Rugby club where the couple had pulled together an epic pop up wedding complete with three tipis and multiple food vans.

How to Create a Pop-up Wedding

Creating the whole day was a DIY project, one big ‘Pop Up’ wedding on an empty piece of National Park and a reception on an open field. We brought everything in (excluding the bathroom amenities thankfully) making the whole event personalised with our favourite things from food and drinks to table settings. We created a dessert and tea station (I’m English) and also a rum, whisky and cigar bar to get the party started after the speeches.

My maid of honour (mostly) and I searched every market, vintage and op shop for all of the beautiful trinkets, decanters and tea cups; it was a labour of love. I also collected vintage plates for months and finally found enough to create individual place settings, paired with white linen napkins and a polaroid picture of each guest (the more embarrassing the photo the better!)

Our Biggest Challenge

“Tore and I lived apart for professional reasons 12 months prior to the wedding. I was planning the wedding in a town with no partner, friends or family. We both threw ourselves into our careers and would see each other once a month or twice at most, when saw each other we would be planning the wedding mostly! It was really hard but made us stronger for it.”

The Proposal

“I had just returned from a three week trip back home to the UK. Tore picked me up from the airport and told me he had organised a surprise, three days off work for a mini getaway in Noosa. Heaven! I thought, “wow he must’ve really missed me!”

“Tore had booked an apartment at Noosa Blu Resort with a rooftop spa. We spent the day doing all the things we love in Noosa, and then returned to the apartment to enjoy sunset drinks and a cheese platter. We were about to jump into the spa when Tore asked me to go downstairs and grab the bottle opener as ‘he had forgotten’ it.

“I came back up the stairs and Tore was on one knee with a ‘Hello Kitty’ ring and popped the question. I nearly fell down the stairs as it was unexpected, but I squealed with delight and eventually said yes. Tore proposed with a phony ring so we could design my engagement ring together.”

“Tasleema Nigh Makeup Artist did the most beautiful make up, one of bridesmaids said she wished Tasleema had done her wedding make up!”

“”The Anna Campbell store in Melbourne made my dress experience so special after so many other disappointing attempts (Jordan, you’re the best!)”

“Tore is the life and soul of everything he does, he is known for his quick wit and sense of humour, which is what I love most about him. He doesn’t sweat the small stuff, and he keeps me grounded. Tore is so kind, genuine and just understands me and my crazy ways.”

The Music

“We had our friends perform Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” acoustically for walking down the aisle. They also performed Zac Brown Band’s ‘Whatever It Is’ for signing and then ‘Home’ by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros for our first dance.”

The Location

“We met on the Sunshine Coast, lived there together for two years, got engaged there and it just feels like home. It’s where we wanted to share our day with our family and friends, so they could see why we loved this place so much.”

Uniquely Ours

“Our biggest priority for our wedding was making it unique to anything we had experienced at a wedding before and to represent all the things we love. By making it a pop up wedding, we could pick and choose everything from food vendors and alcohol to furniture, and not be restricted by the same rules restaurants and venues have.”

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: The tipis, we could have saved some cash with just two but having three gave us room to have a dance floor and the band inside. Instead of more traditional marquees the tipis were unique and made the whole venue look like a really special wedding location as opposed to a rugby field!

Also, my wedding dress – three times my original budget but it was ‘the one’ and I don’t regret a single cent.

Best bargain: Having the reception at Tore’s old rugby ground. Affordable rent and we knew the staff. Our vendors helped bring our vision to life with a bit of creative placement and thinking so you never knew you were at a rugby club.

Hair piece: Anna Campbell

Shoes: Diana Ferrari

Veil and earrings: borrowed

Bridesmaids’ dresses: I gave the girls free reign to pick their own dresses, they were all from different stores.

Groom’s attire: Peter Jackson

Groomsmen’s attire: Roger David

Flowergirl’s dress: Monsoon

Number of guests: 80

Wedding budget: $25,000

Actual cost of wedding: $47,000

“Ashlea from The Vintage Bondwood Bar has the most beautiful caravan bar! She spoke with me for over an hour talking through the set up and helped me get my head around the run sheet for the day, plus Ash and her lovely mum whipped up the best sangria (without any guidance from us) as our welcome drinks, I knew she could just run with anything we asked and she personalised the whole van, it was stunning.”

“We found our suppliers on The Bride’s Tree, Instagram, Pinterest, Etsy, bridal expos, Eumundi markets and recommendations from colleagues and friends.”

Styled Shoot | A Forgotten Forest

Sally Townsend — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 03:05:56 +0000

Drawing inspiration from the natural surroundings, a creative team of local Sunshine Coast wedding vendors we are in complete awe of dreamt up this Forgotten Forest wedding inspiration shoot.

Sunshine Coast Florist, Nat Evans, of Heavenly Blooms, Photographer Bonnie Jenkins and styling duo Boho Sisters formed a team drawn to the same aesthetics and work efforts with a sense of adventure in wedding style creativity. The team set out to create something truly unique, amplifying the beauty of nature in an abundance of lush green forestry.

Bonnie says, “We wanted this boho luxe shoot to celebrate both nature and the fun of a brides squad. Seeing all of our different elements and vision come together was a buzz.”

Taking earthy textures and tones, with a nod to the changing of seasons, the team infused a touch of decadence in draping wild bouquets and a circular arbour, adding pops of colour and bringing more life to uplift the forest floor, littered with browning leaves.

Thank you for supporting our A-list Vendors, who collaborated to make this shoot so incredible…

Meet Nat Evans | Sunshine Coast Wedding Florist

Sally Townsend — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 12:08:44 +0000

Here at The Bride’s Tree HQ there is zero chance we could conjure up any more love for Sunshine Coast wedding florist, Nat Evans, business owner and florist at Heavenly Blooms. We already love her to the brim.

We caught up with Nat to get the goss on being flown to New York City to create wedding flowers, how her brides become like family, and the way her flowers are spreading hope and loveliness across the Sunshine Coast to those who need it most.

Nat, tell us about how you repurpose flowers from weddings where the couple don’t have any further use for them.

I have started recently repurposing wedding from my brides and grooms. These are often couples from interstate or those going directly on their honeymoons so they can’t keep their wedding flowers, or maybe they have a cause close to heart. In these cases I will take their flowers to others to appreciate them.

I was inspired by Repeat Roses, an organisation in the U.S. doing this on a huge scale. It means that charities, hospitals, nursing homes receive fresh flowers and they are enjoyed for weeks after the wedding. It’s so lovely and beautiful.

Who are the people that receive the flowers?

I have developed partnerships with a few local businesses, such as Meals on Wheels, nursing homes, care facilities for people with mental illnesses; and it’s proven to be really effective. The flowers are even used in therapy sessions.

I am now about to launch a program for troubled teens with an organisation teaching them life skills. I’m going to be teaching them to arrange a bunch of flowers to brighten up their home.

What are their reactions like when they see you coming in with your beautiful flowers?

It makes people cry mostly – that’s one of the most common reactions. Happy tears. It always makes me cry, I get quite emotional. You can’t even imagine how it makes people feel, it really brightens their day and affects them so much.

Have you found brides are really responsive to this concept?

Yes, very much so. I would say probably 80% of my brides are taking me up on the offer. Brides even seem to be quite clued up with repurposing their flowers from ceremony to reception, which I was quite surprised by. They are then really happy for them to be repurposed a third time.

Have any of them wanted to be involved in the process themselves?

Yes. I had one bride whose sister had suicided. She came and helped me rearrange the flowers and came to the hospital with me the day after her wedding to hand them over to the mental health ward. She said it was one of the best parts of her wedding.

Couples are excited to be part of it. They tend to want to have large say in where their flowers go. Last weekend’s bride took all her flowers on to her grandfather’s grave.

For me it’s really great to see them after and hear all about the best parts of their wedding day. As a florist, you don’t usually get to talk to them so soon after the wedding, so it was really nice.

Why do you think flowers touch people’s hearts so much?

I just think everybody has a flower than invoke’s a memory, especially in nursing homes. The older generation really understand the importance of flowers in the home and have a close connection with flowers as women.

The women in the nursing homes will tell you about their flower memories – it’s a sensory thing, a particular flower makes them think about a specific time in their life.

My grandmother always picked flowers for her table. We’d come in for lunch and there Something from garden to make the house look nice.

That isn’t so common anymore. We lost along the way, but it’s coming back through in the younger generation again now. Fresh flowers bring life to a home, they are so homely, and lots of younger women are getting into this with wild bunches of flowers now, having them in their homes.

Fresh flowers are so important. They make people feel hopeful and happy; flowers cheer people up.

Being around so many beautiful blooms in your shop in Eumundi must be a dream! What’s it like?

I feel really lucky I get to work with such beautiful things all day every day. There is not a day I don’t feel lucky to be a florist and I don’t take it for granted. I’m like a kid in a candy shop. I thought it might have subsided after 26 years, but it hasn’t. I’m lucky, really lucky.

What’s the best part of being involved in someone’s wedding day?

There’s lots of amazing parts. My first fave is meeting brides. I have to send emails, and I do it, but I love meeting my brides in person. I always spend way too long talking to them, getting to know them and being part of the excitement. I love feeling excited with them. I’m addicted to that feeling.

Second fave part is arriving on the day to the bride and being able to hand over the bouquet we spent so long dreaming up together. Pretty much every time we have a squeal and I have a tear. I always cry!

There’s not many jobs in the world where you get to be part of somoneone’s most important day. It’s pretty amazing. You tend to become part of the family and end up doing the sister or brother’s wedding as well. Then I get to see them again and meet the new baby or see pictures of the house they just bought. I love that.

What’s a memorable bride reaction to receiving the bouquet you can recall?

Oh, I have a great one. A couple of years ago I had a bride, who was just mad about flowers. She had been to every workshop I’d ever held. She calls me whenever she comes back to town and gets me to make her a flower crown just because.

So when I turned up on her wedding day after sending her a text that I was one my way. By the time I got there she was out on driveway, running to meet me at the van. She ripped open the door and jumped in to smell flowers. She was just squealing!

After the wedding she slept in the flower crown. She continued to wear it the following day and was sending me texts with her selfies wearing it on their road trip to their honeymoon! She even sent one on the plane!

What has been a surprising part of the job?

How much I love it. I always had a shop or have been working in flower shop. I also did a lot of corporate work. Normally I didn’t love doing wedding flowers when I was working in a shop. I started doing weddings purely by accident from working the markets and after a series of events.

10 years ago if you had told me I’d become a wedding florist I would have laughed. My idea of weddings was dealing with white rose bouquets and bridezillas, but I think we’ve been fortunate as the industry has taken a turn.

Now I get to work with an open-ended palette. Sometimes I’ll be working and I have to pinch myself when I’m arranging a chandelier dripping with flowers. There is so much scope for imagination in wedding florals now.

Tell us about how you ended up working on a wedding in New York?

It’s like a dream. I just landed in right place at right time. I met this crazy amazing girl, who had faith in my ability to hop on plane and make flowers in a place I hadn’t before.

We met through a friend at Christmas last year, and we got to talking and hit it off. After we met a second time at a dinner, she invited me to New York to do her wedding flowers.

The next day I text her saying, “Now that you don’t have four ciders under your belt, are you sure you want me to do your wedding flowers?” She replied saying, ” Yes, I’m dead serious. I love the way you make flowers, I haven’t seen anything like it.”

From there, it’s been so easy. We’ve had a few conversations, but she trusts me to create something amazing. It was funny, I put together a mood board, and she couldn’t believe it – the Pinterest board she already created was almost identical.

How are you going to approach creating flowers in a place you’ve never been to before?

It helps that the bride is really laid back, she’s hired a van to collect flowers from market and I will go straight from the plane to the flower market when I land. I’ll shop till I drop, take it all back to our apartment and start making flowers immediately. My son is coming along to be my assistant!

I buy what’s beautiful on the day. I don’t believe in pre-organised blooms down to every flower. Crazy to some, but I touch and choose most beautiful on the day.

This is the kind of thing that drives me. I love the element of the unknown. I live for this – bring it on, baby.
