For their upcoming wedding, Chloe and Joel commissioned Kerrie-anne Designs to custom design an invitation set that would lend itself to their dual theme. Rustic and nautical was the order of the day, so super clever and creative Kerrie-Anne set about creating this unique set, which includes the invitation itself, personalised name tags, map to the ceremony, and RSVP postcard. With her design, Kerrie-anne had a stamp made, which she applied to transparent paper and fixed it to balsa wood. We absolutely adore the attention to detail and care put into every one of Kerrie-anne’s designs.  Kerrie-anne Designs has both custom…

Justine and Simon enjoyed their special day exactly the way they wanted to. All of their guests enjoyed a breakfast together, after spending the night at the luxurious private estate of Spicers Clovelly. With complete privacy for their intimate wedding of just 10 guests, the bridal couple were free to enjoy a walk together after breakfast, which calmed them for the day they faced ahead. Meanwhile, guests swam in the pool and enjoyed a light lunch before frocking up for the onsite ceremony.  The stand outs for us at this wedding were Justine’s positively toothsome Manolo Blahnik blue heels a…

Trends, style and fun. That is how I would sum up our blogging week at The Bride's Tree. In other news, we were also fortunate enough to attend a networking event, chock-a-block full of amazing Sunshine Coast wedding professionals. It was really a night to let loose and have a bit of fun. We expected nothing less from larrikan organiser, DJ Lee Bevington.  It just goes to show how many beautiful weddings are successfully pulled off every single week on the Sunshine Coast. Our local wedding industry really is like a well-oiled machine! Take a look at some news coverage…

If this doesn’t brighten your day, nothing will. Just take a moment to “ahhh” with us over this picture-perfect scene. A beautiful newlywed couple, a stunningly gorgeous Sunshine Coast beach, and some really funky styling with a personalised freestanding doorway draped in vines. Ah.May.Zing.  If this was the only photograph you ended up with from your wedding day, I’m sure it would be enough. However knowing Greg Gardner Photography, this lucky couple would have had plenty of equally as gorgeous images and spoiled for choice as to which ones to display. Hmm… I feel the need to come up with…

Last week we brought you a fine selection of bridal upstyles for blondes, so today we thought we had better do the brunette brides a solid and show you some gorgeous styles for our dark-haired beauties as well.  There is nothing more elegant than glossy locks expertly curled, twisted, braided and pinned atop a bride’s crown for her wedding day. Whether it be a high structured bun, a low chignon, or some cascading curls pulled to the side for a striking asymmetrical style, each of these pretty bridal hair styles has their place in a Sunshine Coast wedding. We love…

Guest blog post by Carrie and Emily from A Darling Affair. Over at A Darling Affair we’re gearing up for our first event of the year – The Celebration Fair. All of our planning has us in a party mood and nothing says party and excitement like CONFETTI! We reflected on the invention of confetti and found that it originates with the tradition of showering newly weds in things such as rice as they leave their wedding ceremony. Indeed an expression of LOVE as it represents showering the bride and groom in well wishes for their life together. Continuing our series…

  Our spotlight is trained to a true superstar of the Sunshine Coast wedding industry today. Shona Anderson is someone who really brings it to each and every wedding ceremony she officiates on the Sunshine Coast. When you meet Shona, you can see beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is one lady, who truly adores what she does. Her bridal couples mean the world to her, and being there for them in the lead up to their wedding day to put together their own personalised perfect wedding ceremony is what makes Shona’s world turn. Anyway, enough about this…

One super pretty trend to hit the wedding scene is bouquets made entirely from beads, crystals, brooches and other kinds of jewellery. Ultra glam, the beauty of these jewellery bouquets is unlike their flower counterparts, of course they do not wilt!  This beautiful little morsel is complemented with royal blue silk flowers and tied with a gorgeous ivory ribbon, pinned with a sapphire rhinestone. Gorgeous bride, Taryn (whose DIY styling we recently featured), ordered her brooch bridal bouquet online at Etsy store, Noaki Jewelry. Their customisable bouquets are carefully constructed with each little gem and brooch wired in to make…

If you missed out on anything at all, never fear, we have bundled it all together just in case, so you can get on your way to planning the Sunshine Coast wedding of the year! Here is all the great planning information we have had on the blog this week…  We fell head over heals for this wedding in the Sunshine Coast hinterland at one of our all-time fave wedding…

The clouds may have only parted for a mere moment, but that’s all Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Jennifer Oliphant Photography needed to capture this spectacular shot with sunshine streaming through. This lovely engaged couple must be jumping out of their skin to have ended up with a shot like this at One Tree Hill in Maleny from their engagement shoot. There is no better view of the majestic Glass House Mountains than that of the one from the little tree on the hill all the best local wedding photographers have access to. This tree is iconic to weddings in the…
