5 benefits of a morning wedding

3.30 pm is the most popular time to marry, but have you considered having your wedding at 11am?

Reasons to marry before midday include:
  • the overhead sun causes less shadows
  • lunch is a less expensive and more casual meal to provide than dinner
  • the winter days are lovely and warm
  • your guests won't be squinting into the afternoon sun
  • you'll be  home in time to watch Master Chef!
A glorious winter's day at 11am - Wellington Point wedding

Technology causes wedding mishaps

Did you know that the new iPhone 7s do not come with aux ports? Couples who arrive at their wedding ceremonies planning on playing their ceremony music through the PA system have been disappointed to find that their phones need an attachment to link to the aux cable. Check if your celebrant has an adapter you can use.

Wedding Arbours

Rustic Arbour at The Rocks, Yandina, on the Sunshine Coast
I've seen so many clever and creative arbours at weddings lately. The groom from today's wedding at Wellington Point, Brisbane, made this arbour himself!




Funcionz were the stylists for this rustic looking arbour at a recent wedding at Coochiemudlo Island, 10 minutes off the coast of Victoria Point in Brisbane.

Beautiful Illusions, based in the Redlands, styled this wedding earlier in the year at Raby Bay, Cleveland.




The next arbour was from a wedding at the Novotel Twin Waters Resort near Maroochydore. 


Riverlife functions at Kangaroo Point, Brisbane, created this wedding arbour.

This home-made arbour was made from tree trunks, draped fabric in the same colour as the bridesmaid dresses, and artificial flowers. It looked fabulous.

The floral arbour below was created by Ultimate Events on the Gold Coast. Photography by J'Adore. 

Below, the circular arbour was decorated by the bride. You don't need too many frills when you have an outlook like this!


Victoria Park Golf Club, in Herston, Brisbane, is a popular choice for wedding ceremonies.
Below is the wooden arbour in its natural state.



And below, Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club at Manly, Brisbane, displayed this arbour. Decor by Beautiful Illusions at Capalaba.



Whatever your style or budget, an arbour can add an attractive backdrop for your wedding ceremony area.If you are looking for a celebrant in Brisbane with plenty of ideas, contact Cheryl at  ido@cherylwedding.com

New ideas for your wedding ceremony

Are you looking for a way to include your guests in the ceremony? Why not have them contribute to the bridal bouquet? When Lauren arrived at her ceremony at Riverlife by the Brisbane River, she was escorted by her Dad, and carried a single white rose. 

Lauren is escorted by her dad.
As she walked down the aisle, Lauren collected a flower from each of her family members. In the background was Nick Cave, singing "Into my Arms". 


As Lauren reached the end of the aisle, her sister was waiting with Lauren and Ian's gorgeous daughter, Ruby, who held the final flower for the bouquet. 

Lauren's mum, Carol, had saved some ribbon from her own wedding, and she used this ribbon to gather all the flowers into a bouquet. 


Ian and Lauren took a breath, and prepared to make their vows to each other. The guests watched on in hushed anticipation.

This was such a lovely way to start the ceremony, and allowed Lauren a moment with some of her family members at one of the most important times of her life. The guests loved being included in the ceremony, and being able to contribute to the memories.
