Eco styling is a wedding trend we are lusting after in a big, bad lustful manner. Okay, that may be a little over the top, but we really, really like it a whole awful lot! It’s about nature, and taking the raw unique elements it has to offer and constructing them in a beautifully assembled tablescape. We love the colours Splash Events have used in this theme. They have allowed the colours, understated floral arrangements, succulents and impressive twig centrepiece to take centrestage by complementing them with simple white dinnerware and clear wine glasses. A rustic feeling is brought into the mix…

When coming up with your wedding colour theme, you may choose a colour that really works on all levels. Like this lovely bride, Ashleigh, who married her beau, Steven, in pretty coastal Caloundra. Ashleigh’s wedding was infused with a beautiful deep royal purple, and she managed to use the colour in absolutely everything from her bridesmaids’ gowns to her bouquet, from ribbon and floral decorative elements, and even down to her eye makeup!  We love this bold look for a bride, it’s something different to wear on your wedding day, but not too far out of the box, either.

Not too shabby at all!  Our winner, Suzie, was beyond thrilled when she received the news she had won, and gathered her gals for the best day ever! Despite one of her girlfriends unexpectedly being unable to make it, the remaining three had the…

Whenever we have worked with Matt Rowe Photography, we have been struck by the care he takes in ensuring he gets just the right shot. He’s looking for perfection, and he does not stop until he gets it. This is evident in today’s Photo of the Week, which is from an engagement shoot in Bli Bli.  It’s an outrageously gorgeous sunset love story for Djanisa and Rana, and we are hopelessly in love with it! Matt Rowe is one Sunshine Coast wedding photographer to watch – you mark our words. Have a beautiful weekend, lovelies!

We always have a good time and a laugh when Fiona is about the joint, because she is a naturally personable lass, and just always so very happy! We think her unbridled happiness must be because this very happily married woman sincerely enjoys being part of other couples’ journey into married life. But hey, enough speculating, because there’s simply no need – Fiona has answered all of our probing questions. So let’s train our spotlight on this star of the Sunshine Coast…
