Editor’s Note + Behind the Scenes Recent Blog Highlights Giveaway - WIN a Rose Quartz ring Facebook Faves Instagram Faves
editor’s note A recurring theme throughout our conversations, turning up in our books, and social media, is gratefulness. To be actively grateful is to take stock of your blessings. Personally, one of my greatest blessings is what I do for a living. Writing about weddings and creating styled shoots for all of you to be inspired and find the very best of the wedding industry on the Sunshine Coast to help you execute your dreams.

This edition is quite the dream come true when it comes to bridal inspiration. Our two photo shoots took place at two of my favourite and completely contrasting local wedding spots – Moffat Beach, breathtaking in its natural simplicity, and venue Weddings at Tiffany’s designed with clean, classic luxury, capable of being transformed into anything you desire. Even Paris, as we, along with some local wedding heavyweights, actualised. I hope you enjoy this edition. Be sure to tell us what you want to see more of on The Bride’s Tree, and you can win a unique rose quartz ring. Rose quartz is Pantone’s colour of the year, making this a very coveted piece indeed. Good luck, lovely brides! Much love,
Sally xo

Maleny wedding venue, Weddings at Tiffany’s, may derive its name from the classic movie set in New York, however the chapel, dining hall and grounds were transformed into a luxe Parisian-inspired style for this Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding inspiration shoot.

Deliciously satisfying and a piece of art in itself, the grazing table brings colour and festivity to the post-ceremony alfresco mingle area in the courtyard. Enjoyed under strung festoon lighting making the dessert selection of delicious cherry, strawberry and pecan pies all the more delectable.
