DIY a Fabulous Photo Booth

4th April 2013

You probably remember our gorgeous and clever bride, Taryn, whose amazing vintage DIY wedding we blogged a few weeks back. Well, she also happened to put together her own photo booth props, and the results were hilarious! Taryn, her husband, Ben, and their family and friends sure know how to have a good time!  It will be actually quite simple and cheap to DIY your own photo booth props for your Sunshine Coast wedding. Here’s how Taryn went about it.  Taryn first tackled her old dress up box, found stashed at her Mum and Dad’s, then hounded her brothers and…

Beduoin Marquee Wedding in Mooloolah Valley

3rd April 2013

Sarah and Flynn met while studying together at the University of Queensland. They found themselves enrolled in a tutorial together. And only each other. They were literally the only two people enrolled in the class. If that’s not a conversation starter, I don’t know what is.  Their beduoin marquee wedding was held in perfect seclusion on a private property in the Mooloolah Valley in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It was a relaxed, no fuss affair with 80 of the couple’s family and friends and their gorgeous little baby.  Enjoy these stunning images below by talented Sunshine Coast wedding phtoographer, Bonnie…

Photo of the Week

Gorgeous local Sunshine Coast couple, Chloe and Troy, said their I Do’s in a beautiful Point Cartwright wedding on a stunning day, so typical of this area. We love this spot for weddings, as there are so many pristine spots for your ceremony and bridal party photos.  Perfect lighting and the pretty blue sky are the stars of this shot, alongside the beautiful couple of course, and we absolutely adore her fun and colourful bouquet as well! Just too many reasons why this is today’s Photo of the Week, and none more than the fact that it has come from…

Wedding in Flaxton

Nina and John enjoyed perfect weather for their Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding at gorgeous wedding venue, Flaxton Gardens. Carefully planned over their 18 month long engagement, this cute couple, who got together in an office romance, achieved the elegant vintage wedding they desired.  There were 70 guests at the Flaxton wedding, who were conveniently able to enjoy walking from the ceremony directly to the reception, as Flaxton Gardens have both a stunningly gorgeous spot to say your vows with the most incredible view, as well as a choice of reception locations. Delicious food is an absolute certainty in this place,…

Photo of the Week

22nd March 2013

Katrina and Brenton were married at the Maroochy Botanical Gardens, a gorgeous spot for a Sunshine Coast wedding on one of our amazingly beautiful days. What a great choice of ceremony location, and a fantastic choice of wedding photographer in Andrea Sproxton Photography.  Andrea has a great personality and sense of humour, so it’s no wonder these groomsmen are enjoying leading the groom astray in a bit of harmless posing shenanigans! Way to calm the nerves before the bride arrives! We love this hilarious Photo of the Week. We hope you do, too, lovely Sunshine Coast brides! Happy Weekend to…

Photo of the Week

8th March 2013

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…

Upstyles for Brunette Brides

7th March 2013

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…

Brooch Bouquet

4th March 2013

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…

Wedding Day Emergency Kit

28th February 2013

Sure, you might have considered throwing a couple of Panadol, bandaids and your lippie in your bridesmaid’s purse to keep close by on your Sunshine Coast wedding day for just incasies. However, have you thought about hem tape in case your dress hem is caught on something? Or static spray in the event that you end up with an unintended bustle at your butt? Superglue for broken heels? What about spare earring backs? Eyedrops? No, we hadn’t either!  Simply Bridal have come to the rescue with this awesome checklist for your own wedding day emergency kit… Now it may not…

Photo of the Week

22nd February 2013

Today’s Photo of the Week has been chosen for one simple reason. That it has many moustaches in it obviously. Oh no! Okay, there are a few more reasons… One is the moustaches, which are clearly awesome and a welcome edition to any formal occasion, especially a wedding. The next is that it is another example of a beautiful Sunshine Coast wedding day – who can deny we have simply the most stunningly gorgeous days to celebrate marital union? Of course we must make mention of the handsome crowd in this photo. And… yes, you guessed it, I don’t even…
