If you were living under a rock last week, you will be unawares we launched Volume 3 of The Bride's Tree free online bridal magazine, and it is simply beautiful! If we do say so ourselves. The magazine has so much darn pretty, it's difficult to look away. Just one element of the outstanding gorgeous is the bridal beauty in our fashion shoot, which was held at Twin Waters Golf Club.  Our gorgeous model, Ashleigh's mug was prettied up good and proper by the talented hands of Sunshine Coast makeup artist, Sally Townsend, while Taryn Smith Hair Artistry tackled her…

This beautiful couple adored their wedding day last year so much, this year for their first anniversary, they decided to get all dressed up again. An anniversary photo shoot, or wedding day do-over, or trash the dress photo shoot is something many couples are doing. It gives you an opportunity to put that beautiful wedding dress on again and reminisce about the day you became husband and wife. Maria and Jarryd decided to do something a little bit special with their anniversary shoot. They asked the amazing Sunshine Coast stylist extraordinaire Hayley from Wholehearted Studio to help them come up…

At our recent styled shoot for Volume 2 of The Bride’s Tree free online magazine, we had one pretty model, prettied up even more by some of the best in the biz. On the makeup brushes was the lovely Kylie Jane of KJ Artisty, and wielding her styling tools of choice was Nicola of Hair by Nicola. Together they created a stunningly pretty look for our Modern Glam bride. We love the natural, yet glam makeup, and the beautiful asymmetrical hair style was simply perfect. There were lots of other gorgeous styling features and fashion in the styled shoot, which…

On the morning of Carly and Anthony’s Sunshine Coast wedding, Carly’s lovely bridesmaid, Kayla, made the lovely gesture of getting a cooked breakfast going. Eggs and bacon were on the sizzle, when an oil fire started… and that was the end of breakfast. The girls resorted to ice-cream and champagne for breakfast after that. And that was the last (not so) bad thing to happen that day. Despite a bit of rain in the morning, the afternoon cleared up beautifully, and this lovely young couple were able to be married under a spectacular fig tree in a whimsical garden party…

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…
