Bronnie and Sam came up with a super cool concept and enlisted the help of their good friend, Benjamin Danville Photographic Artist, to take approximately 1.5 gazillion images of the cute couple frolicking at the beach. Ben then stayed up to all hours to stitch together the following awesome stop motion invitation piece, set to the uber cool “You Make My Dreams” by Hall and Oates. Clever!

Bronnie and Sam never imagined when they were introduced by a mutual friend at a coffee shop that three years later they would be getting married and planning their future family of no less than five children together. Well, if Bronnie gets her way! 

Marrying on the Sunshine Coast is a dream come true, they say, as they have always loved the open spaces and beautiful scenery it has to offer. Thanks for sharing your awesome wedding invitation with us, Bronnie and Sam! 

The post Awesome Stop Motion Wedding Invitation! appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

Ana didn’t have a specific theme in mind when planning her wedding, so she relied upon her stylist and florist to guide her in the right direction. The results are absolutely amazing, so it just goes to show that allowing seasoned professionals to do what they do best can really pay off! We absolutely adore the bright, happy, colourful wedding styling of the ceremony and reception with impressive baby’s breath centrepieces in tall vases. Blooms of Noosa are one of the most creative florists out there, and they really put together a breathtaking sight. 

Their reception was held at Rickys River Bar + Restaurant, a stunning, classy waterfront restaurant in Noosa, and the perfect location to celebrate through the night after a Noosa beach ceremony. The location itself is amazing, the food to-die-for, and the decor divine. 

Ana and Josh wanted to involve their beloved family and friends in their wedding ceremony as much as possible. Ana’s sister wrote a beautiful letter, their sister-in-law picked a beautiful poem to read at the ceremony and they included a Rings Warming Ceremony, whereby their rings were passed amongst the guests for good wishes. 

The absolutely incredible photos below are by one of the most talented photographers on the Sunshine Coast, Jennifer Oliphant Photography. We love her vibrant images, which have captured the emotions and special moments of the day so beautifully. 

Enjoy, and make sure you take a peek at the full list of amazing Sunshine Coast wedding professionals, who made this day happen for Ana and Josh.

“Josh got me the earrings that I wore, my friend who walked me down the aisle got me my bridal garter and my bridesmaids got me blue underwear! But the most special piece was the veil I wore, it was my husband’s mother’s, the one she wore on her wedding day 40 years ago!”

“Our little nephews were our page boys, we had our closest friends in our Bridal party and in my dad’s absence one of my best friends walks me down the aisle.”

“Our personalised vows which we kept secret from each other were a special moment of the day, it was incredibly emotional to share them and those words are going to be always in our minds. Before mine, I read Josh a Poem that I absolutely love! ‘I Carry Your Heart with Me’ – EE Cumings “

“We believe that to success in a relationship is more than finding the right person you need to be the right person, we listen to each other, we argue but we also resolve the problems we face, the differing cultures and backgrounds also makes everything interesting.“

Ana’s Advice for Future Brides

• Savour the moment; it goes so quick!!… When you are walking down the aisle take a deep breath and breath in the moment, the beauty of it, your family and friends warm faces when they see you, your husband to be… enjoy that moment, it’s a treasurable memory!
• People love having opinions and mostly they are doing it out of love but remember is your day, have it as you have always imagined it… people don’t have to love what you love.
• Your wedding is also important for your family; it’s worth it to accommodate some things for them, like a couple of extra invitations for example or seating plans.
• Make a list of shots that you would like to have, look at bridal blogs, magazines… any source of inspiration and have a list that you can give to your photographer.
• Be happy and grateful for the people that want to be part of your day; attending and even more being part of wedding party takes people’s time and it costs, people that accept your invitation really want to be there for you!
• Include make up to touch-up yours after the ceremony, it can get really emotional [I cried pretty much the 30mins that it lasted!] and you want to be photo ready right after it!

“We have very similar goals and expectations from each other.“

“We arrived to the reception at Rickys in a classic boat; we were sipping champagne on the most beautiful sunset cruising around Noosa River. It was absolutely stunning and it was some private time that we really enjoyed.”

The post Dream Noosa Main Beach Wedding appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

When planning their nuptials, Sophia had a bit of trouble narrowing down her many ideas into a styled theme that was both what she wanted and simplified enough to work. Her mother was the saviour there, helping to get things on track. The concept ended up being clean, crisp white with pops of colour in the floral arrangements, bridesmaid gowns and other styling pieces.

Friends and family members were heavily involved in their Sunshine Coast wedding day from start to finish with prayer readings at the Pomona church ceremony, wedding reception speeches, and they even asked a friend to be the MC.

Relaxed guitar music played as the 105 guests enjoyed a seafood dinner, and later on became more lively with plenty of dancing fun. The Noosa wedding reception venue featured sweet heart-shaped chalk boards and bird cages, along with a little DIY in the form of a table seating chart by the groom, and stationery by the bride’s brother.

This lovely couple know each other far too well. On their wedding day morning, they exchanged gifts of golf clubs for the groom and a Tiffany & Co pendant for the bride, which she wore with her wedding gown. Talk about spoilt!

The post Pomona Catholic Church wedding appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

This gorgeous young couple were engaged for six months after having been together for almost three years following an introduction by a mutual friend at a coffee shop, and then Bronwyn started attending Sam’s church. I genuinely have not seen a more sweet couple in all my time, and when you see their wedding photos below, I’m sure you will agree wholeheartedly.

Bronnie & Sam had always wanted to be married in Noosa, and chose a perfect location for their wedding ceremony – Maison La Plage Grove, Noosa Main Beach, then kicked on with their guests for a lovely celebration at Australis Noosa Lakes Resort. It was everything they ever dreamed of, a fun and vibrant Noosa Beach wedding with happy pink, orange and yellow flowers and plenty of big smiles.

Their super fun wedding included a rehearsed dance by the entire bridal party, as well as a surprise boogie down the aisle at the end of the ceremony to We Go Together from the movie, Grease! We just adore Bronnie and Sam with their infectious smiles and enthusiasm for life and love.

“My family were able to help rushing around getting the final bits finished for me and help doing up the favours for the guests etc… I was really thankful to them in that last week!”

“Both my two-year-old niece and nephew, who were junior flower girl and page boy, walked holding hands down the aisle by themselves! I am a proud Aunty!”

“Our faith in God binds us together as a couple”

“The very best thing (about the wedding day), which I am sure most brides will say, was marrying my husband. The part when our Priest said you can kiss the bride, I did this little giggle dance on the spot! I just couldn't believe it and how real this was and it was actually happening! And that was not planned!”

“As I worked full time and we were busy finding a house on the weekends, our wedding was planned all online”
