Family Wedding at Flaxton Gardens

13th April 2014

Amanda and Trev were highschool sweethearts, who fell truly, madly, deeply and hopelessly in love over exchange of sweet childish love letters. Those same love letters are the ones Trev bundled together in a vintage jewellery box for Amanda to open on her wedding day morning. How she turned up to her wedding ceremony without puffy eyes, we will never know!  //// This beautiful couple had a long engagement of four years before they finally tied the knot at gorgeous Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding venue, Flaxton Gardens. It was a perfect day, with their ceremony overlooking the gorgeous hinterland, which…

Yellow, Grey and White Cake

14th May 2013

A colour scheme we absolutely adore is yellow, grey and white. It’s pretty, but has the perfect combination of feminine and masculine when executed right. Such as with this gorgeous wedding cake, created by the scrummiest lady around, Skye from Sunny Girl Cakes. Just going to show, your colour theme can be followed through to even your wedding cake with subtlety. Being that your wedding cake is the centrepiece to your wedding, the culmination of the celebration that is your joining in marriage with the love of your life, you want to get it right and make an impact.

Buderim Waterfall Trash the Dress

9th May 2013

Having a Trash the Dress shoot is a fabulous reason to get back into your beautiful wedding dress, and the Sunshine Coast has so many stunning locations to have such a shoot. Take for example Buderim Forest Park, with its majestic waterfall. It is a truly pristine piece of this world, and a perfect location for a trash the dress shoot.  Now of course the word “trash” doesn’t sound terribly nice, and you certainly don’t have to come away from the shoot with your beloved gown in tatters. However, if you’re willing to rough it a little, you can end…

Photo of the Week

12th April 2013

An Australian bush wedding… how divine! There is something truly magical about eucalyptus trees at twilight. They tend to conjure up images of Australian bush fairies laying in wait to start frolicking and dancing the moment the sun goes down.  This bride certainly appears to be quite like the queen of the bush fairies. So very beautiful! Today’s photo of the week appeals to the little Aussie girls in us, and we simply adore the beauty of the photograph by Nicky Stone – Photographer at a Noosa North Shore Wedding.  Happy Saturday, lovely Sunshine Coast brides!
