Last weekend my man cub and I threw caution to the wind, exited our lives in the most cheeky manner (two days of school and work respectively), and took to the open road. Our destination: Fraser Island. The world's largest sand island is located only 2.5 hours by car plus 40 mins by ferry north of the Sunshine Coast, and yet I had never been. Shameful, I know! It's almost like a requirement of Sunny Coast locals to regularly trip to this beautiful spot. Now I can say I know just why.  We are not the camping types. Okay, I…

It has been an insanely beautiful week weather-wise on the Sunshine Coast, and while we can't share the joy of our sunny days of not-too-hot perfection, we can share with you the beauty we have had on the blog this week. A great consolation! Just in case you missed it… A wedding at the Caloundra Air Museum was the best way we could think of to start our week. It's getting warmer by the day, so we shared how to stay cool at your Summer wedding. Lust-worthy 1940's and 1950's bridal inspiration was oogled over. We showed you a whole…

Just in case you missed it… The sweetest Noosa wedding on the river was how we started the week, and we pretty much ended up with a toothache. On Tuesday we shared some really cool wedding traditions and customs from around the world.  Hump day brought with it some of the pretty from A Darling Affair. On Thursday we shared an incredibly unique styled shoot with Egyptian-inspired bridal style!  And Friday we shared a colourful and impeccably styled Sunshine Beach wedding from one of our fave wedding photographers.

This time last weekend, there was a gathering of vintage enthusiasts at the Adorned with Love Vintage Chic Wedding Fair in Gympie. An outrageous level of vintage pretty was all in one place, and vintage-inspired brides were in heaven as they strolled through, meeting such wedding industry professionals as Marion Jonkers Photography, who has shared with us some of her photos from the event. As a lover of all things vintage, Marion herself was loving every minute of this collective of creativity. Marion at her super pretty stall top left, and she was visited by Melita of Boudoir Blush, who…

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the Gold Coast Wedding Fair, put together superbly by A Darling Affair duo, Carrie and Emily. I love the way these girls think. Firstly, their events are all about handmade, bespoke, vintage, out of the box. Every business involved in these fairs is basically one form of creative genius or another, so there is something not just pretty, but pretty amazing to look at every which way you turn.  Next, they pick the best venues! The Abbey was a super cool place to hold a fair, because the hall itself was spacious and…
