Spotlight on a Supplier – Andrea Sproxton Photography

9th July 2012

Andrea Sproxton made her start in photography in 2005, first doing family portraits. In 2009, after countless families had been given The Andrea Experience and ended up with some stunning images to boot, a friend of a friend asked Andrea to photograph her wedding. A bit hesitant at first, Andrea wasn't sure if she would love or hate being a wedding photographer, but luckily for many Sunshine Coast brides, she loves them! With quite a passion, we might add. Since that first wedding, Andrea hasn't looked back and has become one of our most popular Sunshine Coast wedding photographers. As…

Wedding Day Do-Over

8th July 2012

When rain poured on Katie and Tim's Sunshine Coast wedding day, they still had confident, beautiful smiles on their faces. They knew it was no big deal to them at all. Their wet weather plan came into play, but of course they missed out on all of the lovely outdoor wedding party photos they had planned. However, they still were not concerned in the least. Why? Because they had a backup plan for those, too. Their amazing Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Emma Nayler Photographer, made them a promise – as she does with all her brides – that if weather…

The Magic of Owls at Your Wedding

5th July 2012

Let me tell you a little something about owls. No, really, stay with me – this is relevant to weddings! Owls traditionally are a very respected creature in many countries across the globe. The Greeks believed owls represent status, intelligence and wealth. In Celtic, Egyptian and Hindu cultures, the owl is representative of guardianship. In our western culture, they denote all kinds of meaning, like wisdom, mysticism, transition and protection. In all, the owl is a creature many respect, and they definitely have an undeniable magical sense about them. Having an owl as part of your wedding may seem like a…

Wow Wedding Stationery

4th July 2012

Why wait until your Sunshine Coast wedding day to start wowing your guests? You can capture them from first glance when they get their mitts on your wow wedding stationery. We really love anything paper at The Bride's Tree, and particularly love a beautifully designed wedding invitation on card or paper you just want to run your fingers over. You know when you get an invitation like that and you really just want to keep touching it, but you also don't want to, incase you wreck it? And then if someone else wants to touch it, all of a sudden it's…

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…
