Melissa and Ricky first met at a Christmas party in London… then again at Glastonbury Festival six months later… then 12 months after the festival they actually started dating. Talk about a courtship! Despite this, they say one of the things that makes them work as a couple is that they are both spontaneous (who’d have thunk it!), and that they both love live music and travel. They certainly have a special relationship, and their strong love was clear to all on their Maleny wedding day. Both their ceremony and reception were held at  House of Laurels, which is not…

I would walk a mile in anyone's shoes that looked like some of these little beauties. These are hands down my new fave thing for Sunshine Coast weddings. What a beautiful commemoration of your wedding day! Not only are the designs of all of these shoes incredibly beautiful, I just love the special content – the first date memories, the coordinates of where the wedding will occur, or, like this first pair, a likeness of the iconic wedding venue for one Sunshine Coast bride, who was fortunate enough to enjoy a beautiful wedding day at award-winning hinterland wedding venue. Maleny…

Kristen and Cameron Fox, who live on the north side of Brisbane, wanted to choose a place to be married that wasn’t too far for either their Brisbane-based family and friends, and also their Gympie-based family. A fair compromise and beautiful choice was to have a Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding.  When choosing a venue, they wanted to have everything in one place, so their guests could enjoy the day without travelling between the ceremony and reception. And so they chose to hold their wedding in the gorgeous tropical rainforest gardens of Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding venue, The Beerwah Hideaway. When…

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.
