I make the rules, I can break ’em. And who wouldn’t break the rules for this simply lovely offering for our photo of the week from Jennifer Oliphant Photographer? These pretty pictures feature florals created by Sunshine Coast wedding florist, Willow Bud, who will be exhibiting tomorrow at A Hinterland Wedding Expo. This free event will be held at Flaxton Gardens.  Oh, and we will be there! So make sure you come say hi to The Bride’s Tree team. All the important details on the Expo below. Happy Saturday, lovely Sunshine Coast brides!  Come and meet The Bride’s Tree team, Willow Bud and lots of other amazing…

Ooh, brides, do we have a treat for you today! One of our fave photographers, Andrea Sproxton, has shot the recently launched 2013 Elizabeth De Varga Couture Collections and Studio Collections, and they are ahmayzing!  You can see the love and care that goes into each and every gown, and I personally have seen this process first hand in their Sunshine Coast-based workshop, where you can view their new range in their showroom next door by appointment, or in their flagship store in Brisbane.  Enjoy these amazing images, taken at Maleny Manor and The Beauty Academy by Andrea Sproxton Photography The new…

I’m going to get a little bit smug here, I’m sorry, but it’s entirely called for. Because it is now widely known that The Bride’s Tree is the bearer of the prettiest expo stand in all the land. And this is where my smugness ends, because while I would love to take credit for it, the concepting and styling genius belongs entirely to Hayley Shum from Wholehearted Studio.  This time last year we launched our first ever expo stand at the It’s My Wedding expo, and exactly one year later, we have had a complete redesign by the same clever lass,…

Sometimes it just amazes me how much beauty I am exposed to day in and day out. I'd love to say this is because the reflection looking back at me is amazing, but as I have a young child and I work from home… let's just say some days the hair situation is a sight to behold! No of course, it's the beauty that comes my way each and every day in the form of inspiring weddings on the Sunshine Coast, and all of the work being done by Sunshine Coast wedding professionals.  Take for example a few of our…

The inspiration for this styled bridal photo shoot in Peachester is the beautiful, blooming Jacaranda Tree. Popular for its prettiness of lavender leaves littering the ground below, the Jacaranda Tree at this Peachester wedding venue, Mango Hill Farm, has attracted many a bride to its canopy.  This shoot actually featured in Volume 4 of The Bride’s Tree free online magazine, however we couldn’t fit in all of the gorgeous images by Marion Jonkers Photography that we would have liked to. So we are sharing them with you now, my pretties! We are not a selfish mob, we would not keep such splendour to…

Orange florals! Love them. LOVE them. They are fresh, they are funky, they go beautifully with these tangerine-coloured bridesmaid dresses. I adore how the bouquet by Sunshine Coast florist, Willow Bud, is very much a structured posy with traditional roses, but also with a wildflower feel. Just gorgeous!  The photo itself is also obviously stunningly gorgeous, which is why it is our photo of the week by Sunshine Coast photographer, A Look Photography.   

It will be your constant companion on your wedding day, so your wedding bouquet should be something you adore almost as much as your bridal gown, at least as much as you love your shoes, perhaps even cradled and adored like you would your first born child. Too far? Yeah, I always do that… I go too far…  I’m sorry, I just really love beautiful flowers! And these amazing bouquets I am sharing with you today are so super beautiful, they all feature in Volume 4 of The Bride’s Tree free online bridal magazine. Throughout the three real Sunshine Coast…

We were feeling like getting our pretty on to kick off the start of the end of the week. It’s getting closer and closer to Christmas, so what better way start getting festive than to share some super pretty florals with you! Blooms of Noosa are one of the most creative floral designers around, always coming up with new designs and concepts for their brides. We are sure you will love these beautiful bouquets as much as we do, so make sure you visit their Gallery for more amazing wedding floral inspiration.     

Feliz Navidad, beautiful Sunshine Coast brides! The stores have long been busting out the carols, lights are up all around the neighbourhood, almost everyone I know has their tree up, the eating, drinking and being merry is well underway. Oh, and in this part of the world, it is prime beach weather with blue skies, glittering white sand and sparkling saltwater. Divine! To me the best part about Christmas is the decorative factor – everything just looks so pretty! Sometimes tacky… but mostly pretty! And no Christmas decoration I have seen is more super pretty than the one we are…

I don't know about you guys, but I think one of the prettiest pretties to be found at a Sunshine Coast wedding comes in the form of flowers. Their perfection, their delicacy and their fragility put together in perfect arrangements, so artistic in nature, just simply leave us breathless. Every time!  I-blossom is a Maroochydore-based wedding florist, servicing the entire Sunshine Coast and today we can't help but be inspired by their insanely beautiful floral creations in our Gallery of the Week. Enjoy more of their ultimate loveliness here.
