Freebies! 

First stop on your list, Hello May! Their team will be giving out free copies of their fab magazine, but you’ll need to be quick as it’s only up for grabs to the first 100 brides who arrive. Pick it up on arrival and start pouring over it for real wedding inspiration.

Everyone loves a freebie! A Darling Affair has organised a great range of prizes to be won on the day including a free engagement shoot from the super talented Adriana Watson. Adriana is known for her stunning, natural images and is a favourite photographer on the Sunshine Coast. The guys from Ice Cream Curls are also giving away a free upgrade package valued at $250 and if you haven’t tried their delicious ice cream yet, they’ll also be giving away free tastings on the day. Yum!

Meet the vendors

The wedding fair will be jam-packed full of creative, friendly wedding vendors to chat to for wedding inspiration. Grab some styling tips from Event Letters, head over to the lovely Tenille Fink and pick her brain for gorgeous photography ideas and don’t forget to stop by Heavenly Blooms and Gloriosa Florals, because no celebration is truly complete without the perfect flowers.

Next stop is to check out the beautiful stationery that’s on display, because we’re suckers for some gorgeous paper goods! Be sure to check out The Frankie Collective, Little Duck Calligraphy and Lindqvist Ink for awe inspiring invitations and stunning old school calligraphy. Then make a stop at Bow and Arbour for a peek at their contemporary, magazine-style wedding albums that will knock your socks off.

Bridal beauty time

A bride (and her bridesmaids!) deserve to look and feel their most beautiful on a wedding day, so make sure you visit Khesanh and her team of stylists from The Beauty Case for classic and on trend hair and makeup tips that your bride-to-be will love. And go say hi to the girls at Sally Townsend Makeup Artistry, who are wizards in the makeup chair and specialise in natural, airbrushed looks.

The all-important snack situation

Time for a break? Bring along a blanket and unwind on the picnic lawn while sipping on heavenly mocktails from Head Over Wheels. These guys have created an amazing mobile caravan bar that is the perfect backdrop for a relaxed celebration.

All the pretties

Be sure to pencil in time for the fashion parade, with so many drool-worthy brands lined up, this is definitely a part of the fair that you won’t want to miss. Ivie White, Ginger and Gold, Hide and Rose and LilyM Hats , will all be showing off their latest ranges and we already know that you’ll be swooning over their collections!

Fun memeories

And last, but definitely not least, before leaving grab your BFF and jump over to the Sunshine Coast Vintage Photo Booths where Fairylight Curtains will be creating some magic with a spectacular backdrop for the ultimate photo album keepsake.

So grab your tickets now and start planning your day. Your bestie will love you for it!

Next, they pick the best venues! The Abbey was a super cool place to hold a fair, because the hall itself was spacious and atmospheric with funky built-in vintage details to enjoy beyond the pretty of the stalls themselves. Then there was the open air chapel – LOVE! 

All the visitors enjoyed a stunning fashion show featuring some of the most impressive hair I have ever clapped eyes on, and I was sent home with a sweet goodie bag with lollies and a free magazine. 

While I was there, I was Instagramming like crazy! If you're on Instagram, check out hash tag #adarlingaffair and follow @thebridestree, so next time we're at a special event, you can enjoy it along with us, and get the scoop on what's happening. 

Attending the Gold Coast wedding fair got me all geared up for the Sunshine Coast equivalent, which is taking place on August 10 at The Chapel in Woombye. As official sponsors, we will be bringing you all the details as the time nears. Stay tuned! 

Now, I was lucky enough to be accompanied by fellow blogger, Hayley, from Wholehearted Studio, who took many more (and much more beautiful) photos than I of the event, which she will be publishing on her blog this week. So keep your eyes peeled! 

Just in case you missed it…

We started the week with a bang, and a Flight of Fantasy. 

Then we introduced you to a woman, who is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to wedding hair

And we got some sound advice from a wedding makeup veteran. 

We had a guest blogger on Thursday, the lovely Carrie from A Darling Affair with all things floral. 

And we rounded out the week with an artistic wedding highlights film and equally creative photos from a homestead wedding. 

Of course yesterday we shared with you a delightful Photo of the Week, this one from a Noosa wedding.

Brilliant Bridal Beauty Tip

By Pru Edwards – Makeup Artist

Make sure you drink plenty of water in the week leading up to the wedding, this will aid in reducing dark eye circles and fine lines. It will also have your skin glowing and dewy for a flawless makeup finish.
