LOVESTRUCK
CROWNING GLORY Once the domain of boho weddings, brides of all persuasions are choosing to eschew the veil in favour of a FLOWER CROWN – whether your wedding is small and sophisticated, outdoorsy or whimsical, it’s time to embrace the crown. There are a few things to consider though. Some flowers are too delicate for crowns so choose hardy blooms that can survive without water for several hours. When planning your crown, think about scale – you don’t want one that is too big or it will overwhelm you, but you want it large enough to make an impact. Make sure your florist has created crowns before and will measure your head and help you with the design. It’s a good idea to have a back-up crown as even the hardiest of flowers might look wilted as the day and night wear on – just swap it out before the cocktails are served.

Here are our picks of fashionable locations, must-have products, and the latest trends in weddings.
WELL SUITED When it comes to the groom’s attire, forget a conservative black or navy suit. As the weather cools down it’s all about the TWEED. This look is classic and timeless. Both more relaxed and more sophisticated than a morning suit, there is something so effortless about a tweed jacket. The weight of tweed means its best for the cooler months, but even on the Sunshine Coast it doesn’t get that cold in autumn or winter, so if you can’t cope with the heat, get the tweed look with a check jacket in a textured fabric. We love this look.
THEME IT
PRETTY PETALS Weddings mean flowers and the more the better, which is why we reckon you should also include EDIBLE FLOWERS on your wedding catering list. Edible flowers can garnish not just cakes and salads, but also finger food and drinks. They add a pop of colour to any dish and we think your guests will love them. Edible flowers also come in a variety of sizes and colours so will suit any theme or wedding style. 62

2022 is the year we get back on the dance floor and people want to party. A trend wedding planners are seeing emerging this year is THEMED WEDDINGS – whether that’s disco, Hollywood glamour, 1920s, masquerade, Palm Springs, circus or whatever you can think of. It’s all about having fun and creating an atmosphere so your guests can have fun too. If you’re keen for a theme choose one that is meaningful to you and be sure to engage a planner who can help you bring your vision to life.
