Yasmyn and Brett’s Beautiful Redland Bay Golf Club Wedding
Set against the lovely surrounds of Redland Bay Golf Club, Yasmyn and Brett’s wedding was a relaxed and genuine celebration filled with family, laughter and heartfelt moments.
Brett waited beneath the arbour in a black suit and lilac
tie, joined by two of his brothers as groomsmen. Sean, the flower guy, made an
unforgettable entrance, dancing as he scattered petals and drawing huge cheers
from the guests.
The couple’s two daughters followed in white, with
bridesmaid Chantel in lilac. Yasmyn then arrived in a beautiful white beaded
dress, approaching on the arm of Brett’s dad before her mum escorted her to the
front—a touching entrance shared with two special family members.
The ceremony was warm, effortless and unmistakably theirs,
creating memories they will treasure for years to come.
Yasmyn wrote: “We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better
celebrant! ❤️ Cheryl was absolutely amazing and helped make our
wedding day so special. She made us feel comfortable, supported and relaxed,
and everything was just perfect. If you’re looking for a celebrant who
genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, we couldn’t recommend Cheryl
enough!”

Samantha and Scott’s Micro Wedding on North Stradbroke Island
North Stradbroke Island added its own unforgettable moments. Whales swam close to shore, slapping their tails and lifting their fins through the sparkling water, while a pod of dolphins moved through the waves nearby. Wallabies grazed on the lawn, and during the ceremony a kookaburra sat in a nearby tree, quietly watching the proceedings.
The ceremony setting was simple and beautiful: a wooden sun arbour on a jute mat, styled with sunflowers, white Americana chairs and dusty blue fabric on the signing table. Scott arrived with his son and groomsman in light-coloured linen suits, looking effortlessly coastal for a spring wedding by the sea.
Samantha spent the morning having her hair and makeup done before dressing in a gorgeous lace gown with a long net veil that flowed in the breeze. Her bridesmaid walked down the aisle in pale yellow with the couple’s daughter, before Sam stepped out on the arm of her dad.
As Sam and Scott came together at the arbour, they grinned excitedly and reached for each other’s hands. With only their closest family gathered around, the ceremony felt personal, joyful and full of warmth. Their young children were included, and the personal vows they had written for each other brought a heartfelt balance to the laughter.
Afterwards, the couple made the most of golden hour for photos against the spectacular ocean backdrop, before joining their guests for a relaxed celebration dinner on the deck of the Stradbroke Island Beach Hotel — the perfect ending to a beautiful Straddie micro wedding.

Child-friendly wedding at Redland Bay Golf Club
Courtney and Scott’s wedding at Redland Bay Golf Club was
the kind of day that felt easy, personal, and full of genuine moments. With
open green spaces, a relaxed bayside atmosphere, and plenty of room for the younger
guests to feel included, their celebration had a warm family vibe. From the
ceremony through to the reception, it was a beautiful reminder that a
child-friendly wedding can still feel elegant, thoughtful, and completely true
to the couple.
The styling brought together soft, natural details that
suited the relaxed setting beautifully. Courtney and Scott exchanged vows
beneath a rustic timber arbour finished with sage green draping and white
florals, with rows of white Americana chairs keeping the ceremony space clean
and classic. Bubble wands placed on each chair added a playful touch for guests
to celebrate the newlyweds as the day unfolded. Later, the reception moved to
the deck at the golf club, where round tables were dressed in white cloths,
sage green runners, and flowers in dusty pink tones.
Scott kept his look relaxed and refined in a beige suit paired with a crisp white shirt. The details tied in neatly with the day’s natural palette, from the white rose boutonniere to the green pocket square, finished with a tan belt for a classic touch.
Courtney’s look was classic and romantic, with a white lace
dress featuring simple shoulder straps. Her blonde hair was braided and softly
curled, adding texture without feeling overdone, while her bouquet of white
roses kept the overall look fresh, timeless, and beautifully aligned with the
ceremony styling.
The couple’s children were dressed beautifully in outfits
that tied in with the relaxed, elegant feel of the day. The boys wore chinos
with white shirts, braces, and sage green bow ties, while the girls wore white
dresses suited to their ages and matching with their mum’s bridal look.
The ceremony itself felt light, real, and genuinely
child-friendly. There was space for the little moments that naturally come with
having children involved in a wedding day, and reflected Courtney and Scott’s
life together as a family. It was heartfelt without being formal, relaxed
without losing its meaning, and shaped around the people who mattered most to
them.
As the afternoon continued on the deck, Courtney and Scott’s
wedding felt exactly as it should: relaxed, memorable, and centred around
family. The details were thoughtful and the setting made everything feel easy
with a genuine sense of celebration from start to finish. It was a wedding that
showed how beautiful it can be when a couple creates a day that suits their
life, their children, and the people they love most.

Carly and Josh’s Bayside Wedding at G.J. Walter Park and the Grand View Hotel, Cleveland
Josh and Carly chose an intimate bayside ceremony at G.J.
Walter Park, Cleveland, with four special guests, followed by a reception
dinner with family and friends at the nearby Grand View Hotel.
Josh arrived first with his brother-in-law, looking sharp in
a black suit and teal blue tie. His mum soon joined him in a royal blue dress.
Carly arrived with her dad in an immaculate 1951 Jaguar Mk 5.
Greg wore a dapper checked suit, while Carly looked elegant in an ivory satin gown
with a deep V neckline, low back, beaded veil, classic upstyle, and white rose
bouquet.
Josh had been calm and collected, but softened as soon as he
saw Carly walking towards him. They took hands beneath the shady Moreton Bay fig
tree.
Set on the edge of Moreton Bay, G.J. Walter Park provided a natural,
quietly elegant backdrop for their vows. The ceremony felt intimate, relaxed,
and deeply romantic.
After photos by the bay, the couple headed to the Grand View
Hotel, where they surprised guests at their engagement party by revealing they
were actually celebrating their marriage. With its history, bay views, and
welcoming atmosphere, it was a beautiful place to share a meal and toast their
new beginning.
The reception brought heartfelt speeches, laughter,
beautiful food, and time for guests to connect. Cleveland’s relaxed coastal
charm paired perfectly with the warmth of the Grand View Hotel.
From their micro ceremony to their joyful party reception,
Carly and Josh’s wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, family, and togetherness.

Tammy and Johnny’s Redland Bay Golf Club Wedding
Redland Bay Golf Club was a beautiful setting for Tammy and
Johnny’s August wedding, with manicured greens, shady trees and glimpses of
Moreton Bay creating a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. The mild winter weather was
perfect for their garden ceremony.
Guests were asked to wear pastel colours, and the effect was
spectacular. Soft pinks, blues and greens added a fresh, romantic touch against
the golf course backdrop and bay light, making the whole celebration feel
thoughtful and beautifully styled.
Vocalist Cassidy sang as the ceremony began, setting a warm
and emotional tone. Johnny walked down the aisle with his mum, followed by
Tammy with her dad. At the front, the couple paused to hug both sets of parents
before taking their place under the arbour, a heartfelt nod to family and heritage.
Their ceremony was heartfelt and sweet, with family and
friends gathered close as they exchanged vows that were equal parts adorable
and amusing. There was an easy joy to the day, allowing everyone to simply
enjoy the moment and celebrate the two people at the centre of it all.
What stood out most was the warmth between these high school sweethearts. Their smiles and the happiness reflected by their guests made the ceremony feel personal, genuine and full of love.
Afterwards, the golf club grounds offered a stunning
backdrop for relaxed portraits with family and friends. The greens, trees and
open views gave Tammy and Johnny space to enjoy a few quiet moments together
while guests continued celebrating nearby. Soft winter light and a gorgeous
orange sunset made the afternoon feel unhurried and romantic.
It was a relaxed, joyful and love-filled celebration.
Congratulations, Tammy and Johnny—your Redland Bay wedding was a beautiful day
to remember.

Wedding at Rainforest Gardens, Mount Cotton
Ryan and Tamara’s afternoon wedding at Rainforest Gardens,
Mount Cotton, was relaxed, stylish, and completely their own.
Hidden away at Mount Cotton, Rainforest Gardens offered
tropical gardens, lagoon views, and a beautiful outlook toward Moreton Bay. But
what made the day memorable was not only the setting. It was the calm,
intentional feel of the celebration: a modern garden wedding shaped by family,
friendship, and a couple who did not need to overdo a thing.
Ryan and his groomsmen looked sharp in black suits, with the
groomsmen adding deep burgundy pocket squares for a subtle touch of colour
against the rainforest backdrop. Before the ceremony, they waited together on
the deck by the lagoon, quietly taking in the moment before the music began.
The four bridesmaids followed in burgundy dresses, each in a
different style chosen to suit them individually while still creating a
cohesive look. Carrying bouquets of pink and white roses, they made their way
down the hill as Charlie played “If You Love Her” by Forest Blakk.
Then Tamara appeared at the top of the hill on the arm of
her father, walking slowly toward Ryan while Charlie sang “I’ll Set the Table”
by Nic D. Her white gown featured a lace bodice with a delicate leaf motif, tying
in beautifully with the garden setting, while her soft tulle skirt and long
veil gave her look a timeless elegance.
The ceremony was created with input from Ryan and Tamara, so
it felt personal, genuine, and very much like them. There was sweetness,
humour, and just enough emotion to honour the importance of the moment. Their
personal vows brought the focus back to the heart of the day: the promises they
were making and the life they were choosing together.
After the ceremony, champagne was served on trays while the
couple slipped away for sunset photos.

Jesse and Leticia's Tweed Coast wedding
Jesse and Leticia’s wedding was an unforgettable celebration
of love, laughter and forever. High school sweethearts, they marked the
beginning of married life surrounded by the cheers, warmth and joy of their
family and friends.
Set high on a hill near Kingscliff, Botanica Plantation
House offered a breathtaking winter backdrop. Clear blue skies, sunshine and sweeping
views across the Northern NSW farmlands towards the distant mountains made the
day feel serene and beautifully framed. The gardens created picture-perfect
spaces for guests to sip champagne, catch up and enjoy the celebration.
Leticia looked radiant in an elegant white gown with a
panelled bodice and full skirt, her dark curls swept gracefully up for a timeless,
romantic look. Jesse was equally classic in a white tuxedo jacket, black
trousers and a black bow tie.
Their wedding party added striking style: four groomsmen in cream
suits with green jacquard ties, a man of honour in a green suit with a cream tie,
and three bridesmaids in elegant long green dresses.
From the first moments, the day reflected Jesse and
Leticia’s warmth, sincerity and calm excitement. Every detail was thoughtful,
but it was their genuine joy and deep connection that remained at the heart of
the celebration.
The ceremony was filled with heartfelt words, hidden smiles
and gentle humour that eased the nerves and let their personalities shine.
Standing together, Jesse and Leticia showed the strength of a bond built over
years and the love that brought them to this moment.
Their vows were a beautiful reminder that marriage is both a
promise and a beginning — a commitment to keep choosing one another through
ordinary days, extraordinary adventures and everything in between.
After the ceremony, the celebration continued with laughter,
conversation, happy tears and the unmistakable feeling of a community gathered
to honour a much-loved couple’s new chapter.
As they begin married life, Jesse and Leticia carry with
them memories of a day filled with love, gratitude and celebration — and the
promise of a future built together, one beautiful chapter at a time.

What Went Well
Top Golf was one of the highlights of the weekend. The
package included drinks, wings and pizza platters, which everyone enjoyed. The river
cruise was also well equipped and added another enjoyable activity to the
itinerary.
One of the attendees also brought along a maid’s outfit for
the buck to wear, which added plenty of fun and gave the group something to
laugh about.
What Could Have Gone Better
The party bus arrived late, which cut into the drinks package
time at Top Golf. That was disappointing for the group – when there’s a drinks
package, you want to be there early!
After seeing all the fantastic photos from the hen’s
weekend, it was also a shame that there were not more high-quality photos from
the buck’s weekend to capture the memories.

Booked activities: Dracula’s Theatre Restaurant on Friday night and a sunset cruise planned
for Saturday night
What Went Well
The group really enjoyed the show at Dracula’s Theatre
Restaurant. The meal was reasonable, the entertainment was a hit, and the group
photo was a thoughtful touch that everyone appreciated.
What Changed on the Day
The sunset cruise was cancelled at the last minute, which
was disappointing and left Jack scrambling for an alternative. The group ended
up going to the Ice Bar instead, which turned out to be a fun novelty and gave
everyone plenty of opportunities for Instagram photos.
The Biggest Planning Challenge
Collecting money was the hardest part of organising the
weekend. Some attendees needed a payment plan, so it was important to manage
costs clearly and give everyone enough time to pay.

Shakaya and Aden’s Redland Bay Golf Club Wedding
Set against the beautiful lawns and gardens at Redland Bay
Golf Club, high school sweethearts, Shakaya and Aden, celebrated their wedding
day with a ceremony that was both relaxed and memorable. The venue is known for
its beautiful outdoor wedding spaces and golf course views, making it a fitting
backdrop for the couple’s wedding dreams.
One of the most delightful details of the ceremony was the live music. Musician
Matty Ross sang “Still the One” as the page boys, flower girls, bridesmaids and
then Shakaya, on the arm of her brother, made their way down the aisle. Having
live music gave Shakaya the flexibility to time her entrance to a very specific
point in the song, creating the beautiful wedding moment that she had
envisioned.
The wedding party looked stunning in a modern palette of black, sage and soft
green tones. The bridesmaids wore black eternity dresses, while the groomsmen
were dressed in classic black suits with sage green ties. Aden stood out in a
grey suit with a subtle hint of green, perfectly tying his look into the day’s
colour story. Shakaya was absolutely radiant in a long white sparkly gown,
finished with a floor-length veil and softly curled hair.
The styling at the ceremony brought everything together beautifully. Chairs
were adorned with emerald green sashes and eucalyptus leaves, adding fresh
texture and rich colour against the natural greens of the golf club surrounds.
The overall effect was stunning, with every detail complementing the relaxed
outdoor setting.
After the ceremony, Shakaya and Aden walked back down the aisle as newlyweds
and were handed small mallets for one of the day’s most fun surprises. Instead
of cutting a traditional cake, they smashed a mock wedding cake to reveal
lollies hidden inside. It was a light-hearted and memorable moment that
delighted guests, who then enjoyed the sweets while relaxing on the lawn at the
golf club as family portraits were being taken.

A Gorgeous Winter Microwedding at The Lighthouse Restaurant, Cleveland Point
On a clear winter afternoon, The Lighthouse Restaurant at Cleveland Point provided a beautiful backdrop for Richard and Kerrie’s intimate microwedding. With sweeping views across Moreton Bay and a charming gazebo setting, the venue perfectly suited their vision for an elegant, classic ceremony shared with close family.
The ceremony took place in the gazebo, where sparkling bay views
framed the couple beautifully. A stunning arbour dressed in flowing white
draping and rich burgundy florals added romance to the fresh sea air and created
a memorable focal point for their vows.
Every detail reflected timeless style. Richard looked dapper
in a smart suit with a crimson tie and matching rose boutonniere, while Kerrie
was elegant in a long-sleeved gown with a lace bodice and sweeping train. Kerrie’s
adult daughters wore burgundy wrap dresses as bridesmaids, and Richard’s adult
daughters stood proudly as groomsmaids in matching multiway gowns.
The ladies’ soft curled upstyles complemented the romantic
feel of the day. Kerrie’s granddaughter made a sweet flowergirl in soft pink,
while her grandsons were adorable ring bearers in little suits. The bridal
party arrived in style in a white stretch limousine.
Although the guest list was small, the emotion was immense.
With only their nearest and dearest present, every word and glance felt deeply
personal, creating a ceremony centred on love, family, and the joy of being
together.
Afterwards, the group headed across the road to Cleveland
Point Recreation Reserve for photos by the water. The bay views, foreshore, and
lighthouse precinct offered a stunning setting for relaxed family portraits and
elegant bridal images.
While photographs were underway, the Lighthouse staff transformed
the ceremony space into a dinner setting with tables, chairs, and an outdoor
heater.
The sweet details were beautifully planned too, with a
decadent red velvet top tier and vanilla cupcakes topped with fresh berries and
swirls of frosting.
Richard and Kerrie’s winter microwedding was a lovely
reminder that weddings do not need to be grand in size to feel extraordinary.
With the bay sparkling behind them and treasured moments shared with children
and grandchildren, their day was intimate, elegant, and timelessly romantic.

Micro wedding ceremony and macro wedding party at Mount Coot-tha
Paris and Connor wanted the best of both worlds for their wedding day. The pair decided on an intimate ceremony with just their immediate family in the Botanic Gardens, and celebrated with a huge party with all their extended family and friends at the Summit Restaurant, Mount Coot-tha afterwards.
The pair contacted the team at Elope Brisbane to book their
ceremony, opting to DIY their styling, and select just celebrant and
photographer for their ceremony package. On a gorgeous winter afternoon, we met
the couple at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. The garden ceremony was simple,
quiet, and relaxed, with the couple’s vows to each other being the highlight.
Afterwards, the occasion was captured in beautiful photos surrounded by nature.
Paris looked stunning in a strapless gown, with a pearl
necklace and her hair swept up. Connor was very handsome in a charcoal suit and
white shirt – relaxed with no tie. The bouquet and boutonniere featured bright
pinks and oranges. The pair couldn’t
stop grinning throughout the day.
After the ceremony and photos, the group made their way up
to the top of Mount Coot-tha to enjoy their reception dinner. The celebrations
included a dance floor and a tiramisu tower.
