Sara-Jane loves Sam | Tiffany’s Maleny Wedding

Sally Townsend — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 03:32:53 +0000

It was their local football/netball club that brought them together. This eventually lead to a fateful weekend away in Kingscliff, where Sam proposed.

Although Covid was the biggest wedding planning challenge they faced, with guests flying in from out of state, they managed to get 85 of their loved ones together to celebrate their union.

Sara-Jane and Sam were married in the chapel at Tiffany’s Maleny, then their guests stayed on for a reception on site in the dining room. Our friends at Raconteur Photography were there to capture all the precious moments from the first morning champagne pop to the first dance.

Sara-Jane has shared her wedding day story, and some of the planning process below.

Wedding Planning Priorities

The setting and the feel had to be right for us. A place with a beautiful setting to remember our special day and that our guests could enjoy as well.

The Location

We got married here because Sunshine Coast has so much to offer. A holiday destination for our guests. Beach, and not far away is beautiful hinterland. Tiffany’s Maleny had a perfect setting over looking the glass house mountains.

Photography destination only two mins away from venue and everything was planned and taken care of at the venue – ceremony, canapés and reception.

Everything was taken care of by professional staff. Made planning the day stress free.

Standout Vendor

Raconteur Photography. They captured every moment and stayed longer than we had expected him too. Great photographer and easy going. We had a lot of fun during the photo shoots.

Gemma + Aaron’s Wedding Film at Tiffany’s

Sally Townsend — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 04:26:22 +0000

GEMMA + AARON | WEDDINGS AT TIFFANY’S, MALENY from Graeme Passmore on Vimeo.

If I had to describe Gemma and Aaron’s wedding film – oh wait, I do, it’s literally my job. Shall I, then? Okay, I’d say it’s less like a slow-moving (is it over yet?) film you’ll have to force your friends and family to sit through, and more like a stunning, moody music video they’ll be begging to watch again the moment it ends.

Gemma and Aaron were married in the chapel on site at purpose-built wedding venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Their wedding day arrived, and with it arose a mist stretching forth towards the Glass House Mountains – the stuff fairytales are made of.

Graeme Passmore Photography & Films captured the day in a style of his own that truly lets you experience the intimacy of the day. More importantly, he has edited the footage in such a way that it presents a completely unique style of wedding film that we are so here for.

Sweet Peach Modern Bridal Style

Sally Townsend — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 11:33:06 +0000

In the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, a cohort of local vendors came together to put their creativity to task and create this sweet peach bridal style. It’s equal parts pretty, romantic, modern and chic with a soft pastel colour palette and the quintessential hinterland location – the iconic Weddings at Tiffany’s.

Fashion + Flowers

Although meticulously styled, the look appears effortless with clean lines in the bridal gowns from White Lily Couture and a soft peach and white floral colour palette with muted foliage. The bouquet by Tiffany’s Flowers was fastened with a flowing peach silk ribbon for a romantic twist.

Hair + Makeup

Bringing in a popular contemporary element, model Nikita’s hair was styled by Evalyn Parsons with fishtail braids, giving a boho vibe. Her stunning makeup by Louise Henzell Makeup Artist was expertly designed using flattering soft peach and nude tones with luscious lashes as the main feature.

Cake + Dining

Katey loves Barry | Maleny Wedding

Sally Townsend — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 19:00:46 +0000

Katey and Simon are from opposite ends of the world, but they started a new life all of their own, together here on the Sunshine Coast. So when choosing their Maleny wedding venue, they wanted all their guests travelling from Perth, the UK and South Africa to see just how incredible their new home is.

Meet Cute

“Barry and I met at swimming training in Perth in early 2015. I’m a Perth girl and Barry, who is South African, had recently move there from the UK. Although we came from very different backgrounds, we instantly ‘clicked’ over our mutual love for endurance sports and triathlon.

“In late 2016 we decided to move to the Sunshine Coast, after a brief visit, to start our own life together. Barry proposed to me three days after arriving on my 30th birthday on Fraser Island. It was the best decision we made and we haven’t left!”

The Venue

“We had originally thought we would have a beach wedding. But after going for a long cycle one Sunday up to Maleny we rode past Weddings at Tiffany’s and the view and venue was amazing! We were willing to pay a little extra and be flexible with dates just to have it there. It was the first place we looked at and we booked it that day.”

Images by Nicole Laufer Photography

Stand-out Vendors

“Our photographer, Nicole Laufer, was excellent and all her photos were amazing. None of the images seemed staged and were really relaxed, we wanted something unique that actually looked like us and she definitely delivered. It was almost like she was one of the guests!

“Jamie Fox Higgins through McGee Entertainment – he’s a solo artist but he was amazing! He read the crowd well, you hardly noticed he was there and everyone commented on how great he was. He also took time to come and say hi and check if I needed anything. He was so professional.”

Why Barry’s The One

“Barry makes me laugh and not take life too seriously. Personality wise he is very different than me, but as a team we complement each other. I’ve never been happier and still pinch myself with how lucky I am to have met such a wonderful person.”

Advice for Future Brides and Grooms

“Don’t over plan everything. Just go with the flow on the day; if your guests are having a good time that is all that matters. I also felt it was important to have people there that matter to you and your partner, rather than those who you’re obliged to invite. Controversial, but its your day and you’ll enjoy it far more with good friends and close family.”

Next Adventure

“Well, less than a year later and we’re expecting our first baby in four weeks! Our next adventure will be raising our daughter together, scary but exciting.”

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: The venue, it was absolutely stunning!

Best money-saver: Hiring a private car rather than through a limo company. Also, getting as many things through Etsy as I could.

Bride’s dress: Oxford Bridal in Perth

Bride’s and bridesmaids’ accessories: Various jewellers on Etsy. I wanted something unique and handmade that supported Australian designers.

Bride’s and bridesmaids’ shoes: Spendless Shoes

Bridesmaids’ dresses: Shona Joy

DIY: Invitations, seating chart and table numbers. I designed these on Canva.

Honeymoon: Vanuatu

Number of guests: 80

Wedding budget: $30,000

Actual cost of wedding: $30,000

Emma loves Drew | Hinterland Chapel Wedding

Sally Townsend — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 19:00:40 +0000

Professional triathlete Emma married Coach Drew in a classic Hinterland chapel wedding at all-in-one venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s. For the active Brisbane couple, it was a fitting moment on a mountain climb when Drew asked Emma to be his wife.

Emma shares her wedding planning story and why they chose a hinterland chapel wedding for their special day…

Our Venue

“The views at Weddings at Tiffany’s were the main reason we chose the Sunshine Coast and in particular the hinterland region. We wanted a wedding that had an amazing location and venue and Tiffany’s fit this to a tee.”

Biggest Wedding Planning Challenge

“Drew and I both spend a lot of the year overseas so this was a challenge in ensuring we did as much planning as possible while at home. Luckily the internet is a great tool and we were able to order certain things online even when we weren’t at home.”

Our Suppliers

“We were very happy with all our suppliers and looking back on our wedding day there was nothing that we would change. Every person we had involved in our day made us feel special and created everything just as we had planned.”

Why I Married Him

“We are best friends and complement each other in every aspect of our lives. Even though we are opposites this makes our relationship even better and helps us each become a better person.”

“Do what you and your to be husband want, don’t worry about others. It is your special day so it should be the way you want it to be.”

Abbie loves Ryan | Hinterland Chapel Wedding

Sally Townsend — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 15:40:14 +0000

The easiest way to take the stress out of planning for their wedding day was to remove any concern about weather. Let’s face it, Queensland wedding can be unpredictable. Although we have 260-odd sunny days each year, planning for the possibility of hitting one of the others is a must. Hinterland wedding venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s is, as Abbie put it, “weather proof”.

Choosing Tiffany’s for their hinterland chapel wedding was a no-brainer. The chapel and dining room complete with covered deck provide ultimate protection, yet in the happy event of a sunny day there is plenty of pretty outside space with just the kind of view one drives up the range for.

Fortunately for Abbie and Ryan, the day was full of clear skies. Read all about the day, as Abbie shares her memories and some awesome advice for future brides…

Emotional Wedding Day Moment

“Seeing Ryan at the end of the aisle! It felt like every emotion we had felt together over the past six years came back. The heavy heart I felt when Ryan and I would go months without seeing each other was there, but then was lifted as it felt like it was the end of our long distance struggles. It felt like any pain I had ever experienced was worth it to make it to this day. All the amazing memories we had shared came flooding back. I just felt so lucky to have found my soul mate.”

The Venue

“Tiffanys was the only venue Ryan and I looked at. We booked it the day that we first walked through it. Everything was five class. The views are absolutely breath taking, the service was phenomenal, almost everything was included in our package, the food was delicious. The compliments are endless. I never felt stressed. From the moment we booked to the day of, the hardest decision was picking which meals we wanted! Although the weather was perfect and sunny, it was great not having to worry about rain because everything is weather proof!”

Images by Tom Hall Photography

Finding Suppliers

“Tiffanys gave us their recommendations on their preferred suppliers which was extremely helpful. Stalking the Sunshine Coast Brides Tribe on Facebook daily also gave me a lot of inspiration!”

Getting Ready at Home

“My bridesmaids and my mum. I chose to get ready at our home as it means so much to Ryan and I as we have spent a long time renovating it. Seeing it look so beautiful in our photos made us so proud.”

The Decision to Marry

“We always knew that we were going to be together forever.We are both good at different things which keeps us quite balanced. He makes me laugh until my tummy hurts every single day. I guess I never really knew a life without him.”

Local Wedding

“It was so easy because most of our guests live on the coast. But we just love the diversity of it. Between the incredible beaches and stunning hinterland. It really has the best of both worlds.”

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: Flowers! We wanted a simple but elegant wedding. We kept decorations to a minimum to allow the flowers to have the attention they deserved. Just about every inch of Tiffanys was coated in beautiful flowers. Well worth the extra money!

Best bargain: Suits Direct for the boys ties and pocket squares. They were all custom made and each tie worked out about $12 each!

Bride’s dress: LUV Bridal Maroochydore

Bride’s accessories: Tiffany & Co.

Bride’s shoes: JJ’s House

Bridesmaids’ dresses: Model Chic

Bridesmaids’ accessories: Tiffany & Co., and Colette by Colette Hayman

Bridesmaids’ shoes: Target

Groom’s and groomsmen’s attire: Roger David + Suits Direct

Honeymoon: Canada + Hawaii

Number of guests: 50

Wedding budget: $30,000

Actual cost of wedding: $35,000

Unforgettable Memory

“Dancing at the reception with all of our favourite people. I had not a care in the world. It was the perfect way to celebrate what had been our dream day and the start of our marriage.”

The Proposal

“We were walking along the Brooklyn Bridge towards Manhattan while on our winter holiday in the States. Ryan asked a fellow tourist to take a photo of us with the skyline behind us. He then started talking about how much he loved me and proceeded onto one knee. Oh so romantic!”

Advice for Future Brides

“Definitely invest in a videographer! Before the wedding everyone kept saying to soak up and enjoy every minute of the day. Realistically this is impossible! The whole day just felt like a blur and there was so much I didn’t remember because it all felt so overwhelming! Watching our video back felt like we got to relive our day again. I love that we will be able to show it to our future kiddies and celebrate every anniversary with champagne and watching our wedding movie (53 minutes)!”

The Next Adventure

“We want to continue to travel the world together. Live lightly and not take anything too seriously. We are so happy with where we are at now. As cliche as it is, I feel like all my dreams have come true! “

Chanel loves Corey | Timeless Maleny Chapel Wedding

Sally Townsend — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 06:50:48 +0000

After meeting on a night out with friends, Corey wasted no time in asking around for Chanel’s phone number. He made the call that changed his life the very next day, and the pair have never been apart since.

The self-confessed “big kids” planned their Maleny chapel wedding at the Sunshine Coast Hinterland wedding venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s where uninterrupted views of the Glass House Mountains are a huge draw card. They said their vows in the onsite chapel, then headed to some iconic spots in Maleny for their bridal party photo shoot.

When they returned to their 60 guests at Tiffany’s, they enjoyed sit-down fine dining, live music, and a cake as beautiful as it was delicious, made by Chocolate2Chilli.

The night was punctuated with fireworks in front of the flower-adorned chapel in spectacular fashion!

Bride, Chanel, has shared some of her memories from the day and the Sunshine Coast wedding planning process.

Dress Shopping

“Dress shopping was fun. I invited my mum, Nan, mother-in-law-to-be and my aunty. The women who mean most to me. If I went for any meetings for planning I always had my mum and dad there too.”

The Music

“We hired The Paper Flowers to play at the wedding and they did such an amazing job. Great variety of music and their voices sounded beautiful.”

The Best Part

“That I got to marry my best friend! I know many people say that they have found their soul mate but I truly have. My life would never be the same without Corey.”

Family Ties

“Due to being in a split family I wanted to ensure that my step father was involved in walking me down the isle. I had him meet me half way down the isle to be there is giving me away from both of my dad’s. My mum also read a reading in the ceremony.”

Advice to Future Brides

“Don’t stress over the small stuff. If anything doesn’t go to plan or isn’t 100% right, don’t worry. No one else will know that it isn’t right. Also you and your husband should take five minutes and enjoy the moment. Look at everyone around you and take it in. They’re not lying when people tell you it will be over in a blink of any eye!”

Photography by White Images

“We had two attendants each. I had my sister, Rhyannon, and my sister-in-law, Hayley. Corey had his best friend, Blake, and his older brother, Luke.”

Wedding Secrets

Biggest splurge: I don’t feel that we splurged in any way as everything was reasonably priced. I guess we picked the most expensive package for food and drinks at our venue but it was worth every penny.

Biggest bargain: My niece’s dress. Corey and I were walking through the (Brisbane) Southbank markets one night and saw this beautiful white dress and knew that it was what we wanted for her. It only cost $40.

Bride’s dress: White Lily Couture

Accessories: Swarovski Crystal

Shoes: Nine West

Bridesmaid dresses: White Runway

Bridesmaids’ shoes: Nine West

Groom’s suit and shoes: Saba and Country Road

Groomsmens’ suits and shoes: Tarocash and Country Road

Rings: Michael Hill

DIY: Our best man, Blake, helped out quite a bit with our table numbers and a sign for the chapel.

Number of guests: 60

Wedding budget: $20,000

Honeymoon: Maldives

Lauren loves Damien | Weddings at Tiffany’s Maleny

Sally Townsend — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 04:09:27 +0000

Being big fans of Maleny, Coorparoo couple Lauren and Damien chose our Sunshine Coast hinterland for their destination wedding. They couldn’t go past the view at Weddings at Tiffany’s, so they held their ceremony in the chapel and stayed on site for photos and reception.

Lauren says their getting married was inevitable, “We knew very early in our relationship that we would get married. We were very lucky to be able to plan our wedding together and make sure it was the right celebration for us.”

Wedding Planning

“Working full time and studying meant we had very little time to spend on wedding planning. We had a good idea of what we wanted for the day so this made it easier to look for inspiration when we did have the time. We found most of our inspiration on Pinterest but also some research on websites or Google images.”

Wedding Venue

“We spent a lot of time in the early part of our relationship on the coast so Maleny was always a great place to spend time on the weekends. We have always loved the view of the glasshouse mountains so when we were looking for Wedding venues we knew very early that we would love to get married up there.

The three most important things for us on our day was to have good food, good people and a good atmosphere. We chose Weddings at Tiffany’s for the spectacular view, the amazing food and the professionalism and attention of the staff.”

The Music

“The band was also fantastic. They had most of the room up and dancing from the second song and kept the energy up through both their sets to make sure everyone stayed there. They had a great mix of songs from different eras to make sure there was something for everyone and were very accommodating in allowing us to choose our own playlists.

We had harps playing while walking down the aisle but didn’t have a reception entrance or first dance as we were enjoying the afternoon with our guests very soon after the ceremony.”

The Photos

“We made sure to choose a photographer that made us feel very comfortable during our photos and the band to make sure we had plenty of dancing and good vibes.”
