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…

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…

I really adore a man in a black skinny tie. There is something classic, romantic and ultra stylish about the black suit, crisp white shirt and the simplicity of the black skinny tie. I think with weddings, it's particularly lovely, because the black compliments the white of the wedding dress and allows the bride to shine. And boy, does this bride shine in her tulle skirt of her wedding dress! Love it! To me, this photo is a real celebration. The groom is ecstatic with his beautiful bride, the bride herself is blissfully satisfied and at peace with her new…

Makeup Design of the Week

23rd June 2012

Ooh, we love a unique wedding theme, so this vintage/bohemian Sunshine Coast bride is right up our alley! And this wedding day makeup by Sunshine Coast wedding Makeup Artist, Natalie Hunter Makeup Artist… devine!   Natalie has designed a soft frosty eye makeup with a hint of peachy pink hue and a very light brown in the sockets. She applied a very soft peachy pink shimmery cheek with a glossy peachy pink lip. As with every bride, the main aim was for the base to be absolutely flawless without looking too heavy. Mission accomplished!   These stunning images are by the super talented Robeccer at Adori…

How To Choose Your Bridal Party

5th June 2012

When choosing the people who will stand up with you on the most important day of your life, you want to make sure you get it right. First, you want to ask yourselves a few questions: How many attendants can we afford to have? Whether you are paying for the dresses, suits, shoes etc. or you’re asking your attendants to do so, there are other costs involved that you will have to bear – bouquets, button holes, gifts for your attendants etc. Are there any expectations to have any particular people? If your sister had you in their wedding party, they may…
