Hair Design of the Week

29th September 2012

Ooh, pretty! Today's hair design of the week is actually not one, but FOUR beautiful hair styles by wonderful Sunshine Coast hair stylist, Taryn Smith Hair & Makeup. When we saw these lovely pics by Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding photographer, Artography, we just had to share the bridesmaids' 'dos as well. Aren't they simply splendid?  Sunshine Coast brides love having Taryn around on their wedding day morning for her beautiful personality as much as her amazing hair styling talents. Having had Taryn work with us on some photo shoots for The Bride's Tree online bridal magazine, we can certainly attest…

Fox Wedding in Maleny

6th August 2012

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…

Spring Races Wedding Styling

2nd July 2012

When thinking of a theme for your wedding, it doesn't all have to be about the colours and the bombonieres, and how you will decorate the joint up. You can also have your guests get involved and bring a bit of the styling on their person. No, I'm not suggesting you do an all-white party wedding, Jay-Z or P.Diddy-style (or whoever it is, who hosts these ludacris events.) Personally, I think limiting your entire guest list to wearing but one colour is a bit over-the-top and potentially stressful for them. You could, however, ask them to get into the spirit of…

Makeup Design of the Week

30th June 2012

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.

Flaxton Garden Wedding with Style

20th May 2012

Vicki and Chris first met while learning a spot of Latin dancing for a unique birthday party for a mutual friend. I guess you could say, Chris swept Vicki off her feet! The two may conveniently compliment each other with commonality, such as Chris’s love of desserts and Vicki’s love of baking, but it’s their faith that really make their relationship work, they say. They also credit good communication as one of the most important ways they make their relationship work – sharing the good, as well as the not-so-good thoughts and feelings is key, they say. Their Sunshine Coast…
