Autumnal Wedding at The Barn

Sally Townsend — Tue, 11 Feb 2020 17:02:09 +0000

Who doesn’t want to be in their own little love bubble on their wedding day? Being spirited away to The Barn, a secluded parcel in the Noosa Hinterland is absolute heaven for those wanting to relish in feeling a world away as they say their I Do’s.

The creative crew involved in this shoot were wanting to inspire all your Autumnal wedding dreams.

Kristy Aitken from Maple Weddings & Events did what she does best, planning the whole thing. She sais, “Our aim was to showcase the venue with a nice moody Autumn feels wedding. With Autumn not too far away we hope there is some inspo in these snaps to help you on your planning and styling journey.”

The crew congregated in the countryside setting and together created a stunning Autumnal wedding, which was lovingly captured by Life and Love Photography

Bridal Beauty

Rolling Scissors crafted a relaxed hair style, weaving a floral design into a braid, while Makeup Artistry by Lauren applied a flawless natural glam makeup.

Ceremony

Spectacular in its natural beauty, the location needs little dressing up to achieve the wow factor – though it does require a very tall ladder.

Phillipa Holness Marriage Celebrant says working with a real life couple for a photo shoot is a special experience. “Photo shoots are amazing as you collaborate with those A-List suppliers who you often work on the same wedding with – but may not get so see in person on the day – sharing ideas and having time to see them in action.

“This shoot was especially memorable as our models, Tanisha and Ryan, are a real couple in love, so the feelings between them were palpable and reflected genuinely as they said their wedding vows to each other.

“Weddings are my opportunity to help make a ‘once in a lifetime’ day for a couple, a magical and memorable experience.”

Floral Design

Poppy Lane Flowers By Design‘s bouquet is the stuff boho florals are made of with this unstructured, abundant design incorporating various foliage, sizes and textures in the chosen blooms.

Unique Bar Service

There’s something really cool about being able to hand-select your catering services for your wedding day. Not only do you get to work with the caterers to select food and beverage menus specific to your preferences, but if you go with the likes of The Vintage Bondwood Bar, you get a really gorgeous addition to your wedding day styling.

The Vintage Bondwood Bar bring their caravan to your wedding, allowing you to set up exactly where you want, serve exactly what you want, and enjoy having a drink outdoors with your guests. Plus it just looks super cool, amiright?

Say cheese!

…or don’t, because there’s nothing cheesy about this photo booth! Guests of all kinds can join in the iShoot Photobooth fun. We’ve been lucky enough to experience a couple of different iShoot Photobooths set ups, and while there is tons of choice in style – like incorporating a very classy fresh floral design by Poppy Lane Flowers By Design – one thing remains the same; the flattering lighting and quality images!

Megan and Leroy’s Surprise Wedding

Sally Townsend — Mon, 09 Nov 2015 02:55:57 +0000

Megan and Leroy didn’t plan their wedding. Not one little part of it. They left it all in the hands of their trusted friend, Georgie, who after witnessing a conversation, where the couple decided they were fed up with all the decision-making just wanted to be married already, offered to do all the planning for them!

The couple gave Georgie their budget, a date, and a guest list to work with and walked away. Georgie then planned every last detail, and on the day, the couple didn’t even know where their wedding would be held!

The surprise location was the Apollonian Hotel at Boreen Point, and Katja Anton was the photographer intrusted with the task of capturing all the joyous moments of the day.

“(We were engaged) about four years… first we wanted to get married in New Zealand, then Bali; it was a big wedding, then a small wedding, then it was all too hard and we decided on nothing! One day out at a friend’s house, Leory just said that he was fed up of this whole wedding decision making all he wanted to do was to call me his wife… a good friend, Georgie, said she’d organise it, all we had to do was turn up! What started as a joke became the wedding of the year!”

“Dancing down the isle with the bridal party was awesome. We used to do jazz-ballet growing up together and choreographed something the night before – the groomsmen were all dancing too!” “The girls started (planning) in February and the wedding was in September – I wanted lots of colour and fun!”

Noosa Hinterland B&B Wedding

admin — Wed, 30 May 2012 10:00:00 +0000

If you want to see a wedding with details, boy have I got a treat for you! The gorgeous wedding of Sam and Rick was nothing if not carefully planned down to the last tea light candle.

When planning their wedding, Sam and Rick thought back to the night they met at the Ivy Bar in Sydney. This chance meeting resulting in their union as husband and wife deserved to be paid homage, plus it was just a really cool theme idea, so the pair recreated their own Ivy Bar right here on the Sunshine Coast! Their 100 guests gathered at Noosa hinterland bed and breakfast, Alaya Verde, for a gorgeous blue and green-themed wedding. Talk about an incredible wedding venue!

The meaningful wedding included plenty of DIY, and a beautiful ceremony of passing the rings between the guests to bless them as a collective prior to the exchange between the couple. We’re really excited to be sharing with you the following stunning images by Katja Anton Photography. Enjoy!

“I made the bridesmaids’ bouquets from succulents sourced mainly from my Mother and Aunty's gardens. I also was lucky enough to raid my Aunty's garden for loads of ivy and lillies to decorate the venue.”

“Both of my parents walked me down the aisle. My stepfather was also involved and presented us with our rings – after they had been blessed by all of the guests. They were passed around during the early stages of the ceremony.”

"Our MC and dear friend, Alan, prepared a video of the latter part of the evening and then suprised us with it a few days later. It was unexpected and turned out to be an excellent momento of the night. It was also extremely funny capturing guests after the champagne and drinks have been flowing freely for a number of hours!"

Words of wisdom from the bride

“Trust your suppliers to do what they do best and that frees you up to concentrate on having a good time with your guests. Nothing will always go entirely as planned, but you just need to roll with it and not get stressed out.”
